I don't listen to a whole lot of radio. If I'm at home, I'll generally listen to music on my computer or on vinyl (kind of polar opposites, I guess...). The only time I ever listen to the radio regularly is in my car, and 90% of the time, it's NPR. I've never been [...]

GASP! "How do you live?!" This was the reaction of my colleague when I told her I didn't have internet OR cable at home.

I joined Twitter in mid-November and [...]

I make a point of checking out Google's entities on April 1. In the early days I fell for the company's rather believable April Fools Day pranks... now I just make sure to check them out after midnight. This year, they're not alone. Here are a few links to some "lolz" I've noticed today: This year's [...]

I recently purchased Spore for my computer. I'm normally not much of a gamer, especially computer games, but I had heard so many great things about it that I thought why not?
