Aprés netroots

The Netroots panel on trolls went OK although the audience was more diffuse than the panel, adding to a fairly vague and underpopulated hour. DJ Danielson was in the second row and says he put a phone pic of my Mitch Berg caricature on his Facebook page.
I didn’t say we didn’t have any fun.
But I [...]

Sa·tni·t·unz

More than once my self-deprecating humor has been confused with low self-esteem. This situation is compounded by the fact the things I’m proudest of are intangible which is another way of saying I don’t make any money from them.
I’m proud I’m on this list:

Not because I’m TBogg’s biggest fanboy. Granted he’s more concise, better organized, [...]

Fri·ni·tunz

Went to upload tunes to 4Shared and discovered they’ve boosted the file limit to 200MB. Having put some time and thought into this Alaskan-requested Latin set last night, I’m uploading the original 97MB set and that’s that.
Maybe I’ll do a 200MB set next week to make up for my annual vacation the week after that.
This [...]

Downfunk

R&BsoulViennabasedMongolianCowboyBeBopcountryjazzfunkhoprockhopTomwaits, actually.

After you listen to #4 you’ll better understand why I ruthlessly purged most of what iTunes offered up and broke all my rules by cherrypicking the crap out of this set. Sequentially all iTunes but over 40 songs got deleted before I was happy with the premiere all new brand spanking 100MB/onehour Friday Set [...]

Links, with Black Canary

I actually turned on the TV for something other than live sports or news tonight.
.
Yeah, it’s weird even thinking about it but ABC was premiering V. It’s not based on the movie (which I liked) but on a ’90s TV show (that I never saw). They promoed an anorexic Morena Baccarin. I was hoping Photoshop [...]

HalloWege set

Since only one person signed up for Pandos, it seems privacy is an issue. I don’t blame you, I wouldn’t want my email address stored on my computer if the RIAA comes knocking.
The new solution is 4shared.com.
Better than Rapidshare.de (100% less porn) and because the files stay there until I delete them. Feel free to [...]

Popnart

Yeah, taking my own sweet time updating TheM but I’ve also been busy and my reading hasn’t been quite as well rounded as I’d like. Still, some pop stuck to my browser so if you’re interested:
Clips from the Michael Jackson movie
Jon Bream on MJ flick
Prince’s late night Paisley Park gig
Prince showed more versatility and musicality [...]

Zombies to Children of Men

UPDATE: Sorry, I just checked again and Rapidshare seems to be permanently redirected to porn site ads. Time to find a new site OR maybe we should just go with Pando. Email me to be put on the list and I’ll notify you each week when new stuff is up. This way I can do [...]

Raw fries and Vietnamese sausage

Eating lots of shiitake mushrooms lately, but my big culinary find of the fall continues to be Lucky Lily brand Bouakham Nam Sausage with a chili pepper. Together with raw fried potatoes and eggs, it’s my new favorite breakfast.
Click to blow up the picture and then squint and you should be able to see the [...]

The all new I’m really going to stick to it Friday night random music set routine thing I do every week for sure for sure

Hmm. That URL may not open in all browsers.
Think of it as an anti-RIAA hack.
Back to random, but not the piteous, mewling, I-cannot-believe-it’s-still-around Friday Random Ten. And no, I’m not going to call this new thing of ours the Friday Random Forty-Two. I’m playing by Rapidshare.de file size rules so the number of tunes may [...]
