Quickly: Podshow.com has great free music for podcasts The podsafe music network is a great resource for free music licensed to be used in podcasts and other online works. In the next 24 hours or so, you can laugh at my first attempt to use ourmedia.org and Podshow.com to create an audio slideshow.

Why am I writing about Del.icio.us now? Because they've

Senate panel sets end to analog TV broadcasts Well, boys and girls, only 1,200 some days until your analog TV no longer works. If I was smart, I'd set aside $1/day and then I'd be able to pick up a cheap HD TV on HD-Day. But, I'm not smart. So, it will be no interest charges until April 7, 2010 for Michele and me.

So, spent my day off worrying about our dying cat, Doppler. She has a red cell count of 9. 39 is normal. Basically, she should be dead. http://del.icio.us/dketterick/anemia So, she's getting tested and a blood tranfusion in Akron. Or, she's dead. I'll find out Thursday.

The Showbiz Show ... five minutes in, and I already want to watch weekly. And I don't like David Spade. Nicely played, Comedy Central. Also, nice to see that Greg Giraldo is getting a show. Since that douche didn't even show to his own set at Pickwick and Frolick last week. Douche.

"Just as dusk set in, a Gretna Sheriff showed up, jumped out of his patrol vehicle, aimed his gun at our faces, screaming, 'Get off the fucking freeway'. A helicopter arrived and used the wind from its blades to blow away our flimsy structures. As we retreated, the sheriff loaded up his truck with our food and water." Interesting first-person account of trying to get out of New Orleans.

So, does this mean my five-month old iPod mini is obsolete? If so -- thank you Apple, for convincing me to buy outdating coolness ... just so I could drool over the new cool as Xmas approaches. Maybe I can convince Michele to take the mini ... so megets a Nano.

Kanye West on NBC: Wow. From MSNBC: reminded me of the “Saturday Night Live” skit where Mike Myers plays an infomercial guy who has to deal with a racist Heather Locklear. Totally different message from what Kanye said, but the look on Myers' face was the same. Similar vein: Ray Nagin for President, Anderson Cooper for Secretary of Take No Shit

"I believe that the mass media's ability to set a common agenda for the community has been merely a side effect that arose from the technological limitation of mass media. " A good read on this "awkward," end of mainstream media time we're in.

YesButNoButYes: SUV: Killing Americans at home and abroad A bit ichy that the idea came from Andrew Sullivan, but nevertheless, a great idea for that stupidest of free speech outlets -- the bumper sticker. Osama Loves Your SUV Support the troops? Buy a hybrid.

Say it ain't so ... those damn, vegetarian Chipotle burritos that I've been downing for the past six months are absolutely horrible for me. And I can eat two in a sitting. As one of the greatest films of all time taught me, we must hate BigFastFood ... "Because he puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes ya crave it fortnightly, smartass!" Go ahead, see why your diet isn't working
