What Am I Listening To Today?

Just because I can and just because I'm odd, I am going to list what music I'm listening to throughout today. I probably won't do this tomorrow as I will have lost interest in doing this by the end of today!

I have my iPod on album shuffle, so I get a random album that plays all the way through.

I'll update this post as a new album comes up.

So go pop some popcorn and plunk yourself down in front of the computer screen. It's a lot more fun than $700 billion failed bailouts and 700 point drops in the stock market!

1. Bright Eyes - "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning"
2. Adam & The Ants - "Kings of the Wild Frontier"
3. Moby - "Play"
4. Radiohead - "In Rainbows"
5. Pink Floyd - "Ummagumma"
6. The Beatles - "Anthology I"

(Hey! Where's MY $700 billion bail-out??)

"Is Stevie Wonder A Soka Gakkai Member"

I have that Sitemeter thingie attached to my blog because I'm curious about who happens across my site.

In most cases, if someone hits my site from a Google search (e.g. you search for "The Beatles" and I happen to have a Beatles post, my post will show up in the search results), Sitemeter will show the Google query the person used.

This post's title was a Google search query a few days ago that directed the user to a page I posted about our recent big bus trip to San Francisco.

So...

To answer the question: No. Stevie Wonder is not an SGI member.

However, another very talented musician and master of the piano is a member - Herbie Hancock.

So there you go!

Fringe!

Oh, yeah!

TV's merchant of crack, J.J. Abrams, has me hooked on another crazy, spooky, engrossing hour of TV: "Fringe".



I was a major X-Files fan back in the day and haven't had a good X-Filesish fix in a long time (sorry, kids, "I Want To Believe" was VERY disappointing).

"Fringe"'s pilot last night had everything a growing TV sci-fi geek needs for healthy bones and a shiny coat - mysterious conspiracies, melting people, mind melding, the FBI. Mmmmm. Tasty.

It makes the long, long, looong wait between seasons of "Lost" much more bearable.

Vacation Photos!

Just got back last night from a three-day jaunt to Northern California (San Jose, Berkeley, and Sacramento).

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.

Well, here's 24,000 words worth.

(Disclaimer: My wife took the professional pictures with the good camera. These shots are from my iPhone that I occasionally uploaded to MobileMe)

(Note: I was amazed that after flying an hour north, we were still in California. This is a BIG state!)
