Cool software alert

This neat little Winamp add-on, EvilLyrics, uses Google to automatically look up the lyrics of any song you're listening to. It actually works, even on my obscure Brazillian music.

Sweet vindication

Both Andrea and I won two awards each from the Peninsula Press Club for work we did at the Business Journal last year, only weeks before getting laid off. Believe me, I'm making sure all of my old editors know.

This will be Andrea's second straight double-win from the PPC.

I'm glad somebody said this

Byrd blasts Bush for 'flamboyant showmanship' with carrier speech

Now more than ever, I wish this man were my senator.

My favorite parts:

"Last week, the White House had said that such a landing was necessary because the carrier would have been too far out for a helicopter landing. In fact, the carrier was close enough to the California coast for a helicopter landing."

And

"Byrd, who has been a persistent and vocal critic of Bush's policies toward Iraq, said a "salute" to America's warriors was appropriate, but he added, "I do question the motives of a desk-bound president who assumes the garb of a warrior for the purposes of a speech."
