I’m crazy busy today, well, this week really, so I leave you with this disturbing comedic youtube cop out in place of actual content.
Why is on-hold music still so terrible? We’ve obviously got phone and music technology working fairly well these days, why can’t we successfully combine them into a non-iPhone application?
Is there a concern that if they start providing CD quality music, people will call in just to record a swath of “Non-Specific Adult Contemporary Instrumentals vol XIV” for resale on the streets of Bangkok?
A screen grab from CNN:
Will spend entire weekend in his room listening to New Found Glory and weepily texting his girlfriend.
It’s a shame the General isn’t in some sort of position to make changes to the way the military operates, it must really tear him up inside to feel so helpless.
“My Olympic Event is the 500 Meter Eating-Your-Brain.”A screenshot of something I ran across in Google Reader, while adding my Two Gay Uncle-in-laws’ youtube cooking show to my feed.

Man, The Guess Who were a weird and fantastic band.
I don’t really enjoy the stadium style of BTO anymore – it certainly held a fascination for me when I was twelve – but Randy Bachman is one of the CBC’s greatest assets at the moment.
Er, while this began as a ridiculous Friday night music post, ten minutes of wikipedia has me thinking I may be returning to this topic. Is there a quality book on 1960s & ’70s Canadian rock music?
Somewhere there’s a woman elbow deep in another human’s blood, scalpel in hand, her brow roiling with sweat. She is an expert. She has trained her entire adult life to carry out these delicate maneuvers, investing countless hours in study and hard won practice, living for her victories, raging against her defeats.
Somewhere there’s a cluster of men in a humvee, scared and fatigued, rolling down a sun drenched street. The dust of their tires is the only evidence of their passage. Each pile of refuse that slides by their sandy windows may mean death, each inquisitive face that turns to watch their progress must be assessed to be friend or enemy, with little room for error.
Somewhere there’s a Mother who has just made the hardest choice of her life, having crept into the silence of suburbia in late morning. She is waiting at a bus stop with all she has in the world – a baby carrier, two small pieces of luggage, and a black eye.
Somewhere there’s a rich, self-important golfer, holding a press conference.
Jessica was asking me about the deco posters I occasionally use as desktop wallpapers, and if they were obtained at the recently mentioned Vintage Venus. While I love the stuff at VV, the posters she’s got in mind are actually the work of talented fellow, Steve Thomas.
