Dear iTunes Music Store – Thank you for making The Roots Rising Down immediately available for download. Now don’t get mad, but I have to admit that you were my second choice. For reasons I don’t quite understand, you beat Amazon’s to the release line. Rising Down might be available for mp3 download on Amazon …
I’ve had a Vox blog for about a year and a half. I didn’t need another blog, but I was fascinated by the advertised “LiveJournal-for-Grownups” that Vox was meant to be. It would have all of the social interactivity, little or none of the bad design and clique-fueled drama. Seemed like a good idea. So …
Did you know that you can download the latest Gnarls Barkley album for free? Legally, with Cee-Lo’s and Danger Mouse’s blessing? You can. Of course, I should mention that the version being freely offered is presented as a single track that lasts about 38 minutes and change. Oh, and its in reverse. The whole thing. …
I have no love for cold callers. You know them by their anonymity, when the Caller ID offers an unhelpful “Unknown Number” or “Unknown Caller.” Their timing is usually quite charming, like when you’re about to sit down for dinner, or when they call on Saturday morning, before even the coffee has time to finish …
Amber Rhea took it. Got an 88%. Mme le Debris Blanche took it. Got a 91%. So I had to take it. You know the Bible 95%! Wow! You are awesome! You are a true Biblical scholar, not just a hearer but a personal reader! The books, the characters, the events, the verses – …
So … I made one of those MuxTapes. Tony — an inspiration to all, living or dead — made one a few weeks ago, so it was just a matter of time before I made my own attempt. How was it? Not bad, though I’m not sure if I’ll be doing another anytime soon. The …
Fell behind a bit on my LibraryThing vs. GoodReads, didn’t I? Sorry about that. Though truth be told, there’s not much new on the GoodReads front. Been so busy with the play that I’ve had time to update my list only on the LibraryThing side. I suppose that betrays some appreciation, doesn’t it? But really, …
I’m not buying a PlayStation 3. Not today, tomorrow or anytime soon. And yet, I am loving this international print campaign (developed by BBDO Chile). Sure, there’s a “boy” version, but this “girl” version is so much better. Why? The boy looks like he’s just playing. The girl looks like she’s winning. (Found on JoyStiq.)
Today, I need audience participation. Put your thinking caps on and get ready to comment. We’re in the market for a new car. The Honda CRV has been the object of our occasional affection for over a year, but the more we consider the prospect, the less we’re able to justify our owning an SUV. …
Sing it with me now … It’s the most, horrible time of the year! With co-workers all sneezing, And everyone wheezing, “My eyesight’s not clear!” It’s the most, horrible time of the year! It’s the crap-crapiest season of all, With prescription refillings and insurance billings, Oh, how I wish it were fall! It’s the crap-crapiest …
