Wed, 8 November 2006 MP3 DIRECTLINKToday, join me on my delivery route and experience the joys and frustrations along the way. I recorded the days deliveries on the iRiver, so you get to hear the recipients reactions. The album art included (I hope I did it correctly) was something I found via YOTOPHOTO which is a database of public domain photos. This particular photo is wrong and freaky on SO many levels. Enjoy. If you have any questions or comments about the background music which I used please email me, and I'll give you the link to the artist (who would love it is you purchased an album or two, or one of his trippy DVDs).

Fri, 3 November 2006 MP3 DIRECTLINKToday I'm feeling a bit random. I chat mostly about my C-Band Satellite dish and my happiness that it's finally cold enough for it to work again. With access to some form of TV, I might be able to chit-chat with my coworkers about the latest episode of whatever. Check out PBS on monday 11/6 for a show about life (American Experience??) in the Gold Country, filmed where I live and work. Also, my Kiwi Friend Luigi is doing a podcast now. So, here's the shownotes: Intro Luigi has a Podcast! Chit Chat about my TV reception Kerry is an idiot latest church scandal Um....thats it I think. DUH!! Luigi Cappel has a new song out called "Mr Bush Why Can't We Be Friends"....you can hear it at his MusicForte site. Here's what Luigi has to say about his new song in an email: "The background is that 20 or so years ago our country voted to ban nuclear powered and armed ships from our ports. That had nothing to do with our feelings of friendship with the USA, we have always been friends, but we have a democracy and pride ourselves on being clean and green (most of the time) and the only things nuclear in New Zealand are for cancer treatment and research in hospitals. Anyway, as a consequence, the United States decided that we were no longer friends of the US. They banned us from ANZUS, which was our local defence treaty, stopped allowing us to participate in defence training, denied us free trade agreements, shut us out from most military intelligence and in effect all but shut the door on us. Things have thawed a little recently. We have been allowed to participate in 3 defence training programs and recently 17 New Zealand soldiers were given US Medals of Honor for service in Afghanistan. Other than that, we are still not friends. So. I think its about time this stopped, so I wrote a song to protest about it and to try to get people aware of this. As the song says, "Our men fought along with yours on a dozen foreign shores". Why does New Zealand have to look to the likes of China for a Free Trade Agreement?" Take a listen folks.
