Another share of one of my MP3s. I set up a new one once a week and give you seven days to check it out. After that it will be gone and replaced by a new selection. Please don't link to this. Just click on the link and save it. For this week:

Snow Patrol"Hands Open" or you can try here too!

This week I've posted another track from Snow Patrol's 2006 album called "Eyes Open". The album was bought by most people for the tune "Chasing Cars". This is the track called "Hands Open". Snow Patrol are from Northern Ireland but got together as students in Scotland. If you like Cold Play, or Killers then Snow Patrol will appeal to you. They have been compared to both groups but I think they have a better sound. For more info check out Snow Patrol at their official site. Hope you enjoy this one.

Here's a cute cartoon from last week's Rhymes With Orange. I can sympathize with the poor guy! Thank goodness my first name wasn't Ford. Poor Als' parents weren't so kind. I got a good chuckle when I saw it. How about you?

It has now been 7 years since my first blog entry.
August 16th 2002
The proof is in the history sidebar, just a click away. When I started I had grand plans and high hopes for this blog. It quickly turned into just a public bookmark site of things that caught my fancy. And now, I also use it to display my weird eclectic taste in music. I get just enough feedback to keep me motivated. If you like they way things are let me know. If you don't, tell me too. We'll find out how much longer this can go on.

I wrote this last year and I still feel the same. Do you?

Free Printable sounds a bit odd but actually it’s just a network of about 49 sites that offer free printable — STUFF. Like what? There’s free printable things for business, like business cards, time sheets, cash receipts, and resume templates. Available in Microsoft Word and sometimes PDF versions.
There are also more general templates, like 2009 and 2010 calendars, greeting cards, maps, and even tourney brackets. (Not just printable, but otherwise useful, is a simple little tool for easily making pie charts.) Home printables include chore charts, family tree templates, gift tags, and play money! And finally, kids get their own small section with printable dot-to-dots and coloring pages in different themes.
You didn’t have to register to download anything or provide an e-mail address — just agree to the terms of service. Check out Free Printables soon. Thanks to Researchbuzz.org for the headsup.

G Love "Ain't That Right" or you can try here too!

I haven't had a lot of time to prepare, so here is just a quick share:
Since G Love will be at the Molson_Amphitheatre on August 15th (along with Jason Mraz!) I chose to share this. I'm sure most of his songs will be from "Superheros Brother" as he is billed with "Special Sauce". But, G Love released "G Love's Lemonade" in August 2006. I've been playing it every since. This track, I'm sharing with you "Ain't That Right" is one of my favorites. It's not new anymore but worth the price if you see the album. Check it out. You'll be glad you did.
