My friend over at Porch Dog likes Sarah Palin, but for all the wrong reasons. I like her as well. Also for all the wrong reasons. It made everyone I know duck at the ball thrown from left field. It made a jump in the search and news reference for the word “maverick”. And it made me laugh a little. Unfortunately, if I’m honest with myself, I view this the same way I viewed the Biden pick. This is a political move to get more voters. I thought that about Obama and I think it now about McCain. But that’s politics right? Every move is orchestrated in the hopes to get the most votes. The ultimate popularity contest. I think America might be getting too good at it. Porch Dog (from here on out referred to as Porchy) is right when he says the democrats are about to make a fool of her. I just hope it’s not so bad that her other qualities don’t redeem her.
Keeping with the music theme I ran across some free MP3′s from Amazon earlier today. There is some random stuff in there but with 3200+ songs I’m sure you can find something. After all, the price is right. Check it out at Amazon’s site. My favorite so far is I was able to download the album A Sound Legacy: 60 Years of Folkways Records and 20 Years of Smithsonian Folkways for free. You can’t beat that! Enjoy.
Those not in the know still use Pandora to stream music over the internet. The cool kids on the block use Last.fm. In a sentence: Last.fm is better because it keeps track of the music I play on my ipod and on my computer and gives me statistics about that data too. Here is a leaked video of the 2.0 version of their app for the iPhone. Very cool stuff. This video will probably be taken down but you can check it out here for now.
