I watched Shooter last night. Besides a few badly done slow-motion-macho-manly-walking scenes, it’s a pretty good flick. The titles at the end had this awesome blues song that I had to Google. It’s called ‘Nasty Letter’ by Otis Taylor. The man has an interesting history. He left music in the 70’s to become an antique […]

I started work on this at 4pm and it’s now 2am. It’s called FEEDJIT and it’s a little experiment. If you like it go ahead and install it. A few minutes after I post this it should be in the sidebar of this blog. Mark.
