Smoke on the Water, Japanese Style
April 26th, 2008Every so often you find something Japanese that you just scratch your head. This is one of them. A video of a Japanese traditional band playing Smoke on the Water. (Found on Japundit.com)
Learning about music the odd sort of way
April 10th, 2008A few months back my niece came to visit me in LA. She was going to a concert by a band called Mêlée. She played it for me and I enjoyed the music but didn’t get too excited by it.
Now, I ran across their Myspace page and found that they did a cover of Oingo Boingo’s Dead Man’s Party. As that is my number one song of all time, I was excited. So now I am a fan. You can check it out on their Myspace page. In the meanwhile here is their top video: “Built to Last”. You probably will enjoy it.

What the Flock?
February 29th, 2008I ran across a new web browser. I believe it is based on Firefox, but the cool thing about this browser is that it is designed around social networking. It is called Flock.
http://www.flock.com
I am just starting to get into it, but it is really cool if you use Facebook, Youtube, etc. It captures your login to a social networking site and saves it to the sidebar. It then allows you to see and click on the side bar on all of your friends across all of the sites.
It has a media bar, so if you are a member of Flickr, Photobucket, or Picasa, then you can see all of your photos in a browsable media bar across the top of the page.
It links with blogs, so if you are using Wordpress, you can blog right from Flock. Kind of cool if you want to blog a web page.
Lastly, it integrates with Social Bookmarking pages such as Del.icio.us so that you can have all of your bookmarks at the touch of a button.
There is probably a ton more that I haven’t discovered, but so far I am impressed. Impressed enough to let Firefox lose its position as the preferred browser on my computer…

Zen Habits Handbook
February 25th, 2008This is an ebook that I purchased this evening and I enjoyed reading it so much that I wanted to share it with our readers.
It is the Zen Habits Handbook for Life by Leo Babauta. Some of it crosses over into Feng Shui, such as decluttering, but a lot of it are valuable life habits that we should all strive to adopt. I am still rereading it and have found it to be quite valuable in refocusing my priorities in life.
If you are looking to make improvements in your life and take the small steps necessary to improve, then I recommend you purchase this inexpensive life guide. At $6.95 it is worth every cent.
