I had a great time in London. I rode the tube and I survived. I was a little nervous the first time. I was a certainly a bit apprehensive on the Piccadilly line the first day it was open, especially as I exited at Russell Square. However all-in-all, it was a great trip. Just so […]
I am still off to London tomorrow, and my plans will barely change. (Due to the fact some tube lines aren’t operating, there is by necessity some alternate travel plans needed.) Kudos to those who are going with me, and piss on those who backed off solely due to fear. Shame will turn your heart […]

This time there were no fatalities and only one injury, not apparently serious. One was a ‘bomb and run’ where the bomber tossed a rucksack inside a tube train as the doors […]

Every single artist was shown disrespect by the VJs talking over one or more of the artists’ […]

(Original Posted 6-12-05)http://tinyurl.com/a92ey This may not excite most of my readers, but it excites the hell out of me. These one-off reunions in the past (for various bands) have resulted in new albums sometimes. I have always wanted to see Pink Floyd in concert and never got the chance. The slight, remote chance they might […]
[This post updated 6-7-05 with additional information and citations] Yes, it’s true. Sometime in 2007, you will likely be able to install OS-X 10.5 on your crappy-ass Dell. Apple is losing the big competitive difference they once had. Instead, they’re becoming one of the pack. Apple’s sales may go up, but what made us love […]
