The weekend was long but fun. Its nice that the kids are old enough to go to a night baseball game and enjoy most of it. Plus, since the Royals got 12 hits our ticket stubs are worth a dozen Krispee Kreme doughnuts each. Free sugar, always a good thing.
Also this weekend, the NFL Draft! This is your official Mel Kiper Hair warning. That guy is amazing. I love the fact that football is a year round pursuit for so many folks. Gives me something to enjoy while KC tanks the baseball season.
And now onto the rest of the grind……
Here’s Hoping it gets better: 1340 AM – All Comedy Radio
An idea who’s time is long overdue. Unfortunately, they are struggling along right now as all new radio stations do. I just hope they last long enough to get more advertisers. It makes a really nice change of pace during my commute.
The music industry doesn’t know what to think now: London Booted
On the heels of the Grey Tuesday support for DJ Danger Mouse there is now a compilation on the web of folks doing remixes of the Clash classic album London Calling. I’m all for it! Perhaps if enough of this type of things takes place the recording industry will wake up to the fact that CD purchases are not the only viable revenue stream. Hey, I can dream can’t I?
Without the Internet would we have this?: Turbo Tanks
I love old video games. And with programming languages on the web being what they are, the old games are pretty easy to replicate. This one is a throwback to the Atari days and will keep you happily nostalgic and entertained for quite awhile.
Everyone Needs their 15 minutes: Mr. Irrelevant begins his one year celebrity
Each year, the last player taken in the NFL Draft is dubbed Mr. Irrelevant. As such he gets to enjoy all the perks of being a low level celeb including his own week. Now this is a type of fame I can aspire to.
From the "Its fun to read about, but I don’t want to meet him" category: Jawa – Vengeful Wrath in a cute candy shell
I first saw this gentleman posting on the Chronicles of George forums. Well, someone convinced him to start a blog. The most recent entry (a two parter) is a story of revenge that falls somewhere between college frat house prank and a Navy SEAL hazing. I’m not sure whether I should belive him or not. I’m just glad I’m not in his blast radius.
There you have it. Stay tuned for more diversion and destruction in tomorrow’s grind.
