useless miscellany changes

I'm changing the layout of the site ever so slightly (again) to using the Radio categories as true sub-sites to the main (or in Radio-ese: home) page.  The corresponding 'interest' sidebar items will be re-located to the appropriate category sub site in hopes of cleaning up the front page a bit.  NO more posts to the Home page *and* Categorie pages at the same time.

Of course, this only impacts those who actually visit the site in situ.  If you're interested in catching posts in your aggregator to books, music, or movies - I'm planning on setting up seperate syndication files for these sub-topics in the near future.  I'll post when they're ready.

NPR : Guitarist/Songwriter John Mayer

"The 24-year-old guitarist delivers a smoother, more smoldering sound than your average rocker -- in fact, you could say his music is for squares."

I'm a square then... If you haven't given this young gentleman a listen to yet then *DO*  it.   I've love that 'smooth, soldering sound' as described in the NPR interview linked above.  The tension in Mayer's music is just incredible.

I first heard Why Georgia about a month ago on DirecTV's DMX 'Progressive' channel (an excellent source for new music BTW) and No Such Thing on our local Clear Channel station over the weekend.  Hopefully, this 24 year old's emminent success won't spoil him too much.  Lot's of clips and a couple of videos (for those w/ large pipes) on the official website johnmayer.com

markpasc's Kit and Radio's News Aggregator

"At that point, though, I'd seriously consider making it its own tool! (Besides which, I'd like to write another news aggregator engine that scanned, you know, not all at once and whatnot. And didn't double-decode.)"

Marc comptemplates some ideas to improve on Radio's News Aggregator by creating a new engine or perhaps improving Kit's built-in news aggregator functions.

Got through about half of this this morning... pretty interesting discussion on the similarities between cities and blogs.  Listen to it at the TNC link above.

Hey You Guys

"It is, I think, an asset to be content with small things..."

The angrynerd comtemplates small joys.  The romantic in me has to agree.
