What a great show. I watched the first five episodes on Hulu, then a friend lent me his DVD so I could watch the rest, as well as the movie, Serenity. If you love scifi, you have to see Firefly. There are no aliens. Yes, no aliens in a scifi series. And it’s set as [...]

New Fav Song: Hello Darlin’
Dec 22
Conway Twitty? Conway Twitty??? Yep, you gotta a problem with that? Conway Twitty, in his own country way, rocks out on Hello Darlin’ and I’m sure left many ladies crying for his big hunky shoulder. What’s a Web designer in Austin TX doing listening to Conway Twitty? Country music, for the most part, irritated me [...]
You have got to watch this video of Anita O’Day at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival. Not only a great song, by an artist new to me, but the video is both hilarious and heartbreaking. The ennui of the crowd is painful; the camera captures some gut-splitting boredom. But she wins them over! Anita O’Day [...]

I’ve listened to it 44+ times since yesterday on my Yahoo Music account. Unfortunately, I can’t find it posted anywhere the Web [...]

New Fav Song: Ice Cream

Who hasn’t heard Ice Cream by the New Young Pony Club on the new Intel commercial? It’s great how commercials can now promote unheard-of bands. Visit their space on myspace to see the video or play the mp3.
Ice Cream was released as a Single with Tight Fit on the B side. They also have [...]
We bought a new Samsung 32″ LCD TV. You should too. Be a good consumer and watch your DVDs in style. This TV is awesome for watching DVDs and playing PlayStation games. We upgraded the cable to high definition, as well. In a few years, the prices will probably drop enough that LCD TVs are [...]
