Did you make it to the Knoxville Tax Day Tea Party yesterday? No? Me either... you know, too busy working off my share of the national debt. Anyway, since you missed it, here's a good "wrap up" from my friend Scott Adcox: ...There was a pretty varied cross section of people. Lots of “Fair Tax” signs (I’ll post later why I have a hard time getting on board with that), lots of Ron Paul supporters, and thankfully not much bashing of President Obama directly. I think most people understand that … [Read more...]

Those Brits are a Talented Bunch
This is just a quick post to link to a video I saw on YouTube I would normally just embed it but they wont allow this one to be embedded. This is way better than the crap that spits on on American Idol and, shows you shouldn't judge by appearance alone. Give this a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY … [Read more...]

Some Sillies for Tuesday
Darn Silliness! As you've probably noticed I've been listening to Brink.fm a bit here lately... not because I'm a HUGE fan of Radio (I'm more of a Audio Book person) but, because they play some pretty good stuff and a Friend of mine runs it. Patrick asked a bunch of us to record some Station IDs for him to use during song breaks. So, I cracked my knuckles, dug out the microphone, fired up Audacity and got to work.
