- I'm never drinking tequila again. Ever. It's evil. It's even more evil disguised as a watermelon margarita. No babe, I didn't puke, but I feel like my head is being run over by an army tank and I have sweaters in mouth. |

- This radio station, which recently received its regular bag of freebies from EMI, finds that it is unable to play any of the CDs it received - the copy protection on the discs gets in the way. Serves em right! This is thigh slapping hilarity!!! How do artists get roped into having their CDs copy-protected? Are they dumb? |

- Turned on the telly this morning and there was Lisa-Marie Presley dressed in Elvis-black singing and dancing. The song was incredibly flat, mega compressed and mixed terribly...nothing was sticking out, not even her voice. Her singing wasn't bad I thought and should have been featured a little more. When you have a song that doesn't have a strong, memorable melody you have to still pretend like you do. |

The underlying connection was closed: Unable to connect to the remote server. |

- The Brazilian government, responding to demands to improve the lot of the black population, has begun imposing racial quotas for government jobs, contracts and university admissions. Civil rights advocates in this nation of 175 million, which has the largest black population of any nation outside of Africa, predict that the debate is likely to intensify even further as a result of a sweeping Racial Equality Statute now before Congress. "After all, this country has an enormous debt because of the iniquity that was slavery in Brazil." |

- To Manila developers, I'm planning an overhaul of all the themes we're using at Berkman, so I put together a checklist. I wonder if I'm missing anything. We've never done a complete review of all the themes, and it may be years before it's done again. So if you know of any theme-based upgrades that should be done across the board, now's a good time to speak up. Of course I'm going to share all the work I do here. |
