Like everyone I often mark news items and blog post that I want to follow-up on but unless I do it within 12 hours its unlikely I’ll ever get to it. Since the exception proves the rule, I offer two exceptions.
The first is a report put out by our Cannuck friends at Solutions Research tantalizingly [...]

Last week I was inspired by the progress of my ultra-secret project to register a domain name for the project. Thats right my ultra-secret mission now has an ultra-secret domain name to go along with it. Anyway while I was getting things set-up I decided to register a vanity domain and upgrade my blog [...]

Or would you rather pay $15 but to hear a manufactured sex worker sing about playing with hers? Well, according to a two reports that came out last week, many Americans frequently indulge [...]

Variety has an interesting story about album sales dropping for the 7th year in a row. Interesting highlights from the story include the fact that “High School Musical” was last years top selling album and even worse it only sold 3.7 million units (both CD and digital).
