Tonight, I watched the State of the Union address. While President Bush makes a few good points, a lot of the points are lacking in my opinion.

For example, BellSouth wants Google to pay for preferential treatment on their network. Stupid, right? Well this time, it’s the musical group The Postal Service (who I won’t [...]

Pet Peeves
This ought to be fun! Often times, I go on websites out of boredom and to give me something to write about (read: make fun of). Making fun of other people at their expense is what I specialize in at times. Take what you will from that statement, but I’m the most caring, respectful person [...]

Featured Music: Vel Crowe Johnson – One Ticket
Here’s my idea. Each week, I’ll post a song from my music library that I like and think others should know about. This week, it’s from White Devil. Don’t know the artist? It’s probably because he never gets played under the name any longer after his record company urged him to change the name. Formerly [...]

Maybe It’s Just Me…
Maybe it’s just me but this really annoys me.When websites or people in affiliation with a website or person post on the internet and say “Vote for [person/website] for the winner of [this contest]!” In my book, that gets a vote for another website or person. It’s, in a broad sense, fraudulent and skews the [...]
