I am always impressed with how well this little Zire camera captures colors. This is one of my favorite things.
Finished Dave Barry’s Tricky Business last night. I’m a fan of Barry’s columns but I had never read any of his novels. I’ll admit that I was very entertained. This isn’t pretending to be anything more than it is, a darkly comedic caper book, and that’s a good thing. Here’s the gist: The story centers [...]
I find PETA shrill and counterproductive. But when they’re going to use Triumph the Insult Comic Dog to rag on Clay Aiken, well, I can’t help but laugh.

Okay, check it out. I had this ready for October’s mix deadline but I’ve only gotten around to posting it. That’s the breaks. I know, I’m a slacker. Anyway, if you are a fan of early 90′s hip-hop (and you should be) this is a mix of songs sampled to create some of the classic [...]
