Downhere Is Up And Coming

Posted on by

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of hearing Downhere at a local venue. They are a group of Canadians with a great sound. The lead singer sounds so much like Kevin Max in some of their tracks that it’s uncanny. If I hadn’t see it live, I’d be tempted to put forth some sort of conspiracy theory…

You can actually hear their entire albumn So Much For Substitutes on the Downhere.com website. I personally really enjoyed their “In America” track, as well as others but that one is my favorite. :D

I give them:

Downsizing Ice Cream

No you won’t see your favorite ice cream flavors standing in line at the unemployment office, but what you might see is the bottom of container a little sooner. Premium ice cream brands are following Edy’s lead and reducing their “half gallon” size from 64oz to 56oz while keeping prices the same. This stealthily raises prices by 14% mostly in response to rising milk prices…

Waffle Hiz-ouse

This was orginially posted yesterday, but I had to take it down when i realized my site was being reviewed for inclusion in Google’s AdSense program…

There is currently a grass roots campaign to place John Kerry’s web site at the top of a Google search for ” Waffles “. Finding this to be hilarious, I have joined the cause and am adding a few Waffles links on my site to join my fellow web-loggers in “Google Bombing”. Google Bombing is when enough sites have links on them with a specific key word like Waffles which Google’s bots consider when creating the rank.

Next up a DOS attack against the RIAA for suing all those people! Oh just kidding, that would be mean (and it would require writing a virus to take over all those servers and personal computers — which really shoulds like a lot of work). And my lawyers tell me it’s probably e-legal ;)

Cute As A Puppy

I’ve been told that I need more pictures on the site. I’m trying to wait until we have the site fully up so that we’ll have photo albumns with built-in slide show technology and such, but to satiate the masses…. Here’s one that should have a high “aaaaaaawwww…” factor:
KC:


Here is my Dog KC last year when she was still a puppy. In this pic, she is triumphantly chewing on her old harness which she had outgrown. She has since outgrown the harness she is wearing in that pic and currently weighs in at a solid 52lbs. I expect her to top out around 57lbs.
