Here’s what we do for fun in Boone County, Missouri! We watch the pig races at the Boone County Fair. Notice the excellent cheerleader with the yellow pom-pons. Her yellow pig, who goes by the stage name “Rush Limhog,” won the race. The reward for winning the race? One Oreo cookie.

Welcome back, KCOU 88.1! After a long break (while they waited for a new transmitter or a new building or a combo of the two) they’re back on the air. And after a good listen today, I’d have to say they’re better than ever.
Now I loved KCOU when I first moved to Columbia in ‘94. [...]

One benefit of having kids is the opportunity to revisit games from the past. Many of these were amazingly mindless—especially when the kids were really little—but sometimes you can be surprised. So it was when Sam chose to purchase Mouse Trap with a birthday gift card.

Sometimes there are sad musical months where nothing seems to grab my attention and I spend my time trolling through old MP3s trying to discover something overlooked. Other months—much rarer but much more pleasant—unload hours and hours of great music. This is one of those months. I find myself listening to the same ten CDs [...]

It just struck me as one of those documents where you go, “Yeah, that’s what the world is like today. Different.” It appears to be some [...]

It’s always odd to be watching a commercial, walking through the mall, or grabbing a glance at a random library book and then notice, “Hey, I’m the target audience for that!” Since it’s marketing, you know it didn’t happen by accident. So it was that I got sucked into checking out Magic Bus: On the [...]

New pictures of Orlando HERE.

So here’s one for Randy Cohen, who writes a column called “The Ethicist” in the New York Times Magazine:
I was at a store today returning an item. I had lost the receipt. When they refunded my money (in the form of a gift card), they refunded the current price ($40) instead of the sale price [...]

What a strange, disturbing story: The State of California has declared a fiscal emergency and instead of sending out tax refunds, education grants, money owed to small businesses for purchases, and funding for counties to maintain essential services is sending out IOUs that can’t be cashed until October! Try paying your rent or credit card [...]
