The Beastie Boys’ Adam Yauch died of throat cancer last week. Always some cruel twist of fate for a rapper. See The DOC of NWA & DMC of Run-DMC. We knew him as MCA. (Sheesk. This post already has more acronyms than a text message between 13-year old girls transcribing an FDA compliance manuel. BTW. […]

BREAKTHROUGH
That’s the theme of tomorrow’s TEDxGreenville. It might also be what I do to this picture frame window to my right if this week doesn’t end soon. I present third, in the first afternoon session, immediately after lunch. I have between 8-10 minutes to perform a song, explain the entire evolutionary history of recorded music, […]

G.I.
I’m getting backed up. Wait, that didn’t sound right. A terrible tragedy of a high school shooting in OH, yesterday. Couldn’t get to it last night. Plus, Michigan and Arizona Republican primaries. Hopefully, one or both this evening. The good folks over at CriminalJusticeDegreesGuide.com shared this link with me. A list of the all-time top […]

SOPA winds up being pretty close-to-home-hitting. If you haven’t heard, there is a bill before Congress to give additional law enforcement powers in order to police intellectual property piracy on the internet. Think going to jail for your beach trip YouTube slide show set to Billy Joel’s “These Are the Times to Remember.” On Wednesday, […]
Bed Rest
I can’t seem to shake this head cold and have completely lost my voice, which greatly puts in jeopardy my Thanksgiving song. There’s still some chance I can post by Friday. It’s a rare thing to find Huckleberry Spins so speechless. In the meantime, me and my quill pen remain relegated to the bed, studiously […]
Give and Take
Steve Jobs passed this week. I don’t need to fill you in on his story. He’s an accepted technological genius of our time. Apple’s products have changed the way we live our lives. I’m not an Apple or Jobs worshiper but our family has nearly the entire product line, in various specs, and has been […]
2011 NFL iPreview
It’s not my fault that the Republicans debated and the POTUS presented to Congress his jobs’ plan the same week as the NFL resumed “work.” I had a choice to stay faithful to the original purpose of this site and cover the week’s politics or I could do an NFL preview and drive traffic. Go […]
Update
I have been a little under the weather but am preparing for two features this week. Stay tuned.
Sorry
To all the people whose attachment to their pets I had trouble understanding, I owe an apology. Our cat was killed this weekend. Not sure if it was a dog or a coyote or a raccoon or what. Half an indictment of the tragedy-free life I’ve led and half a tribute to the special place […]
