Hillary Clinton has an iPod. Yeah, and so do Condi, Dubya, and at least half of Washington, based on my observations during the morning and evening commutes. What’s on it is the real interesting question.

Songs from Clinton’s youth figure heavily in the selection of about […]

I’ve taken to exploring Pandora on a regular basis to expand my musical horizons, based on stuff I already like. So I added my Pandora favorites list to the sidebar. (There’s an RSS feed too.) If you have any recommendations, I’m always open to new music I might like.

There are at least three kinds of people I just have no tolerance for: child abusers/molesters, spouse abusers, and people who abuse or are cruel to animals. On a seemingly unrelated note, I also love documentary films. So, when I read the Washington Post review of HBO’s documentary Dealing Dogs, about an undercover investigation […]

OK. I admit it. This meme is a easy way to get something posted on a Friday when I’m particularly busy. And since the blog was broken most of the morning, nothing got posted, and I’m probalby not going to post until much later today, I’m totally falling back on this meme.
Besides, it’s also kind […]

I have to admit, I have a fascination with a certain movie genre. I have for years, actually. It started years ago when I came across The Rapture at my local Blockbusters, and rented it as soon as I read the summary. As soon as I found out that Kirk Cameron was staring in the […]

I clicked when I shouldn’t have clicked, and for that I’m truly sorry. But misery loves company, so here it is. Click if you dare.

I game across the iTunes Signature Maker and decided to give it a spin after reading the description.
People often ask me what music I listen to, and I find it difficult to describe my enormous music collection in just a few sentences. So I created iTSM to answer in sound a question I cannot […]

Parker’s daycare is closed for a training today (which is probably cancelled due to the snow), and I’m at home with him today. So, there hasn’t been much time to peruse my RSS feeds for news and noteworthy blog posts; just some posts I wrote last night and one that I crossposted from the blog […]
