My first YouTube submission
Had a pleasant time celebrating New Years Eve last night in Northampton, MA at their First Night Festival. We saw fireworks, had great food and saw LOTS of good music like Peter Blanchette (Classical archguitar), Mad Agnes (folk), Katherine First & Max Cohen (Celtic). Ended the night with a "ball drop" and canon fire at midnight followed by ( Read more... ) -
Just goofing off
OK, been having a nice relaxing holiday with my family. My hubby bought me a Kodak Zi8. It's basically Kodak's answer to the MinoFLIP HD's, but it has external flash card access and external jacks for a microphone. So far it seems to take nice video.
So, I did this meme that I swiped from my friend terran_lion and I was amused at the outcome. Guess I like ( Read more... ) -

The complaint from Republicans, and especially Catholics, is that the video exhibit that one artist made portraying the suffering of his partner who was dying of AIDS, depicts at one point a crucifix with Jesus covered with crawling ants.

Is the dream still alive?
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities ( Read more... ) -
This is cool
I have been using eBay forever, but I gave this a try because there was a game I wanted there cheap and the transaction was quick and safe. I got Assassin's Creed and Halo 2 for the Xbox 360 $5 each in excellent condition. Seems like they want to compete with eBay and so far I like what I see. I'm definitely going to keep using this. Oh, if you ( Read more... )
