Mike thinks I love Avril to much. Since if you go to my AudioScrobbler profile and look at number 32 Avril shows up.
I won't say that I don't even listen to Avril, that would be an outright lie. Her albums aren't that bad if you listen to the songs in order. Its good music for those times when you want to be an angry skater boi. Until I show up on her Top Fans list I won't worry.
I can say she hasn't gotten into my brain near as much as say Joss Stone ...

I just finished watching the end of the second season of Carnivale. Wow. The show is way to good. Better then any other TV show I have ever seen. Very well written and acted. Samson has to be the coolest character ever. I just wish we knew the fate of the show. There is definately room for a 3rd season.
Grity, realistic, and imaginative. Its hard to describe, one really just has to watch the whole series from start to finish. It the reason my room mate and I started watching HBO. Its a reason I will get HBO in ...

Why have I chosen amaroK? It has a beavy of features. Many of which are not available on any platform or not in any other single player.
Check out some of its coolest features.
Update: I just found the coolest feature in amaroK. You can have it append suggestions from AudioScrobbler to your playlist so you get an ever expanding playlist of music from your library.
It is using the Web 2.0 to the best of its advantage.

I just installed two plugins in my sidebar. The first is Tom Gilbert's del.icio.us plugin. This displays the last 10 links I saved in del.icio.us a link aggregator. Del.icio.us makes it really easy to save your bookmarks and access them anywhere.
The second is Ted Parson's WP-Scrobbler plugin. This displays the last 10 songs I have played and submitted to AudioScrobbler on my blog. Very useful. I was to lazy to try and use my code I have written for the front page of my ...

To get around that stipulation I would at times take an article from one format and shift it to the other. This occured most frequently with internet sources. Since the internet wasn't different from how it is today, teachers would put a strict upper limit on the number of internet sources I could have in a given paper. I would take magazine articles ...

The mouse just wasn't meant to live. Even if it was the "protrusion
into our dimension of a vastly hyperintelligent pandimensional being".
The mouse tried to eat some peanut butter off the trap Josh and I had
placed in the living room about four hours earlier. It didn't stand a
chance. I was amazed that it got caught so quickly, we had only just
seen the mouse earlier that morning. The mouse was also travling around
in a lighted room with the TV on. At first I thought the trap has just
been accidentally set off. Then I ...
Mark Cuban the owner of the Dallas Mavricks has his own weblog. Recently he posted two posts about the forthcoming MGM vs. Grokster case that is going before the Supreme Court.
He has some very pertinent points:

Go back just 15 years and even the best forecasters would be shocked at the number of us who have cell phones, use email, have DVD players, spend as much time online as we do watching TV, have MP3 players, replaced our film cameras with ...
Wordpress 1.5 is now available(download).
So far I really like the new theme system. It will make it alot easier to integrate wordpress into the rest of my site seamlessly. I have been pretty lax about actually making wordpress look like the rest of my site. Real soon now I will accomplish that goal and either change my front page or change wordpress or a mixture of the two.
Version 1.5 has better spam blocking features and now has a blacklist feature. So now I can blacklist domains that have been spamming me recently.
I also finally ...

I am not that great at it. Though eventually I could get better. I also haven't really played DDR at all, though I did try a little bit this past summer. I know its something I wouldn't mind getting into at some point. One really just needs to take the time to get used to the ...
