Historical Meatballs
It’s scary when you find two year old Italian Food in your refrigerator.

New Stalker Tools
I’ve signed up for a neat dual purpose service called AudioScrobbler. Essentially, it tracks every song you play on your local machine, uploads them to their server and builds a musical profile of your taste. They then use that information to sell to record companies to help them market their new music to the appropriate listeners. They do that through a great little radio station tied in called last.fm which, once you have a nice profile built up it really does a great job of introducing you to new music that doesn’t drive you completely nuts.

An Interesting Debate
There is a great discussion going on over at the Beckner - Posner Blog (the dueling University of Chicago Professors) about ways to solve the illegal immigration problem including one of the best ideas I’ve never thought of: charge for admittance.
Given these realities of free immigration, the best alternative to the present quota system is an ancient way of allocating a scarce and popular good; namely, by charging a price that clears the market.

Feeds are Back
Thanks to the excellent help of the guys over at WordPress, the feeds are back. Besides this little set back, 1.5 is a great product. The theme system alone is enough to make it worth while. I’m still evaluating looking at a .NET product, such as DasBlog, so that I would be in a better position to edit the system, but for the time being I’m shelving any conversion for the time being.

Le Corbeau
Le Corbeau I’m unforgivably late on this post. However, my step-father, Mark Price, has a play about Edgar Allen Poe entitled Le Corbeau that is currently being produced here in Oklahoma City by the Oklahoma City Community College.
It is a bizarre and poignant tale of Poe’s last days when he is visited by those he has loved and lost along with, for good measure, the devil. It is an ambitious project that I’ll be extremely happy to see performed.

My New Lunch Box
Ain’t Capitalism grand? I found this lunch box on the Internet and just had to have it. For those youngsters out there, that’s Vladimir Lenin, founder of the old Soviet Union.

New Blog of Note
My friend Peter, owner of PowTen.com, has a new blog called RomanOkie.com where he will post about all things religious and specifically Catholic. My own nasty opinions on religion aside, Peter is a thoughtful and contemplative man of faith who practices Christianity without the stink of irony so common today. It should be a good read and something to add to your blog rolls.
What Beautiful Music I get at Work
James, the Network and System Administrator here at the office has an fabulous singing voice. Here’s a little short clip I recorded on my phone. Sorry for the poor sound quality.
