Uncle Skid

Thanks for the EMusic tip, Ray.

Those are some fantastic prices, and some fantastic music. Dan, I hope that whatever financial considerations has you selling all of these sets is just a temporary thing...

Happy Birthday Randy! I'm really looking forward to hearing the new record... you rule!

I just upgraded... looks good. Step two: install the Adblock Plus add-on.

The lettering on the masking units (industry-speak for those dividers at the end of the lane) is mirror-imaged. Weird! Bowling centers with big ass posts between the lanes is pretty uncommon. Also weird. Aggie87 is weird, but we already knew that.

Consider it attested to!

Here's a new link that does work: Time-Life Album Discography.

Wanna lick??? Psych! I'm with Greg on this one: I hate ITunes. Absolutely hate it. I've been using the iPod plugin for Winamp... that works for me. I didn't even know there was a 160GB model out. Now I've got hard drive envy! The 80GB model is way more than enough for me, so the only reason I would have to upgrade is to increase the bit rate/encoding of all my music. I'm gonna sit tight and wait for the 1TB model, so I can have everything encoded in some sort of lossless format, flac or whatever.

Just got back from seeing the "Truth in Jazz Orchestra", which is an absolutely astounding local/regional big band. These guys play bi-weekly at a local bar, and are friggin' fantastic. if any Org member is passing through West Michigan, drinks are on Skid; great music is guaranteed. Also saw rock band CAKE last week -- definitely the best rock show I've been to in years. Was in the front row, feeling (but certainly not _looking_) like I was 20 years old!

My son and I watch it occasionally, but it did get repetitive and kind of boring. At times, it seemed like they were trying too hard to be a "Deadliest Catch" knock-off. Might need to check out the new season. We've been watching VERMINATORS lately. Yikes!

If Chuck does post a list, I'd bet heavily on Cecil Taylor.

Fruit-free and lovin' it, but I am "relishing the immense citrus accents" of this beer! I do have one lime here somewhere, but that's reserved for a future gin and tonic.

Centennial IPA, from Founder's Brewery in Grand Rapids. Goes well with "This is the Place" by Organissimo! Specs: 7.2 % ABV 46 IBUs Color: Amber Unfiltered Cellar: 6 months Availability: Year round Serving temperature: 42 f Glassware: American pint

Up! Evidence, Live from Blue Lake.

Well, everyone knows ELCA's aren't real Lutherans, so that list is hereby disqualified!

Throw away the grillin' part, and you've got yourself a good start on a hubkaphone!

Happy Birthday to one of the least "crusty" people I know. That Chuck Norris cake totally kicks ass. Enjoy!

192.168.1.9 is the IP address of your PC on your own network; the one displayed by the danasoft thing is the "public" IP address (of your cable or DSL modem, or however you connect to the internet), and is most likely correct. The newest one I've seen actually displays your "location" (city/state), and in my case, was also correct. This is possible because of the way big internet providers (comcast, verizon, charter, etc) assign their IP addresses based on geographic location. These danasoft things are annoying, but ALL of the information they display (browser, IP address, operating system, location, etc) is available to ALL websites that are browsed to -- not just danasoft.

How do you do that? Thanks. It's an add-on to the Firefox browser, and it's wonderful: Adblock. Once it's installed, I just right-click on the offending image, click "adblock image", and it's gone forever. In fact, I could (and should) block ALL images from danasoft.com, not just the one here. I also use something called Filterset.G with Adblock, which is basically a set of rules that eliminates many ads from websites. In particular, allmusic.com looks much better with all the ads blocked.

I adblocked that earlier. Gone!
