albums of the year 07

I'm a big list maker. I make lists about nearly everything I do. I think I got it from my mom. Evidently so did my nephew who has started to pick up a piece of paper and doodling on it in his hands, in the same nature of my mom picking up her paper and making her morning list.

I've began to think about my favorite list of the year... the best music of the year. In no particular order, yet. It will be much more scientific when I post my official list. For this time being, here's a preview....



















And evidently I liked black and tan album covers this year.

Songs I listened to on 09/27

It was last week... but I took note of all songs I listened to that day.
--------------------
So I drive to work, go through the day with my ear phones on, only removing them when I get up from my desk or my phone rings. I wrote down all the songs I listened to today as they came up on shuffle. I do hit next a lot so these are the ones I actually listened to.

A bad comic

Evidently if you're a designer you're your own boss. I haven't figured out how to do that yet. Mostly because I don't want to be my own boss, I usually have no problem letting myself down.

An amazing opinion article, not about what we're doing to hurt the environment, because we all know that. But why we shouldn't be doing what we're doing.

Can't seem to win. Bad for the boobs, good for the heart.

Blogger fonts suck!

why

It's no question that I'm online a lot. I visit a lot of links and people send me a lot of links. So in my infinate genius I thought perhaps I'd put them all in one place. Voila... here we are. A blog of links.
