Pepsi '07
October 1, 2007

For the fourth year in a row, Pepsi is running a fall "every hour" contest... we shall see whether my luck continues. This year Pepsi is giving away two 32" LCD TVs and three Xbox 360 Core systems each day. And for some reason, they've removed the limitation that you can only enter once an hour. This year, you can enter as many times an hour as you'd like. Not only that, they've removed the restriction that you can only win once. Crazy!

Deliriou5?
September 18, 2007

I was reminded today of the band "Deliriou5?", originally an import from the UK by my big sister Rebekah when I was still in high school. Their music was a huge inspiration to me back in the day, centered around the album "King of Fools". We also listened to their earlier albums which were labelled "Cutting Edge", and when I visited Rebekah in Scotland in the summary of 1999, I paid a decent wad of cash for their "Mezzamorphis" album. This new album left me feeling a bit cold and estranged, and I've never really reconnected with their music. It was interesting to come across the Wikipedia article for the band today and read about their various albums, the wider criticism they received for "Mezzamorphis", and what they've done since. It brought back lots of really fond memories.
