Institute for Backup Trauma

John Cleese fans, here's a tip for you!

Al Green - Minister of Soul

He did it again. My all time favorite music artist Al Green, the master of spiritual soul with the golden voice, has released a new album, Everything's OK. This album is much more than ok.

Listen here: http://www.bluenote.com/algreenplayer/ if you need to be convinced.
The New York Times has a meaningful article about him and the album:

With A Little Help From Her Friends

Lately I heard on Wholewheatradio about Mary Travers, of the Peter Paul & Mary folk-group. She's suffering from leukemia and is hopefully getting a bone marrow transplant in the New York hospital where she'll be for 6 weeks or more.
Let's all help her get through this, even if you don't know her. That would be a good use of the internet, to get people from all over the world to join for a good cause.
Forget your selfish thoughts to blog about for a moment and help a lady in distress.

You can do this by sending her 'get well' wishes, something to cheer her up, to the special email-address getwellmary@aol.com. Let's hear it for the girl!

IPod very popular at Microsoft

About two thirds of the Microsoft employees seem to be using Apple's iPod instead of audioplayers supported by Microsoft software. This worries the MS management a lot.

Hilarious, isn't it?!

Funnie Movie-clips

Today I found two short movie-clips, both commercials, but the one for VW is a fake I believe.
I read somewhere on the internet that VW is going to take action against the maker/publisher.
The other one for John West (well-known for canned fish) is quite hilarious.
