A little Friday humour

Now normally I try to keep my stuff on here original, but today I came across a funny "top 11" list here on the ways blogging is like sex. So since it's kind of funny and I've been rather boring on here lately enjoy:

11. At first, you’re just blogging once every week or two, but it’s not long before you’re doing it a couple of times a day.
10. A lot of kids fool around with blogs in high school but the serious blogging doesn’t start until college.
9. People really only have one good entry at a time, but will often fake multiple entries because they think it makes their readers happy.
8. It hurts when you’ve blogged and the next day your readers pretend like it never happened.
7. You know better than to blog when you’re drunk, but it’s just more fun, even if you do it with topics you wouldn’t have touched when you were sober.
6. The day after you’ve blogged drunk, you’ve got a lot of explaining to do to your regular readers.
5. Men blog like they’ve got an audience, but women like to keep it intimate.
4. You have to vary your technique once in a while, otherwise your readers will lose interest and you’ll drift apart.
3. When you first start to blog, you don’t ever have any long term readers but all you can ever think about is blogging. After a while, you do find some regular readers, but then blogging becomes a chore and you start to feel guilty if it’s been a while.
2. Most people blog at night, in the privacy of their own homes, but there’s always some jackass strutting around bragging that he prefers to blog in the office at lunch or at the local park.
1. Everyone knows that if he ever did in fact blog in his office or in the park, he was alone and just blogging into his palm.

Who needs tv, I have radio!

Without having TV I've found that I tend to listen to the radio a lot more than I ever have. But it seems that with my continuous progress towards becoming an old man I'm no longer really listening to music on the radio.

When I first moved to Minneapolis I found myself spending a lot of time listening to "The Current" which is probably one of the best music stations I have ever listened to. It's part of the Minnesota Public Radio network and features the most eclectic selection of good music you will ever come across. Basically, if an artist is getting a lot of play you might hear the same song more than twice in a week.

But in the past few months I have moved away from even that station. Now I'm listening to news/talk radio almost all the time. I've even been listening to financial shows, auto shows and cooking shows! For some reason they are all very compelling and enjoyable to listen to. As it is every day when I get home from work I turn on the radio and just listen while I check email, cook and do pretty much anything else until I turn it off, usually when I go to bed.

The funny part about all this is that listening to MPR, which is part of the National Public Radio network, through the late evening I find myself listening to radio shows from Canada and England rather than the US. There's an hour or two of CBC programing which is followed by BBC until probably 1:00 am. Maybe it's just me but I find it rather ironic that a large portion of the "National" radio broadcast is from other nations. But I'm not complaining, I'd rather listen to news/talk from Canada and England rather than conservative Christian radio.

Away for a while

Sorry for the lack of posts lately but I've been busy getting ready for a couple of job interviews over the next two weeks. So with that in mind I would just like to point out the current weather map of the US. Notice the temperature where I am? Notice the temperature in LA?

All I have to say now is "Ha ha!"

I'll try to post more when I get back to the frozen north.
