Online music services
Joe SieglerIs there anyone reading this who is a member of Apple’s iTunes music service? From what I can gather, it’s a pretty decent thing, and it’s supposedly coming for WIndows later this fall. However, I wonder if it’s going to be iPod only. I hope not. Any attempt to actually get into the iTunes store […]
Chiptole!
For anyone living in the Mesquite/Garland TX area… The Chipotle on Town East Boulevard is opening up next Monday the 23rd. That’s great and bad. I love the place, but on Weight Watchers eating one of their burritos is roughy 85% of my entire food intake for the day! It’s also about 3 blocks from […]
ABC Flushed Monday Night Football
Last night I tuned in to watch Monday Night Football, like I always do, being a football fan. This season so far (not on the field, but off the field stuff) has been one nightmare after another for me. First ESPN goes and adds Michael Irvin to their pre-game team. OK, there’s a reason why […]
New toys for the cats
Since my wife and I got our Tonkinese cats and moved into the house last year, we’d always been talking about getting our cats a cat tree (and some other toys). We never really got around to it until now, though. This morning we attended a cat show out in Ft Worth Texas. From where […]
Lowered CD prices
Saw this story today that Universal is going to be lowering the prices of their CD’s to a list of $12.98. That’s probably a good idea, because other than greed, I cannot fathom why CD’s MSRP for $18.98. I’ve been buying CD’s since they were first really introduced as a consumer item, and I never […]
Perfect, I’m Not
Perfect I’m Not: Boomer on Beer, Brawls, Backaches, and Baseball by David Wells, Chris Kreski Synopsis: Forget the perfect game. Forget the World Series rings. Forget the legendary carousing, the barroom brawling, the heavy-metal head-banging, and the endless supply of uncensored, often havoc-wreaking quotes. Forget the feuds with dumb-assed fans, wrong-headed managers and the entire […]
A Blue Jay Changes its Colors
I noticed yesterday that the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team introduced a new team logo. Normally as a baseball fan, I’ve gotten jaded about that, because mostly they just seem like cash grabs. Especially when the Blue Jays introduced a new team logo for the 2003 season already! The logo above will be used starting […]
Going Bananas
Deep Purple has a new album out. As usual, it’s a good, solid, quality album (although their last one, Abandon wasn’t as great, I think). THe reason I’m writing this is twofold. First to tell you about it. It’s a definite pickup. Unless you like modern crap like Korn, Linkin Park, Britney Spears and other […]
Spam Spam again
Updated the spam count for this morning. The numbers on the left are what I delete from my SpamKiller dead mail folder EACH DAY. Did some computing this morning on the numbers.. Since roughly 6PM on Friday the 22nd (that’s about 112.5 hours) I’ve gotten 10,185 pieces of spam. That’s about 90.5 pieces of spam […]
Spam Spam Spam Spam
For a long time I’ve gotten mounds and mounds of spam. I’ve decided to start counting the number of it I get. I get rather a lot, and each morning when I get in to work, I empty the dead mail folder from my spam killer software. I delete thousands of them a week, so […]
