eWorld: quiet

It was time for a change, and I wasn't really feeling something with a lot of colors. This look probably won't last too long, but I think I like it for now. The intent is subdued and peaceful. Practically, it also widens up the content area, which was desperately needed.

what? comments?

On April 18, 1999, I wrote "Soon I'm going to enable replies to these posts (sort of a Slashdot like system), and then you'll be able to flame and taunt to your heart's content. Fun, fun, fun." It's now March, 2003. That means that I got things done right on time, as rantings now supports comments. Everyone else was doing it, so I figured there was no reason I shouldn't. Enjoy. I'm sure I'll be refining it a bit. If you click "Linkable URL" it'll give you view_post, and you'll find the comment button there.

the two guitar man's back

Rodney Branigan, the two-guitar playing uber-musician, is about to be back in LA. He has a show at the Cat Club on Wednesday night, and one at the LA Hard Rock (by the Beverly Center) on Thursday. That's all good and well, and everyone should definitely go check him out, but the real cool news is that Rodney's also going to be playing a set for our Campus Crusade meeting on Wednesday night. I'm excited.

stupid midterms

So right now I'm sitting in the Annenberg computer lab, studying for a midterm in COMM 201 (Communication as a Liberal Art). I can't help but think as I go through the study guide that I could just as easily have prepared for this midterm right now without ever going to class. Maybe I'm wrong, and maybe I'll do awful on it, but I can't help but feel that's not the case, and it really is that easy.

1st Anniversary of whatsplaying logging

So a couple days ago was a year since I started logging song plays to whatsplaying. In that time I've listened to 2,195 different songs. The count right now is at 9,156 plays. The most times I've listened to one song is 19, so that's definitely spreading around the wealth. Only 113 songs have been played 10 or more times. On the other hand, though, 604 songs have only been played once. Although, considering I have 2,621 songs on my computer, that's still better than nothing (yeah, that's 426 songs left out in the cold). Here's to stats...
