This guy has an infectious and unassuming glee to his music that immediately wins you over, but which is also clearly the tears of a clown. Jones lyrics hint of a sadness darker than a moonless ocean midnight, but remain iced with his chortling, and one might say rapier, wit. [Dan Jones and] "The Squids currently play shows in support of Get Sounds Now , released on Daily Records in late 2005. Dan has been adding to his omnibus of americana/punk tales since 2000, when he self-released his acclaimed, off-the-cuff For Your Radio. ("Any given verse of his songs packs more wit than a roomful of singer-songwriters could muster in a month of open mikes," said The Willamette Week then)."

Saturday Night Live transcripts
Last week Alec Baldwin hosted SNL and did the Tony Bennett show. It was great, really blue ribbon stuff, fa-a-a-antastic. I found a transcript site.

Twitter??
I just joined a "keep in contact" type of site started by the odeo.com people. Ostensibly, anyone I call my friend can text my phone via their phone or the web and I can receive it via web or phone. I can see how it might be very useful to people who need to keep in constant contact, or for someone trying to coordinate the actions of several people at once, like an operator for a large phone system or messaging system. I'm sure there are other applications. I'll see how it works out for me. Coincidentally, I learned about a "service" called treasure trooper. you can make money by filling out surveys and participating in market research.
