NetFlix
I finally took the bait with the free offer and tried out NetFlix, the online DVD movie service. I’m pleased to tell you that so far, so good. Their DVD’s arrive quickly in the mail, and you can get them right from your mailbox because there’s no extra packaging; just the disc itself inside a cover sleeve.
Plus the company is working on online delivery. I haven’t tried their online movie viewer yet, but they say it’s just a download player with a license that comes with your membership. I went with their 3-at-a-time unlimited plan [...]
2007 Dallas International Guitar Festival
The 30th Anniversary of the Dallas International Guitar Festival happened last weekend at Dallas Market Hall, and the show was awesome as always! There were acoustic and electric guitars, all kinds of amps, vintage gear, showcase and custom shop models, and lots of cool bass guitars.
Some really great players were there too! I saw Eric Johnson and Rocky Athas play last Saturday and they were both great.

Stormy Friday

BC loses Hart
Cartoonist Johnny Hart, whose award-winning “B.C.” comic strip appeared in more than 1,300 newspapers worldwide, died last Saturday while working at his home in Endicott, New York. He was 76.
“B.C.,” launched in 1958 and eventually appeared in more than 1,300 newspapers with an audience of 100 million, according to Creators Syndicate Inc., which distributes it. I like Hart’s unique understated humor and the subtle way he worked Christian themes into the comic strip.

Pet Food Recall Expands
At first, the cat & dog food recalls were scary. We trust these big companies to provide a safe and healthy product for our pets, and it’s unnerving to think their quality control has broken down to the point where poisons go undetected. As the list of affected companies and contaminated brand name pet foods grow, so does our unease about what we’re feeding our pets.
Now the latest news adds dog biscuits made by an Alabama company and sold by Wal-Mart under the Ol’Roy brand, to the contaminated list. The Food and Drug Administration said the manufacturer, [...]
