Rolling 3 and 6 month charts have been added, the ui's gone through the roller once again, and so I'll post a chunk of my charts. It is up to you to guess what's what. Viva last.fm!

I'm talking about the "Mosquito" ringtone that's causing such a buzz lately. I finally found an article that includes an mp3 of the darn thing, and I'm proud to say I can hear it. I haven't been a teenager in about a decade, and I've probably done a good bit of damage to the old eardrums with all the loud concerts and guns I've shot in my lifetime, but the squeaky, metallic drone is audible to me

I started a playlist on my iTunes and on my iPod dock, for full-house sound. I walk into the bedroom from the shower and find myself in the middle of a time-warped stereo field of Bebel Gilberto. The phrases fit, about eight and a quarter bars apart, as Aganju quadrophonically swirled from the front to the back of my shotgun during the extended chorus/outro of the remix.

I was just out back and I saw a vague shape quickly glide across the wall of the shed at the back of my yard. and onto the roof of a shorter shed. It made a bit of a whoosh, and although it gave me the chills when I heard it in an otherwise very still New Orleans night, it made no sound of landing on the creaky corrugated shed roof.

I'm packing to move, as some of you may know, and I just realized a strange habit. You know how you can prop a box open by having the corners of the lid-flaps touching ever so slightly? That works great until the least brushing upsets the balance, and the flaps fall in, a gravity trap I set for myself again and again. I have... at least five paper cuts from ornery corrugated. The technique does

Just checked some site stats and found my Windows to Mac visitor ratio to be 5 to 3, and there are more people using Mac's than there are using Firefox. Since it was recently quoted in an online message board that 90 percent of the world's population is using Windows, it gives me pause, like a comma. Is this a strange anomaly, or is my stat-checker faulty? I'd bet on the latter, but ponder for

Remember the Deltron 3030 album with the Automator, Del and Kid Koala? This is the electro version with a superheroine. Instead of Del's cerebral flow, you get the Princess with her superstar fembot tip, like a clone of Madonna and that one bad but still really cool girl from your high school who was proud about being laid before her freshman year and you still have a secret crush on, spliced

When you're packing to move, as I am, you often run into many procrastinators. The most recent being a really great mixtape I put together in the mid 90's. It is a Maxell XLII, 110 minute cassette tape simply marked with a multicolor paint-pen bullseye, but I of course recognized it as the Epic Alternative Rock mixtape. I made it as my greatest hits of my collection, with an emphasis on the

It really has been great working with the folks at KM3 News Omaha. I've been damn proud to be a part of the product this station is putting out. KM3 is top notch and I'm sure Nielsen will notice eventually. And if any of y'all are ever short on cash, you'd be surprised at what Ted Brockman pays for juicy tidbits.That last part's jokes, just to be clear.

I could see bonfires in the distance, at the foot of Mt. Fuji. The photos could not capture these, as I do not have a telephoto lens. I turned on the sonopak, but the drumming had grown faint, the bonfires dimming.You can see the snow is

I'll have to go up the roof for a status check, these photos were taken just after the fire. The dryer itself stretched all the way down the hallway, with several blowers hooked up. It was as if I was back stage, behind some hidden spacewalk. How can I get to the front? I want to jump.

Another critter found outside the station. I almost stepped on this fella. Arby's just dug up a big section of the hill in front of the station in order to expland. I bet they plowed over this guy's burrow, because he didn't look too happy when I ran into him.

Monty and the management just announced that due to the nice weather, they would leave the pool and hottub on the rooftop deck open for an extra weekend.Friday, November 4th-Michelle calls from the station to say there's a fire call at 10th and Jackson, which is actually the parking garage in front of my building. The fire alarms weren't going off, so I thought I'd head up to the roof and see

Brownie the fashion god.A puppet on the edge of retirement shows how he rolled up his sleeves and got er done on that bitch Katrina. I suppose this photo was taken before he got Sharon-the-intern's email.At least he knows his Sonic.

The intricate airbrush work on this tailgate is a perfect example of the core message of our new toast.To the things in which it stands:To tackiness! To backwardness!To inanity!To Iowa!"Drink 'em Uuup!"

The average high.Arrived a little late on Thursday because of a connecting flight in Houston and mass evacuations for Rita.Rallied the troops and headed up to Stubbs for DJ ZTrip and Thievery Corporation. Some barbeque at setbreak. ZTrip was impressive, with percussionists and other musicians and whatnot, plus some good party DJing. Thievery started with a huge, ghostly rotating hurricane

All but one of the 'places I've lived' in New Orleans are outside of the Katrina update.This place flooded during any thunderstorm, except for my bedroom. Which finally flooded during Isidore, and yes, the woman was insane. Michelle Somethingitalian. Her family lives in Bay St. Louis, which was destroyed by Katrina. I wonder what happened to her.I saw a picture of Blackhawks landing about three

Many a tear has been shed to articles found here.The Interdictor. Live webcam downtown, photos and a great sense of humor.Boingboing has stepped up in a big way on the Gulf Coast Crisis.An incredible photo essay on escaping the city.But now I am soothed

That's my most viewed photo on flickr. Three days after it went up, 80 something views. I sent one person an email with the pics for her birthday party. Most of the party pics are in the 40-50 view range, but not the one of Christine and Angela. Investigation continues.

For some reason, goofballs in my building get off on breaking things. They apparently tore up something on the roof to revoke the privileges of the entire building.
