I’m digging on this track from Depeche Mode’s latest album that I picked up off iTunes last month. I’m posting the lyrics below. Don’t try to read anything into them — I just think the song is awesome. Having my iPod back is wonderful, although I’ve been informed that I really need to re-import all […]

On Sunday, I took the 25 bus to IKEA and returned a pillowcase I’d bought the day before. It was far too rectangular for my taste. I then walked to Best Buy where they had plenty of white 60 GB Video iPods on hand to exchange for my busted ass iPod. The cool thing about […]

Everything was going fine tonight while I was learning how to convert videos and put them on my Video iPod… until… it started crashing. I’d sync’ed with iTunes a few times during the evening while I was moving new videos on there until about half an hour ago when the iPod started clicking and flashing […]

Busy day. Ran three miles at the gym before they closed at noon so I could counteract the effects of the horn of giving. Tonight I’m hanging out with Heatherito and her family. My dad is in Houston at my Aunt Carol’s place with my cousins on his side. My mom, sister and nieces are […]

I just pre-ordered an album for the first time on iTunes. It’s Madonna’s latest and it drops next week. That’s music distribution terminology. I’m fascinated by how Madonna is transforming herself once again. And, yeah, I’ll admit it… I’ve got a crush on Madonna. I think it was that winking at me thing she did […]

The SEPTA strike is over as of yesterday. Governor Ed Rendell sat down with union and management at 8 PM Sunday night and didn’t emerge until 5:30 AM the next morning. My dog was at the kennel so I took it slow that morning. Upon realizing that my ass was going to be late, I […]

Fifty years ago today on November 5, 1955, Doctor Emmott L. Brown was hanging a clock above his toilet. He unexpectedly slipped and fell, thus hitting his head in the process. When he woke up he had a revelation. A vision in his head of what he would later call the flux capacitor. This revolutionary […]
