We Are Scientists' "After Hours" has been stuck in my head for days. I do not get this video — that is, it's perfectly entertaining as a short film, but it has nothing to do with the song. In my head the video is really the Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist trailer, since … [Read more...] about Earworms of the day

Olympic stuff
How much do I love Shawn Johnson for using the August Rush soundtrack ("August's Rhapsody") for her floor exercise music? Lots and lots and lots. And then they had to spend ten minutes on Bush. Who can't even pronounce the names of the world leaders he's been talking to, much … [Read more...] about Olympic stuff

I'm busy this weekend putting together the new design for the business site. I wasn't happy with the first one, and (if all goes well) the domain without … [Read more...] about Assorted notes
Music recommendations again
To everyone who liked Anna Nalick: try KT Tunstall, Tina Dico, and Over the Rhine. Excellent stuff, if you go for altos-with-guitars (and of course I do). Anything else in that vein I should check out? I'm always on the hunt for things I can sing to on the way to work. Anna … [Read more...] about Music recommendations again
A brief note from a busy work day…
(Yes, I have to work today.) Pandora is the coolest thing EVER. I'm looking for a few last-minute gifts, so I typed in an artist [a certain person] enjoys, and Pandora's steadily spitting out CDs I can go look for. And rather than just give you a list, it plays a track from each … [Read more...] about A brief note from a busy work day…
