While waiting for CSI to come on, I saw an episode of Big Brother 3. I figured it was time for another round of my game, "DUDE, SHE'S NUDE!"
To KaZaa I went, typed in one of the girls' names from the show and "Big Brother" and waddyaknow... PAYDIRT!
SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO AMY HOW A CAMERA WORKS
There's more pictures from Kazaa but this just illustrates the power of the internet and file sharing technologies. Napster thinks they're going to make a comeback? Bullshit. It's not about MP3s anymore... it's about JPG, MPG, MP4, AVI... and everything else that pirated footage can be compressed into.
"Dude, She's Nude" was illustrated in a log I wrote earlier this year. You can find it in the "search" page I added tonight. It works okay, after tweaking a-plenty. People who've asked me about blogs/columns written on specific topics can now do a search for those now.

Probably some of the most moving radio/television programming on right now is the replaying of footage from September 11, 2001. I never cried in the aftermath of the event, but found myself tearing up while listening to the rebroadcast of the Howard Stern Show (broadcast from New York) from 9/11 this morning. The shock, the questions, the unknown, and the sheer horror of not knowing how many planes were going to dive from the sky.
I remember waking up on a sunny day. My girlfriend had just left for work, I grabbed a granola bar and headed back to bed to watch some television.
I turned on the TV and, like most men, didn't let the TV even warm up before turning the channels in rapid succession. I started to get a sickening feeling when all channels were showing the same scene... a building on fire. I stopped turning the channel just in time to see the second plane crash into one of the towers.
My blog was active during those times and I began writing about the attack (and other things, trying to keep some sense of normalcy). You can click on the Archives above and click on the date ranges on 9/11 and after, or your can click HERE for the compilation of those blogs.
MSNBC's "9/11 Remembered" < Good page for the day. Check out the "Facts After 9/11" on the left of the page.

"I don't get it."
For those of you who haven't seen "I AM SAM," it's about a retarded guy who works at Starbucks and turns out to be the smartest person behind the counter.
In other news, the #1 reason I'm not going to see my radio idol Phil Hendrie at the end of this month? Lack of funds. Am I bitter? yup.
In addition to "I Am Sam," I also watched "A Beautiful Mind," which is the true story of Russell Crowe's personal battle with schizophrenia, which would explain his penchant for bar room brawls.
