Megamix: 1987 Flashback Medley Parts 1 & 2

DJ Shooter posted a two-part 1987 Flashback Megamix, download-able in 2 parts. Since they were made to be one complete mix, I just edited them together.

I don't think I did that great of a job. I did a slight cross-fade since the beats really didn't match up. I am sure if I spent more than 15 minutes on it I could have done a better job. But for a blog post, that's as good as it gets from me.

Enjoy the flashback!

Megamix: Relax - The 80s Megamix

This post was inspired by a post Julia's Club 80's blog. She passed 10K visits to her website, and to celebrate presented several 80s megamixes.

One of the mixes was titled "Relax - The Ultimate 80s Megamix." I thought I knew exactly what this mix would be, but when I looked at the tracks, something was wrong. None of the tracks matched the megamix that I had called "Relax - The 80s Megamix."

So I dug through my iPod and found it. Turns out the one I had was mis-titled and is really a "remix" of FGTH's "Relax" which features some other 80s songs, and was produced by remix powerhouse DMC. A great mix, enjoy!

Remix: Do Re Mi

Ran across this whilst browsing my data CD collection. Don't know the story behind it, but it is a lot of fun!

Mash-up: Push It Fergisonic

DJ Axel has a great new mash that pretty much reveals (not that she ever denied it) that Fergie's "Fergielicious" was little more that a mash-up of "SuperSonic" and "Give It All You Got."

On Vox, and having more than one blog

This post started as a reply to Jennifer's post on having a domain'd blog and a vox blog...

I am an old school blogger and still have a blog outside of Vox, but it has a niche focus and I really have nothing there I want posted here (and vice versa

I use Vox for music, personal rants and such (things I did at my other blog at one time, when blogging was new and you could stay connected with other bloggers). At vox, there is more of a sense of community (something that got lost at my other blog as the net grew and grew, and caused me to re-focus it - leaving out the personal touch).

Not that you should do the same, just that I find value in separating myself from my domain'd blog, and to me vox allows me to get to know folks better - at my domain, I feel like I am speaking to myself.

Funny, I started out on a hosted blog (Blogger), went to a blog tool (several actually) on my own domain, and now I am back on a hosted blog. Everything old is new again?

Regardless, even though I don't blog (here) as much as I did back in the day (domain'd blog), I like the "feel" of Vox much better that when I was blogging in a vaccum. Like I said before, Vox reminds me of when blogging was new, and you were friends with other bloggers.

So, that's how I feel. Now, let's get to know each other!

Expo Television - Video Reviews of EVERYTHING!

Expo Television (expotv.com) is a really fun site where real people upload vide reviews of everything under the sun. I always read reviews before I buy anything, and it takes time. But a video review is fast and to the point Oohkay, some ramble, some are silly). There is not much that I can clip as Clipmarks does not support this site yet. Still the site is informative and fun, check it out.

Hallmark MC Hammer card

I started to wonder why the guy is so OLD in the commercial, then I remembered, oh yeah, I'm 40 too - sheesh, time flies!

Here's the original "U Can't Touch This" - wonder if they re-shot it for the commercial, or used computers....

Flat Pens for your back pocket

Patrick has a rundown of several compact pens, some are even flat. I am needing one to slip in my back pocket with my Molskine.

David Seah has a nifty review of the Gippa flat pens (ttp://davidseah.com/archives/2006/11/14/flat-pens-revisited/), which would be perfect for me.

clipped from patrickrhone.com Ubiquitous Capture and The Steathy Pen One of the main tenants of the GTD methodology is the idea of ubiquitous capture. That is, a way to always get that stuff you have floating around your noggin out of it and into a trusted system that will allow you to evaluate it later. For many, having a pen to write stuff down with at constant disposal is the easiest, quickest and most cost effective solution for this. Problem is, most pens are better designed for the shirt pocket than, say, any other pocket that you more regularly have available in this increasingly casual society. That being said, here is a rundown of some stealthy pens that can fit in all manner of other places so that you are never without a way to jot down that next great idea (or just an addition to your honey-do list):

And as a companion to this LH post, Marc Orchant at Office Evolution has a nice write-up on it also ( http://blogs.zdnet.com/Orchant/?p=455 ). I know this is old news, but I need to save this for future reference on my laptop!
