Songbird, a “a desktop Web player, a digital jukebox and Web browser mash-up” – have not tried it yet, looks promising!

Awesome contraption a la Rube Goldberg!

Some Dayton, OH YouTube-ness. (Bonus: look for some great Brainiac live footage!)

Some things never change: what my mom’s been up to lately. (This last apparently involving something along the lines of stealing cable.) (Also i found some interesting busts from the early 90s here, including petty theft, unlawful use of property, and drug abuse.)

Information relating to the indictment (for involuntary manslaughter) of my good friend Derek Bayes, a kind and gentle fellow musician, who, according to anecdotal personal testimony, was defending himself against his girlfriend’s enraged, blind, shotgun-wielding estranged husband (or something very similar), when he accidentally choked the guy to death. According to some mutual friends, when the ambulance and police came, he was still on top of the guy and was crying when they took him away. A trumped up case, especially after the local media got ahold of it and spun it the wrong way round like the bloodthirsty vampires they are. I know Derek, and he is a harmless and sweet man with a good heart. And he’s still sitting in prison, with a couple years left on his nine-year sentence. (Don’t let his mug shot fool you, he was obviously having a very, very bad day.)

Another good friend of mine: Dee, who shares my birthday and who is yet another extraordinary kind human being who was caught up in some bad circumstances. Thankfully, Dee’s free again.

Historic South Park District in Dayton, OH (where we now live).

We’re thinking about buying the house we’re in, and this information has been pretty helpful thus far. Also, knowing more about bad mold can’t hurt!

The tables have finally turned! Humans can now control The Ro-bots via thoughts! Never again will a Ro-bot control my thoughts, or control me with its thoughts! And i’m kinda glad about that, i guess, but i think that by some measure, i will miss the old days.

This just in: Egg came first after all. I really do wish i didn’t have to keep continually using this next phrase, but it certainly is warranted in this case: Sorry, chicken.

* or, as Holly calls these metal demons, “Ro-bits”

Goodbye, PSP movies. We hardly knew ye.

When you tell He-man gung-ho shootemup types that war is just plain bad, and that the American war against Iraq is one of the worst, maybe you should make him read this article entitled “Baghdad By Night” instead, from NPR producer JJ Sutherland. To paraphrase Serena Tali, the author of comment #1 from that article, Americans don’t know about this kind of thing because they just don’t want to know.

Still don’t think the US is becoming a police state? Bully cops suck the worst.

Evil terrorist mastermind Mario apparently on the loose in Ohio.
