I had meant to keep my blog sort of up to date this week, but it's been a real bitch of a week so far. I've been working on a large PAYING client project that's required the creation of an enormous amount of original content. Luckily, I'm just about finished with the writing portion of the project, but the process has left me sort of burned out by the end of each day, which has made me seek the comfort of the couch and Directv. Tonight; however, there's nothing really on the tube, so here I am, listening to the latest edition of MacBreak Weekly.

Funny Shit

Unless you've been living under a rock, disconnected from the net, then you've probably heard about the new Microsoft Home Party campaign for the upcoming Windows 7 release. Taking a page from the 1970's Tupperware Parties (I remember my mother doing those), Microsoft is selecting a number of average people to host neighborhood parties to introduce Windows 7 to their guests. Yes, they are as ridiculous as they sound, but apparently, it's completely real. 

 For the past few days, I've been driving around my wife's Beetle just for a change of pace. Her car is not equipped with Sirius satellite radio, so I've had to deal with normal radio or a CD. After years of Sirius, I'd forgotten just how bad normal radio can be with all of the commercials and "humorous" observations of the hosts (i.e. forced, fake humor). The local radio station here proudly claims that they're all about the music and that it plays music from a time when music mattered...they go over the top to remind you of this throughout the day.
