Buying legal online music may be cheap, but it’s still a pain in the ass

I think this IM exchange pretty much says it all.

A mound of sugar… in your chili?!

I'm usually really good about checking out the nutritional informaiton of food before I put it in my shopping cart, but every once in a while, I'm tricked by the evil corporate folks who put bad ingredients in "good" places.

Case in point: A small box of Stagg Beef Chili. High in fiber? Check. Lots of protein? Check. More sugar than a Krispy Kreme donut or half a Snickers bar? Eegads!

Well, it's been the worst of times, it's been the best of times, to semi-quote those cliched novels. For those interested in my Lindy Hop and other dancing adventures, read on.

BLADAM has both full and summary feeds available

Hi there,

After noticing that most of my faithful readers who catch my blog via Bloglines and other feed readers are grabbing my summary feed, I wanted to make sure you all knew that I have a full-feed available as well. For those in the un-know, here's the difference:

- SUMMARY FEED: Contains the first paragraph or so of each entry.
Choose this if you'd just like to skim my entries and visit my site for the full shebang.
- FULL FEED: Contains the entire entry.
Great for those folks who'd rather read it all in their feed readers.

For the URLs (including one-click access to both my summary and full feeds for My Yahoo and Bloglines), please visit my blog's homepage at http://www.bladam.com/. You'll see the XML and other icons on the top left.

I am happy and flattered that 400-500 of you visit my blog each day via my site or my feeds! Thanks so much for reading

Store Wars: A very funny animation of good and evil (food)

Check out the video of Store Wars, featuring Obi Wan Cannoli and Darth Tater... and lots of laughs!

I actually have very mixed feelings about some of the "evils" it raises -- genetic engineering of plants and food irradiation in particular -- but on the whole, I do believe in supporting organic farming.

I think anyone'd be hard pressed to claim that they LIKE having lots of pesticides or antibiotics in their food. And, while this may be psychological, I do seem to prefer the taste of organic foods over the cheaper alternatives.

Anyway, all moralizing aside, do check out the video and I guarantee a good chuckle at the very minimum
