• “Damn B*tch Chillax” Fave tumblr blog I’m reading lately. Lots of posts and stuff, very active. Not always work-safe. #
• Might end up doing data recovery stuff in the near future for a newspaper reporter. Sharpen the blades for the work. Should be interesting. #
• My 7yo always sounds like he’s gargling silly putty and jell-o when he’s sleeping. I’m not sure it really qualifies as “snoring” any more. #

• Amazing what you find when you force yourself to look two more links deep): MonkeyBacon. Odd music Quirky~Chill. (Free) #
• Finally: a copy of Lord Buckley’s “Bad Rapping of the Marquis De Sade” w/ “H-Bomb” so I can hear entire “People Should Worship People” bit. #
• Must be a vocal coach somewhere near our house, ’cause the number of people walking South and singing is inordinately high, it seems. #
• Clapped my hands to shock my 3yo back into bed instead of playing with the fishtank. Now my hand hurts, and I can hear him playing again. #
• Watching some sort of uh… remix (?) of Amazon Women On the Moon. Or maybe it was always like this, but I didn’t know. Gutenberg? #
• Turns out Amazon Women on the Moon is a mid-80s sci-fi spoof. I guess I was just… 16… so maybe I was driving around? #
• Geek moment: Just booted BackTrack linux from one of these, and it worked great. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroSD #

• I love my bluetooth mouse, but seriously Logitech: can’t you make a receiver that has more than 2ft range without laggy weirdness? #
• Prepping for the next Podcast, and just ran across Elbow’s cover of U2’s “All I Want Is You.” Either so good it’s bad, or so bad it’s good. #

• We never do this, but hit Taco Bell tonight, and I got some sorta “Big Box o’ FOOD” for $10, and it was 1800 calories. Burrrrrp. #

• Either this is fairly unknown, or I forgot about it. Free DJ control using cheap timecode records and real turntables. #
• Arwen (quoting from SomeECards): “I miss feeling superior to the president.” Tate (Leaving the room) : “Buwok Obama’s WINning…” #
• Can’t wait for the new K-Os album. Also hoping Future Sound of London drops something new this year (we can always hope). #

• I almost forget how much I love the DubSessionPodcast.com by ChillWill, and then I stumble across on and have my mind blown all over again. #
• Off to have sushi with Gramma Yaya and Tate. Woot! #
• Nobody say anything about BSG until we put the kids to bed and can watch it ourselves. Happily, I preemptively set the DVR to record it @ 7 #
• “Simple is hard. Easy is harder. Invisible is hardest.” #

• Peter Gabriel remix contest again. This time it’s Games WIthout Frontiers. Shock the Monkey was a blast last year. #
• Does someone know where I can find a TV auto-gain? I’m getting tired of reaching for the remote every break due to 150% volume increase. #
• “Hylozoic Soil” by Philip Beesley sculpture in the winners list at We Make Money Not Art. Nice to see them post again. #

• Peter Murphy – Cuts You Up is EPIC schmaltz. We just don’t get it quite like that any more. Thanks RadioParadise.com #
• I consider myself pretty keyboard savvy but when websites don’t have a proper tab-to-click setup, it makes things difficult. Dumb mouse. #
