QotD: World Series 2007
What are your predictions for the World Series? While I’d like to see the Colorado Rockies over the Boston Red Sox in 5, so they can win it at home, I think it will likely go 6 or 7, but the upstart Rocks will ultimately pull out the victory. Scheduling nonsense aside — 8:23 pm games in
QotD: The Song Remains The Same
Led Zeppelin will finally offer their music online starting next month. Of the music you buy, about how much of it do you download and how much do you buy on physical formats (CDs, vinyl, etc.)?

On Locked Entries
I’ve never been a fan of posting locked entries behind a “Friends and Family” filter, but I’ve found myself doing it a few times recently and wanted to give the handful of you who I know read but don’t have a Vox account (or read through LiveJournal cross-posts) a heads-up that I’ve been posting a little
I’m One Hundred Miles Away, Son…

I liked the Gecko for the first year or two, but can’t stand him any more, and the Cavemen were fun until someone came up with the stupid idea to turn them into a TV show. As good as both campaigns were in the beginning, they’re rather overexposed at this point and should really
