"The cutest buns in Cincinnati: And they're off! Team Mustard
takes a commanding lead in the Running of the Wieners as a tomato
condiment challenger tries to ketchup." [ from SF Gate ]
So here's my problem with Vox. It wins incredible points for community building, and encouraging a regular amount of blogging from its users... but it falls apart for me because I'm a horrible at regular blogging.
Regular blogging in this case, is what blogging has become in the past few years. Many of the people I consider 'good' bloggers are quickly becoming something resembling journalists. Writing stories, cracking leads, actually becoming... interesting.
Of course, for me, the net result is when I think about blogging, I think that I need to be coherent, articulate, and informative. Well that just seems like WAY too much effort, so I'm going back to our roots. Back in the day blogging was things like links.net; a running train of thought, a log of someone's online web presence. It occurs to me that REALLY active online, just not here on Vox. There's a community here that I keep track of, and occasionally comment on, but I'm also on Flickr, and Twitter, and any number of different places. What I realised I needed, was a place to pull them all into one space.
Enter my Tumblog, no it's not always coherent, occasional cryptic, but it is strikes me as the perfect way to pull all my separate online lives into one by aggregating all my separate 'personal' RSS feeds into one site. Yes, I'm still going to occasionally use Vox, but I'm also going to use Del.icio.us, Flickr, Google notebook, Twitter, or any other number of things online, not one of them is a whole of who I am though. Tumblr may be as close as I get in this place though.

hi. i hesitate to tell you this, my good friend, but i will continue anyway. when i was 19, and windows 95 was released, i ran down to the university book store and purchased a copy PLUS a copy of Windows 95 Plus™ solely based on the experience of playing a 5-minute game of MS Pinball. Truth. I am a whore.
Audio: Share your favorite track from a live album.

Can I just pick an entire album? If your only experience to Fleetwood Mac is hearing Dreams or Little Lies on scratchy car radios, hearing what they sound like live might blow your mind. People forget how huge they were back in the day, and that they were huge for very good reasons.
I have two Flickr Pro accounts, lia and liabulaong. The former is for photos from my cameraphone, where things are posted within a minute or so of being taken; the latter is from photos from any other camera, and I post them at any date and out of sequence. I kept putting off merging my old school Flickr accounts into Yahoo until today because I suspected they wouldn't let me associate two Flickr users with one Yahoo account. Sure enough, it looks like I have to create a new Yahoo account. Just what I need in my life, to create another email address I will never ever check. I love Flickr, but this sucks.
(Jarvis will also have to create a Yahoo account to get into his Flickr account. He's bad enough about responding to email as it is! Oh well, at least his homepage is spiffy and new for the year 2007...)

Yesterday, Chico was kind enough to let me fill in for him at the Drunken Smartass Olympics. Here's the audio round; all songs have whistling in them. I was looking for each song's artist.
