Yep. Just drag them into iTunes or the audio program of your choice and burn away.

FWIW, I'd measure a few of Common's verses from his first two albums against any rap...well, ever.

I may have to check out Common's last two, given the positive reviews here. I've been very much out of the hip hop loop. I still have Common's first few albums. It's an interesting contrast to hear him on Can I Borrow A Dollar? and Resurrection vs. everything that followed. Those early albums easily have his funniest lyrics, when he wasn't playing the role of the "conscious rapper."

I've heard this cited as a defense of Bonds' performance. If the performance-enhancing supplements were this rampant, it stands to reason that many of the pitchers he was facing who were also cranked up on something. I'm not saying I agree with it, but it's not really fair to give one guy hell and not shell it out to everyone else too.

Yes, the "Fire Joe Morgan" blog is one of the funnier sports-related reads I've had this year.

I'm hoping the Raiders approach .500, but they'll probably suck again.

Happy Birthday, Shawn!

Just sneakers and grip tape (like sandpaper).

Worst. Fall. Ever. It's tough to believe Jake Brown walked away from this.

I mostly just sit here and seethe with jealousy when you post something like this, JSngry.

Happy Birthday, Lon!

The entire coastline on that side must be riddled with caves. What a beautiful place. Maui and Big Sur are the only two places I've been with similar formations.

An avatar for Mr. Stryker, perhaps? I hope you'll afford us more posts, Mark.

Happy Birthday!

I see the Celtics also signed Eddie House, who is an excellent shooter.

That's a great story, Paul. It's particularly fascinating to see how quickly nature takes back what was paved over and built upon once man leaves it in neglect. It's also cool to imagine what the "before" images might look like, with your pictures being the "after" shots. Thanks for taking the time to do this!

Stretching boundaries is overrated. Love 'em both. Happy Birthdays!

I couldn't get in either, VB.

They'll have nice offensive balance between KG, Pierce, and Ray Allen. They're not going to be a pushover, that's for sure.

The Conn-mobile.

Whoops, guess I should've read the article.

Fixed.

Food, shoes, and sunglasses--I'm with ya, Joe. Computer equipment and iPod accessories.
