sometimes the lyrics just fit my mind perfectly.

Guster – Come Downstairs and Say Hello from the album Keep It Together Dorothy moves to click her ruby shoes Right in tune with dark side of the moon Someone, someone could tell me Where I belong Be calm, be brave, it’ll be okay No more messing around and living underground And new year’s resolutions […]

The Who – I’m Free I’M FREE-I’m free, And freedom tastes of reality, I’m free-I’m free, AN’ I’m waiting for you to follow me. If I told you what it takes to reach the highest high, You’d laugh and say ‘nothing’s that simple’ But you’ve been told many times before Messiahs pointed to the door […]

People change, times change, interests change

Who wants a file archive? I started this thing, which I called UNNA, back in September of 2000. At the time, there had been a great collection of Newton software called NewtonMAD – however, some of it was warez and so it needed to be ‘cleaned up’.

Plus I got us tickets to Wicked which she really wants to see. I got a new wrist rest for my mouse which […]

OK, these are all of the sites that I use that are down right now

Penny Arcade Audioscrobbler has been screwed up since shortly after I signed up. MSN Messenger network is down! Good going Microsoft!
