My 13 month old nephew has just posted a picture of himself taking his first steps on his blog. (He’s so smart… just like his uncle… oh, and his parents too.) Next comes the Nike contract! Maybe we can get some of that freed-up Kobe money. 😉

Jazz for Your Azz
I’ve mentioned J-Notes before in one of my posts but here goes another shameless plug. I love jazz music but I rarely buy it because of a lack of information and/or reviews. J-Notes has solved that problem for me. It’s chock full of great jazz (and some R&B) information. So if you like jazz I… Continue reading Jazz for Your Azz

Here’s some of what’s… Continue reading Tribe.net… A Better Friendster

You can check out the song and video here. I still prefer the original though. OK, I just… Continue reading Kraftwerk’s Tour De France 2003
More Stars in the Universe than Grains of Sand on Earth???
I find this very had to believe – there are ten times more stars in the universe than grains of sand on Earth. Astrobiology Magazine points out just how large this estimated number of stars is: Such large numbers–seven times ten raised to twenty-twenty powers–are beyond what is meaningful without an analogy to compare with… Continue reading More Stars in the Universe than Grains of Sand on Earth???
