A Multimedia Explosion

Three multimedia events:

1. My friend made the news with his artwork! Check it out here: Barack is Jesus.

2. Pictures of my Spring Break are online. Southern Illinois in all of its hilly glory. Check those out while you still can. [link]

3. I recently had my external hard drive crash. I lost 15,000 MP3's. Can you help? Leave a comment and give me a hand. It's so quiet here.

You Know You're Getting Older When...

You know you are getting older when the music that you love or used to love, music that you thought was esoteric and unique becomes the background music for commercials. What is Camera Obscura doing promoting Coldwater Creek? Postal Service backing UPS (although I think that is brilliant)? Air on some commercial on the radio (I get too caught up in the music to remember the sponsor)? All of the civic commercials!

And the kids just think that it is commercially processed background music. It's a shame.

Some Jokes

The Believer magazine has a policy of only reviewing books that they can say positive things about. This seems like a reasonable policy so I'm going to give it a try with my comments on Lucy Thomas' Jokes Told in Heaven about Babies.

1. The title is interesting.
2. The book itself is well constructed.
3. It's only 32 pages long.
