Frisky Dingo

I mentioned the adult swim show Frisky Dingo back in November after I saw two episodes and noted how funny it was. Well, the season's ended (13 episodes) and althought it's certainly not for everyone, I have to recommend it.
Watch a few interview snippets with the main character, Killface, for an idea of what this show is like.
Episodes are on iTunes, xbox live marketplace, and youtube for all you webbed kids out there. Enjoy.

Unrestricted Digital Music Sales = $

I read a story in the New York Times a couple of days ago that said some of the major labels are considering selling unrestricted MP3s online.

Seems to me it's a no-brainer. The major labels had unbelievable success the last time they decided to sell digital music without a padlock. They're called CDs.

You never know who you'll meet on the subway

If you keep your eyes peeled in New York, you're sure to meet some really interesting people. I was half-way to the office Tuesday morning and noticed Jack McBrayer sitting across the way. He plays Kenneth the page on 30 Rock. He's an actor that a few of us have really been enjoying in recent years. He was also in Talladega Nights.

I introduced myself and told him how much I enjoy the program and that judging from IMDB we were both born in Macon, Georgia. We had a quick chat before my stop came. He was very nice and patient with me. Turns out he's got family near mine in Georgia. Such a small world.

Castle In The Clouds

The long-awaited Ash Valley record is now available!

I'd heard bits and pieces before now but listening front to back is the way to experience the album. It's a thematically articulate, sonically complex record. Mortality, family, passion, regret, faith, sin & redemption.
This ain't Fergalicious, folks.


You can order it online at www.myspace.com/ashvalley. Just scroll down a bit 'til you see the album cover. The great thing is you're given two options to purchase. Order a physical CD using PayPal (it's easy), or download your tracks at Digstation if you just can't wait to hear it.

Runnin'

Every once in a while I get the urge to do something about my weight. I've tried excercising, eating sensibly, all the things people do, but nothing extreme. Each time, I trail off. Once I got injured and couldn't run for a while and once I healed I didn't start up again. Little things can really get a person off-track.

So, here I am, turning 30 in June, and I'd really like to get healthy. So, I've started eating better and I'm running in the mornings. I really enjoy running. I used to run every morning before high school, I think my sophomore year. It's great. I just got the nike+ system and I'm excited to use that to keep track of my running.

I've also found a couple of free websites that folks might find helpful. I know people have made resolutions and sometimes the smallest things can really help.

The first is fitday.com. You can track your activity and diet online there for free. It'll let you know how many calories you've consumed and how many you've burned in a day. You can also work toward a goal weight over a period of time and it'll track that too.

The second is mapmyrun.com. You enter a starting point on a google map and then mark the points in your run and it calculates the distance for you down to a tenth of a mile. I ran today and came back and mapped it and found out it was 1.8 miles. I had no idea I'd gone that far! I'll use the nike plus in the next couple days and probably post a brief review of that technology.
