I just read this article and thought it was pretty funny that Yahoo! has chosen to have a person that got fourth on American Idol as its Holiday party performer. One of the years that I worked there, they had the Flaming Lips who were very entertaining and edgy for the crowd that was in attendance. …
I just saw the new Spiderman trailer (check out the gadget I put on my Space to see it for yourself) and I am a little concerned that Spiderman is going the way of most other "comic book" movies. At some point, the comic book stories become unfamiliar to the mass of people that only…
During the Seahawks game today, I saw the new Budweiser commercial which talks about the tradition of the Thanksgiving Football game. What a great idea for a commecial. It definitely struck a positive chord with me. Now I just wish that Budweiser was smart enough to post the commercial online so I could check…
I cannot believe that the Vegoose Music Festival 2nd Ed. is finally here. It is going to be an action packed Halloween weekend in Las Vegas full of good times, good music, and hopefully some good luck! For those of you that don’t know what Vegoose is, it has become one of the hottest music…
I just read this article and I seriously almost hit the ceiling in joy. Someone has found a legal way to play iTunes AAC files on MP3 players other than the iPod. YEAH! I have always said that I have no problem paying for music downloads, but if I pay for it I should…

However, now that I work at Microsoft, I have started using the Pandora radio station. It is a pretty cool music application. I have been rating and creating…
Last night I went to the Dave Matthews and Rolling Stones concert at Qwest field in Seattle. Thanks to Stephanie for the tickets courtesy of XBOX. I have to say that despite their age (Mick turned 63 on July 26th) Rolling Stones still have it. Highlights included: A guest performance by Dave Matthews for Let it Bleed A…
I went to see the Killers concert on Thursday night. I hadnt spent much time listening to the new album, but I pretty much know the entire first album by heart. It was at the Paramount Theater in Seattle, and I was excited to check out a new music venue. Overall, the concert was…
On the way into work this morning, I heard on NPR that there have been 109 journalists killed in Iraq since the war started. Maybe I am naive, but I cant believe the number is that high. I understand the need for journalists to get the scoop but that seems like a risk that…
