I’m tired of posting about serious stuff.
by Pete on April 29, 2006
It’s Saturday, the sky is blue, and the sun is shining. The birds are chirping, and the squirrels are… well… doing whatever it is that squirrels do. Even though Thursday’s “I got new music” post doesn’t exactly qualify as serious (…)
A bunch of new music
by Pete on April 27, 2006
As usual, having gone a month or two without any new music, I have been on something of a bender the last couple of days. Here’s a quick rundown of the new stuff: Wolfmother – Wolfmother Blackalicious – The Craft (…)
Network Neutrality

(Thanks to Matt, whose post yesterday brought this topic back to mind…) There has been a sudden burst of activity on the web in the last day or two regarding a vote yesterday in the House Energy and Commerce Committee (…)

by Pete on April 26, 2006
While driving to work this morning, I noticed that the local gas station had raised the price on their cheapest gas to $3.09 per gallon. Fortunately, President Bush has a plan to address this issue, as described in this Reuters (…)

I still don’t like the banner image.
by Pete on April 22, 2006
I like it better than the old one, mind you, but only because I changed the layout. That being said, the sun shining through the clouds over the Catskills looks way too much like some relgious/inspirational/god thing, which is absolutely (…)
Still more site odds and ends
by Pete on April 22, 2006
Still haven’t fixed the comment scrollbar problem, but thanks to generally rainy, crappy day, I managed to get the banner image switched in spite of my general ineptitude when it comes to image manipulation. I also changed the post formatting (…)
