Things I found online that I wanted to share, usually with a small bit of commentary.

  • Soterios Johnson Won’t Stop Dancing Through My Head

    This song has been stuck in my head all day. Curse you, Jeff Chiu!

  • Financing a Record with Free

    It’s inspiring to see people breaking out of the box and coming up with truly creative ways to use free content as part of a business model. Free culture makes for better business—just not for the crusty middlemen. Definitely check out Georgia Wonder. Both during store hours and after the store closes each night, they’ll…

  • The Secret Behind Pumpkin Pie

Only the correct order will allow the tower to grow to its full height. There’s not too…

  • Flyleaf Music Video: “Sorrow”

    Flyleaf released a music video for their song, “Sorrow.” I think it’s really good, and not just because it has Lacey Mosley in it. Vote for it on TRL here.
