After yesterday's posting of Roddy's cover of The Beatles "In My Life" I thought I would post a cover of one of his best songs "Killermont Street" from the album "Love" by Fountains Of Wayne. (especially for Big Rab) Fountains of Wayne From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Fountains of Wayne Origin...
The recent revelations about illegal eavesdropping on American citizens by the U.S. National Security Agency have raised many questions about just what the agency is doing. Although the facts are just beginning to emerge, information that has come to light about the NSA's activities and capabilities...
Continuing on from part 1, part 2, part 3, and part 4 here is the addon list to the list of 48 movies that I made of some of my favourite sweet, romantic movies as a way to countdown to Vday to share the spirit of love vs the commercialism usually associated with Vday. These addons were thought of...
Signal Oil and Gas In a statement this week, Walter Lukken, the C.F.T.C. chairman, said the commission was determined to see that commodity prices were set “by the fundamental forces of supply and demand, rather than by abusive or manipulative practices.”( signal oil profile) Weakness in the...
Honey, I Shrunk The Wolfman (moviehole.net) News has just trickled in that Brett Ratner will not be directing the remake of "The Wolfman". Instead, Joe Johnston ("Hildago") is onboard to replace Mark Romanek as helmer of the pic, keeping the $100 million thriller on course to begin production in...
Before I forget, happy belated Chinese New Year to all! I didn't get to do anything special to celebrate, and I didn't have any of the necessary ingredients to make classic Chinese New Year desserts (I only had a navel orange in the fridge... that counts right? haha), so unfortunately, as much as...
08:53 My visits to Microsoft oriented sites & use of their products other than XP have nosedived. FB was a good investment. Yahoo will be also. # 08:53 But Google remains king! # 08:54 I made more money with MS products in the 90s that I can directly account for. Now the same is done with Google. So...
I'm not really going to be doing a lot of reviews at this rate. I don't mean I'm going to abandon the blog, or only update it sporadically (though I doubt I'll be able to post every day); I don't feel qualified to write critical reviews. That's it. That, and I don't really want to. I hate picking...
The MLB All-Star game is a little over a month away. Voting began on May 1, which is way too early to make All-Star picks, but as of June 10, with the latest results available, and the timing right, here are my votes and analysis for the 2008 All-Stars. Keep in mind that there is still a lot of...
It turns out that a co-worker of mine grew up in Sarasota and went to Riverview (Class of 1994), while his younger brother went to Pine View (Class of 2004). For those of you just tuning in, many of my current friends and I also grew up in Sarasota, Florida and attended Pine View School for the...

An update...finally! Life with 2 kids is certainly a challenge...not much time to blog these days let alone catch up with anyone on the phone. I've been going to a parenting class with Eliana once a week since Eliana was a month old and the instructor frequently asks us what we have been doing to...
I was watching an episode of Friday Night Lights with my wife. The Dillon Panthers were engaged in another clear-eyed, full-hearted battle against a particularly formidable opponent. I noticed something odd and asked the question, "Why is the quarterback on the sidelines?" "Because they're on...
I'm making more mixtapes. It's Valentine's, which, despite the fact I've never had a boyfriend, is a holiday I truly enjoy. (I had chocolate covered strawberries today!) So, in honour of the day, here's my super-cheezy-lovesong mix of some of my favourite Love Songs during the past few months. (My...
When I returned to Denver from San Francisco, I took the RTD SkyRide bus to the Market Street Station ($9, instead of a $50 cab ride), and walked the 2 miles home. I had the iPod on shuffle, and then continued it on my bike ride to work this morning. (50 degrees at 9 AM- yippee!) This shuffle was...

So, it's the Tuesday of my first week at my real job, and I can't stop thinking about my girls. Girls Inc. is a place where after school programs and summer camp are just a thin vessel for pouring out love on the girls of Santa Fe, especially the ones that won't get any support otherwise. Our...
If I could figure out how to be on my feet all day without them getting really tired and sore I would be a happy person. Had to take a bit of a break and put my feet up for awhile, so thought I'd do a quick report on the day, which was fruitful, contemplative, bemused, witty, with lots of movement...
Nope, the saga of Bryce not playing basketball continues. We really thought he might play this last week. During the game he came up to Chad (who is the coach) and asked Chad if he could play with the shoes that he had on (not his basketball shoes). Chad told him yes but he still did not play. :( On...
