Warned you that I wasn't likely to keep up the updates... Two days in a row was a lot to ask, it seemed. Fear not, however, here I am, back within a week.It's Monday so, don't forget to check out The Dead.Net Tapers Section. It's a nice looking update with some 80s and 90s material.Over the weekend, I scored some tickets to the Washington Wizards game on Sunday. I went with my eldest daughter

It's Tuesday and that makes this the second post in as many days. Don't get your hopes up, folks, I'll probably get bored with this again before long.Anyway, one of my frequent stops on the web nowadays is:Woot.com is a simple site; each day, they sell one product until either midnight or they sell all of their stock. Two-For-Tuesdays is the exception, of course. The 'deal' is not always great

It's been nigh onto forever since I updated this thing so, here goes. I thought I'd start by giving you a peek into what I look at day-to-day online and, as today is Monday we'll start with my favorite Monday update:Tapers Section @ the Official Site of the Grateful Dead.Every Monday, the Grateful Dead's archivist, David Lemieux, posts a blog that's loaded with free, downloadable mp3's from the

Part one of a two part series.I was reading my Sunday paper yesterday (on the day it arrived- a triumph of slackdom over obligation) and I noticed a blurb mentioning a new Virginia law that took effect on July 1. The law requires all of Virginia's public and private universities and colleges to submit names and social security numbers of their students to the state police so that they can be

R.I.P. - Vince Welnick It pains me to follow my last post with this news but, Grateful Dead keyboard player Vince Welnick has died. The circumstances are not confirmed but it's a sad day. Vince played keys at every Grateful Dead show that attended. There were plenty who didn't get doen with what he was doing and I've downed him some myself but, as far as I'm concerned, Vince was and forever shall

Not a lot I can say.Ramrod (aka Lawrence Shurtliff and shown above with Jerry Garcia) worked for the Grateful Dead practically from the beginning. He was always there; an integral part of making it all happen. I never knew him but he's as much family as any of the band members and so, we send much love to him and his family.Grateful Dead wordsmith, Robert Hunter has penned an Elegy in his

All right, I'll admit it. We forgot about Daylight Saving Time starting today and, because of that, my wife and eldest daughter were late to serve as tools of the vast Girl Scout Cookie Empire.Spring forward.Fall back.blah blah blah.Of course, they tell us that the whole thing is designed to save energy but, does it? The answers seem to be mixed at best. My advice is, try not to crash your car

More than a dozen years ago a British friend of mine told me the story of Guy Fawkes. A revolutionary, idealist, demolitions enthusiast, and terrorist all rolled into one and canonized in England for the act of attempting to blow up Parliament. (Not to be confused with the act of offering George Clinton an eight-ball, this guy was actually carrying gunpowder with the intent to detonate it beneath

Today, we bring you yet another way that the Department of Homeland Security defends us from the oppression of upstanding citizens. Apparently, it is un-American (or, at least quite suspicious) to want to pay down your credit cards. This, is not especially suprising, I suppose. These days, it seems as if the system is designed to install a healthy dose of personal debt into your life before you

Never mind the potential intellectual property issues, YouTube has got a hookup for the old-school Grateful Dead.Check out this clip of Viola Lee Blues circa. 1967.It pretty much speaks for itself.In other (not entirely unrelated) News:The Most Trusted Man In America, Walter Cronkite is telling it "the way it is" in this article about the War On Drugs.Quote of the day:"One of the manifestations

Emerging past the realm of semi-science-fiction and into the world of soon-to-be-utterly-dismissed-by-governments-and-ignored-by-the-public, A group of anthropologists is pushing the theory that evolution can be tied to the shamanistic use of trances both induced by psychedelics and rituals.

Speaking of spying.You have to hand it to the Bush administration, once again they have concocted a brilliantly dazzling distraction from a developing scandal.No longer do you see the headlines about the possibly illegal domestic spying (on supposedly exclusively international transmissions.) Nope. that has been neatly swept under the rug."How did they do this," you ask?Let me introduce you to a

Ok, maybe not.But now, it seems that if you want to send a text message with personal or incriminating information, there is a service for you.Stealthtext is a new application for UK cell phone customers that will allow you to send a message that automatically deletes itself after it has been read.Of course, nothing is perfect.
