I have a bad habit of not retrieving my mail, except maybe once or twice a week, so I don't know exactly which day the newest Rolling Stone arrived, but I got it from the mailbox around dawn on Thursday and started reading it during CSI. As always, I started at the beginning of the magazine and read through the newsblip parts, first. And, it's ( Read more... )

This situation may change and though it still isn't an endorsement, I am going to take this opportunity to say that not only did John Edwards have to beat a formidable incumbent for his Senate seat, he also had the good sense to announce via YouTube with their embeddable player.

I've blogged in the past about my love for community radio and on a couple of occasions, I've mentioned that I'll often mine a comprehensive list for additional stations to add to my RealPlayer®To be perfectly honest, I'm mostly a creature of habit, so this afternoon I needed something to try and calm the children because I was tired of hearing ( Read more... )
