I’m listening to Go Tell It On The Mountain right now, and it’s a great Christmas CD. Great guests, including Tom Waits, Robert Randolph, Richard Thompson, and John Medeski.

Insound Top 100 of 2004
I’m amazed at the number of artists in the Insound Top 100 of 2004 that I’m not familiar with. Just looking at the top 20, there are 10 artists I’ve never heard of. Apparently, I’m not listening to nearly enough music.
Fun iMix
The Heyday of WLIR — Here’s another great iTunes playlist with way too many songs on it. Lots of stuff I remember from the 80s and 90s. I heard most of this stuff on WHTG, not WLIR, but apparently they had very similar playlists.
Star Wars Stuff
N.J. Town Balks As Man Plans Giant ‘Star Wars’ Model
I don’t see any good reason why this guy shouldn’t be allowed to build a giant sandcrawler in his yard.
Hello Kitty Robot
This Hello Kitty Robot is cute, but probably not worth $3700.
Spider-Man SpinBrushes
Check out this eBay page. Everybody needs a Spider-Man toothbrush, autographed by Stan Lee, right? (The text on this page was apparently written by my brother Mike, by the way.)
Apple Store – Bridgewater
There’s a new Apple Store in the Bridgewater Commons. It just seems to have popped up out of nowhere. I don’t recall ever seeing any “coming soon” sign up or anything. Then again, I’m not spending that much time at the mall. It’s one of the new “mini” stores.
Jamie and Sue’s Anniversary
Well, I just posted the pictures from Jamie and Sue’s 10th Anniversary party. They came out OK, but not great. I didn’t do much image processing on them; just rotated a couple of sideways pictures, and cropped a couple of them. I should probably go back in and do some red-eye reduction, at least. I’m really not motivated to do that right now, though. I also noticed that, somehow, I don’t seem to have gotten a single picture of Gene. Oh well. Maybe next time!
Meanwhile, I’m hanging out here watching the Giants lose to the Eagles. At least T.O. hasn’t gotten any points yet.
New Camera
I bought a Minolta Dimage Z10 this weekend. I used it to take a bunch of pictures at my friend’s anniversary party yesterday, and it seems to have worked well. I’ll post the pictures later.
