Morphine Day!
No, I haven’t decided to become a morphiend. I’m talking about one of my all-time favorite bands, the amazing, soulful, power trio – Morphine. For no reason in particular, I’ve decided that today is Morphine Day and I’ll be listening to the wonderful sounds of the band, plus the related bands that came before and […]
Canadian Music Day

My boys
Kevin and Max spent Saturday at a computer conference-thingie. Max loved it. Much more than I was expecting. He did utilize the markers and paper I sent along though.

The Sopranos
LOVED the ending!\ What did you think?\ The TWoP episode thread is at 67 pages in less than 12 hours. I’m not even going to attempt to trudge through that.

The Coolest Thing Ever: Share Your iTunes Library Over AIM
The guys in the next row have gone and pulled off a truly killer app. I know the title gives it away, but it really works! Greg explains how it works, but I know you really just want to go download it.\ What does it do? It makes iTunes’ music sharing work over your buddy […]
