Sunday, February 27th, 2005

I think I need to study this guide on “Tasteful Food Photography” after looking at that picture below. :)

Looking for a Radio/CD Player

Friday, February 25th, 2005

I’m currently in the market for a small (yet “big” sounding) radio/cd player (and possibly an alarm clock thrown in as well).

We currently have a Bose Wave Radio in our bedroom and would love something similar to the features/sound quality/size of it, but a couple hundred dollars less. It definitely needs a [...]

Podcasting to the Masses

Friday, February 25th, 2005

If you spend a lot of time online, you’ve probably heard about Podcasting. If you’re not to too familiar with the term yet, you will be shortly. My best definition for podcasting is a method of blogging via an audio file/mp3. The part that makes Podcasting, “Podcasting” is that the listeners subscribe [...]

All Abba All The Time

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2005

I drive quite a bit between Iowa and Chicago visiting relatives. Sure, I get in a rut sometimes and irritate my passengers (usually Liz, Mo and Westerly) by subjecting them to my tastes in music (always Wilco and then other bands of a similar variety).

Monday, February 21st, 2005

I was watching the Channel 5 news last night and they had a quick/strange blurb between stories quickly stating that Hunter S. Thompson killed himself yesterday. I could not find any other mention of this anywhere on television or the internet until today.

What a huge loss.

“never underestimate the healing power of melted cheese”

Wednesday, February 16th, 2005

I’ll be the first to tell you that I hate Sundays (Sunday nights in particular). Even when The Sopranos and Curb Your Enthusiasm are “in season” this problem can’t be solved. I always have felt this way from when I was in grade school through today and I’ve discussed this before (here and [...]

A Milestone

Friday, February 11th, 2005

I’ve been thinking the last couple days as to how to celebrate, but just couldn’t come up with any good ideas.

The fact is that this is the 1000th post on marusin.com

Now if this were a tv show, it would be the standard “clip show” where we show highlights from the past years, best [...]

I’m Starting Wilco “Rumors”

Monday, February 7th, 2005

Well not really “rumors”. It’s more like I found something on the web from a legitimate source.

From the Nels Cline website: April into May there’s more Wilco, including a 4 night run in Chicago which will be recorded/filmed for a ‘live’ DVD. Toward the end of May there will be more Nels Cline Singers [...]

My “own” Super Bowl

Sunday, February 6th, 2005

I kid you not, I played my own Super Bowl a couple days ago on Madden 2005 and led the New England Patriots to win 24 - 21 over the Eagles…

Who knew? ;)
