The Puppini Sisters’ “Jilted.” NPR:

A bassist plucks the big fiddle’s strings and makes them moan. Drumsticks tap out a languid beat. Then a sad woman begins her story of woe: “I bought another dinner for one / I sit and watch some pointless rerun…” Two other singers join her to lament their fate: “Jilted… again.” They’d even sat through football games to keep him! Now, the jiltees are engaging in classic self-destructive behavior, from “drinking gin” to “talking to the cat.”

The Rise & Fall of Ruby Woo is a fun album to listen to.

The flu came on Monday night and I should have took my wife’s advice and stayed home and rest. Went to work yesterday and it got worse. I had to leave a early and the commute home was hell. I got home and crashed out. My wife got out of work early and made me some chicken congee. I could barely eat. I feel a bit better today, but still hot and a bit disorienting. So I better stay home today to rest.

Isn’t it great to have a wife who takes good care of you when you’re sick? Her congee was great. It reminded me of the early days when we were just learning out each other. She was sick and I offered to cook some congee for her. When I came over to her apartment. It was already cooked and so I helped her out by ate two bowls. Man, it was the good old time.

It’s about time Lil Wayne cuts a studio version of “Pussy Monster.”

So fresh, so clean, so simple.

Brian Ford’s response to “How to Create a Successful Web Site For Nothing (or Almost Nothing).” It’s hilarious.

Video of a dude driving a motorcycle with his feet. How awesome?

This site looks hot.

The Wall Street Journal‘s Vauhini Vara published an article on “How to Create a Successful Web Site For Nothing (or Almost Nothing).” Reading the opening line—”Have you got eight hours and $10? Then you can build a Web site for your business.”—makes me chuckles and couldn’t read on.
