What a great summer for concerts in Atlanta. First The Flaming Lips and Sufjan Stevens announce they will be here in September, and now Tom Waits on August 1 at the Tabernacle.
I can’t find tickets on sale yet. I would sell a pinky to see a Tom Waits show. He hasn’t toured since 2000, when John and I drove from Philly to Boston to see him.
Just purchased two tickets to Clap Your Hands Say Yeah at the Variety!
I think I’m the only one of my friends who is excited about this show. Surely someone will go with me.
Pictures. They’ve both grown since you saw them Buzz (I guess it’s nearly 2 years ago now!)

1. An entire week off.
2. Christmas dinner, Christmas cookies, Christmas candies, Christmas alcoholic beverages.
4. Decorating the house with lights. If they’re up any other time of year, you just look lazy.
5. Being with the family and then going out Christmas night with your friends.
6. Trying to put little fake reindeer ears on pets.
7. Christmas Eve, when there’s nothing left to do but look at the lit and decorated tree.
8. Christmas morning with coffee and presents.
9. Still getting toys even though you’re 27 years old.
10. Watching TNT’s 24-hour marathon of A Christmas Story.
Today I was at Microsoft in Reading (pronounced “Red-ing”, don’t laugh, I’ve heard Americans pronounce it “Reed-ing”, lol) for a seminar on Visual Studio .NET 2005. Stop reading if you are not a techie, you’ve been warned.
Ok, so maybe its not here. but I already know what I’m getting a certain someone for Xmas this year.
Leslie may hate Urban Outfitters, but even she will have to admit that this is just plain awesome.
Empire released its top 50 Indie Films recently, and even had the guts to rank them. Here’s my thoughts on what they chose. The ones I’ve seen are bolded.
This post is dedicated to Mr. Koster, with whom I had a long conversation not too long ago about NASA’s use of its resources. He felt that federal money spent by NASA was being wasted. I disagreed. NASA’s exploration is necessary for the advancement of science and knowledge in America, I argued.
And now I have proof. NASA has developed a skin for robots that will “enable robots to sense their environment and react to it,” just like humans do. That’s pretty neat. They built a robot to demonstrate how the skin works. That’s pretty neat, too.
But the proof that NASA is spending its money wisely lies in the fact that they chose to make this video of a ballerina dancing with the space robot:

Here’s the link to the actual story on NASA’s website:
Goddard Technologist Proposes Sensitive Skin Covering for Robots
While the skin is really cool, the person who came up with the shape of the demonstration robot is brilliant.
NASA is necessary, Koster. Quod erat demonstrandum.
I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to stay interested in posting to this blog format for any length of time. But this post marks my 100th post.
Each and every post has been pure quality, too.
Yeah right.
In honor of the 100th post, here is this little annoying thing that is going around, which assigns a monetary value to your site, based on the links and references to it, indexed by Technorati:

How much is your blog worth?
