Understanding and Reading a Blog — John C. Dvorak

Dvorak explains the basics of blogs for readers who may be unfamiliar with how they work. This is required reading for everyone.

For the hell of it, I’m continuing this meme that I picked up from Rev Jim.

Here’s how it works. You put your media player on shuffle (iTunes in my case) and listen to 25 songs, picking your favorite lyric from each. Then everyone gets to guess what song the lyrics come from. I’ll cross out songs as they are guessed.

Oh yeah, no googling. :-) Wait, who am I kidding, you’ll probably have to google some of them.

1. This world in all it’s clarity
   Is glorious, is fake
2. There’s always a siren
   Singing you to shipwreck
3. fold me up
   take me out
   I’m portable – Aaron
4. You can try to get me back baby, with all your tricks and charms
   But when all your games are over, you’ll be left with empty arms
5. It came back to haunt me, and I realised
   That you were an island and I passed you by
6. And I need a song to sing you
   That I’ve yet to find – Joe
7. I’m at this bolted door, but I’m
   Coming through without permission
8. saying hello on the down-low
9. The hour hand has spun
   Before the night is done
10. Here’s a thought for every man
    Who tries to understand what is in his hands
11. Satan is a lier and conjurer too
    if you don’t watch out, he’ll conjure you
12. me i’m on the longest road
    where everything’s overload
13. I get down for my grandfather who took my momma
    Made her sit that seat where white folks aint wanna us to eat
    At the tender age of 6 she was arrested for the sit in
    With that in my blood i was born to be different
14. if you’re feeling down and out
    tell him what you want
15. It’s getting cold in California
    I guess I’ll be leaving soon
16. She tells me when you’re whispering, she lies beside me naked – Aaron
17. I wanna be the knife that cuts into my hand
18. It was just a man with something to prove
    Slightly bored and severely confused – Aaron
19. You’ll follow me back
    With the sun in your eyes
    And on your own
20. I’m finding my way back to sanity again – Melissa (close enough)
21. I have seen things that you will never see.
22. Whiskey’s too rough, champagne costs too much, vodka puts my mouth in gear
    This little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact…
23. I was a holy man but now
    With all my trials behind me
    I am weak in my conviction
24. But I don’t want to leave and see the teardrops in your eyes
25. They say they never really miss you until you’re dead or you’re gone
    so, on that note, I’m leaving after this song

Sometimes, Despite our best efforts, things still go wrong.

In response to Micah’s stupid church sign of the week, I’d like to point out one from a church I used to go to.

It appears that this sign has also be taken to be used at Church Sign Generator.

Apple and Motorolla have announced a deal to make a cell phone that will integrate with iTunes. I assume it will also sync with my Powerbook (which my SE T610 does now) and working with Salling Clicker.

I’ll be at the front of the line for one of these.

I was also thinking today, I’d be at the front of the line to buy an Apple tablet PC.
