New Music Monday - Please Read the Letter

So it really annoys me when our local radio station, WTTS, has their version of 'New Music Monday' and then they play songs that have been out for over a year and bill it as 'New Music'. Well, here is my version of that, but if you haven't listened to the entirety of the Allison Krauss / Robert Plant album, you should:

New Music Monday - The Cromatica

No Words... Just Rainbow

Dave Chappelle

There's no way of getting around it, Dave Chappelle is just plain funny. I watched an interview by Charlie Rose with Chappelle where he talked about natural humor and how it just comes easy to some people. Well, here is another example of how funny he is (though not always the cleanest humor), enjoy:

WARNING - Apple Sucks

That's right, you heard me... the new iTunes 8.0 keeps shutting down on my computer (I even went back through the installer). I keep submitting the bug knowing that it won't do any good but hoping it brings a smile to someone's face over at Microsoft.

Any one else having this issue.

Browse in Chrome

In the computer world I am two distinct things,

1. A Mac user (though, at work I am forced to use a PC) &
2. A Firefox user (though, like any good designer I test on as many platforms and in as many browsers as I can).

Today, I find myself in a dilemma. One other technology that defines who I am is Google, and now they have released the Beta version of a Firefox killing browser called Chrome.



Right now, at least, I am becoming a chrome user... we will see what the future holds.

Who Gives a Flip for an Oxford Comma?

Sometimes I find things that I think are cool, awesome, and worthwhile but perhaps a little offensive too. This often happens with music. I find something that I want to share with you all (meaning the one person who reads this blog) but choose not to because it is not appropriate.

Now, however, I have found something so cool, interesting, educational, and entertaining that I must share regardless of the consequences.

The Oxford Comma.

What is an Oxford Comma (or Harvard Comma)? It is a comma that looks just like any other comma except that it functions in a way that enables the English language to be correctly understood when it runs the risk of being sucked into a vortex of nonsense.

As I found in this short, helpful article, the Oxford comma helps understand situations that otherwise could be taken the wrong way and be absurd.

For example, if a young lady places an ad in the 'Personals' to tell us that she enjoys dining out, long hikes in the woods, holding hands and playing the guitar. I play the guitar, and let me assure you, it is difficult to hold hands and play the guitar. What if she tells us that she enjoys dining out, hikes in the woods, holding hands and riding motorcycles. Yikes!

Anyway, the reason I found this article and the reason I said what I did at the beginning is because of a band with a clever (yet, expletive laced song), "Oxford Comma". Look it up if you dare.
