So there's some congressman (does "congressman" need to be capitalized?) trying to pass some legislation on how the 10 Commandments should be posted in a government building, and Steven Colbert quizzes him, asking him to name the 10 Commandments (y'know, the important thing that he's legislating so hard for).

Thano's Lamplighter Restaurant has closed its doors.



Man oh man...that hits me like a ton of bricks. I love that place...I think they had the best pizza in town.

Man, I had been going there since I was a kid...you'd always see cops in there 'cause I guess Thano would give 'em meals for free (or cheap anyway). I asked my Dad why he did that and he indicated that Thanos would never get robbed since there was usually a cop or two in the kitchen talking with the cooks and eating big plates of pasta.

I think it was more than that though...I think Thano really had a feel for a community, and wanting to be part of a neighborhood. You'd always see him hanging out in the restaurant at one of the back tables, talking to the cops or the basketball players, or just the regulars. Being a shop owner and saying hi to his neighbors, just like in the old days. It's funny, I don't see the owner of the American Apparel shop down the street doing the same thing. I wonder if the more upscale McKinley Towne Center going in next door has anyting to do with the closing.

There was a time when we would go every Friday, get a half-tray Sicillian deep dish and a plate of fries...soooo good. Any time the waitress would ask how it was we'd say "It was the best pizza ever."

That goofy Bouzouki music that would always be playing reminded me of the Cheese Shop sketch by Monty Python.

That one time that John Bush and Jonathan Ball ordered Greek Coffee but whoever made it put salt in it instead of sugar.

Lee always getting the grilled cheese or the Pizza margarita (fresh mozzarella, fresh tomatoes & fresh basil w/ tomato sauce) back when he was a vegetarian.

When Kid Rock and Tara Reid were in Ann Arbor the little college waitress knew all 'bout it.

Donn Stroud watching that waitress pour two drinks from two pitchers at the same time and saying "Whoa...Double" in an astounded voice.

Watching guys go into Encore with crates of records to sell...then coming back out of Encore with the same records.

That one time we couldn't figure out why the pizza tasted so weird and it was because the Parmesean cheese was beyond funky.

The weird trough in the men's room (the men's room that you needed to go through the kitchen to get to.



The cheap posters of Greece on the walls.

The weird walk-up window pass-thru that only got used to shout at your friends as they walked by.

Those awesome round tables that could fold up to become square.

The little silver bowl of Grandma mints at the front desk.

The photos of Jesse White and Jimmy Stewart behind the counter.

The hourglass-shaped drinking glasses that would always hold all of the ice at the bottom until you tapped it and then the ice would come down and hit your face like tears.

Now they're packing it all up and auctioning it off tomorrow. Auction Flyer 1. Auction Flyer 2.

Not to get double cheesy or anything, but I had actually planned on taking my son there. A big slice of cheesy deep dish pizza with pepperoni and onions. I'd show him how to cut it on the big tray, and hold one end of the pan with a napkin so your fingers didn't get burned. Guess that's not going to happen...at least not at Thanos.

Thanks Thano

New social networking music site: MOG.



Basically you download a little piece of software that displays a list of your digital music collection, and then gives you a little page to blog on, meet other "Moggers" and brag about "your bad-ass self" (as the kids are saying nowadays.

I set up a page Here if you wanna see what it looks like.

Another article Here

Things that are interesting:

1. Skinnable with decent designs (Coop, Frank Kozik,)
2. Last.FM-style real-time playcounts
3. You can drag the data elements around on the page, so if I want my "First Concert" info at the top of the page, I can just drag it up there.
4. you can choose from multiple photos as your display photo.
5. Easy blogging setup.
6. It is totally geared toward hooking up. You can look for people with your similar tastes in your zip code by age, relationship status and sexual orientation.

Things that are a drag:

1. The process takes a million years...I've had it looking at my collection for two hours and it's on file 245 out of 2471.
2. The login is super buggy and has crashed the application several times.
3. People are bitching about the lousy data and recognition: here and here. (note: You may need to be logged in to look in the forum...I dunno.)
4. There's no real radio or listening function.
5. The ads for American Apparel make me feel dirty.
6. The artist info is going to get unwieldy really quickly: There's a short bio (thank you Muze) and then a Wiki/blog style place where anybody can argue over who is the cutest one in Death Cab for Cutie...that kind of discussion may increase page views (and advertising CPM) but it makes it a little hard to follow.

Bottom line:

It holds more interest for me than MySpace does...but all of my friends are on MySpace. Whomever becomes the "MySpace Killer" (and I don't mean like the Zodiac Killer) is going to have to offer something pretty sweet to lure all of those 80 million people away. The long-awaited "iPod Killer" MP3 player is a little different, since it doesn't depend on the kind of interconnectivity that social networking sites do.

It's almost like VHS and Beta -- it doesn't really matter which one has the best technology or interface, it only really matters which one the majority of people are using. As more and more people go for VHS/MySpace (for videos, it was due to the quantity of titles available, for MySpace it has to do with the number of people you already know who are signed up), breaking into that market can be difficult.

The person who really wins the race is the person who comes out with The DVD -- Different format, better quality, more durable, lighter, better features...that's what it takes to cause a dramatic shift in an area that already has a strong user base. I don't think anyone should waste time trying to become the next MySpace or the next Digg or the next Google...those are already there and are already serving a purpose. People should be looking for the thing that doesn't exist yet.

New music recommendation device/gadget: Musicovery
(which I think is a mash-up of Music Discovery, and not Music+Ovary as someone originally thought)



It looks a lot like MusicPlasma, but incorporates Moods into the mix, and streams the songs that they recommend.

If you hover over one of the rainbow-colored Genres in the iPod looking thing, it gives you a little window with four moods in it. By clicking around one of those moods it brings back a string of songs that (loosely) fit the mood and genre you selected.

They also have check boxes for things that are "Hits," "Non-Hits" and some kind of "Decouverte" mode (which I don't know what it means).
They have some kind of decade-specific limiter as well.

Their collection seems pretty small, and their interface is still a little confusing to me (possibly because it is all in French), but I think it shows another way to offer music data in a graphical format.

They discovered if they could sell music to a lot of those people, they could sell a lot more records." --T Bone Burnett

Anybody else notice that Flickr now says "Remember! Flickr Terms of Service specify that if you post a Flickr photo on an external website, the photo must link back to its photo page. (So, use Option 1.)"

What does that mean? I mean, I know what it means, but why is that? What's wrong with hosting an image but having it link to a website?

Another question: When you're browsing to upload photos to Flickr, why does it show you all file types? Wouldn't it make sense to only let you browse jpegs, gifs and bitmaps? Or at least allow you to select that option? I've got about four hundred and seventy icons on my desktop...finding the image I just saved is usually a chore.

The pictures you sent me of your wife did not, in all honesty help. Some of them looked more like a traffic accident than something that I might remotely find alluring.

A Hard Day's Night is playing at the Michigan Theater on Tuesday, June 13 at 7:00, and if you've never seen it on the big screen, you really should. I'm always amazed at what a punishing band they were, especially Mr Starkey on the drums.

When my Dad gave me a copy of The Beatles Live at the BBC on CD, he encouraged me to listen to them as just a really tight R&B band. Strip away all of the history and what you already know about them and Beatlemania and everything, and just think of them as four guys who did an extended tour in the shitty German beerhalls and just cranked out like four or five hours of music a night.

They were like the original punk band, pulling the wool over everybody's eyes.

Plus they were bloody hilarious. Checkkit:



Anyhoo, I'm going next Tuesday if anybody else wants to go.

Steven Colbert's commencement speech from Knox College:

"And when you enter the workforce, you will find competition from those crossing our all-too-porous borders. Now I know you're all going to say, "Stephen, Stephen, immigrants built America." Yes, but here's the thing--it's built now. I think it was finished in the mid-70s sometime. At this point it's a touch-up and repair job. But thankfully Congress is acting and soon English will be the official language of America. Because if we surrender the national anthem to Spanish, the next thing you know, they'll be translating the Bible. God wrote it in English for a reason! So it could be taught in our public schools.

So we must build walls. A wall obviously across the entire southern border. That's the answer. That may not be enough--maybe a moat in front of it, or a fire-pit. Maybe a flaming moat, filled with fire-proof crocodiles. And we should probably wall off the northern border as well. Keep those Canadians with their socialized medicine and their skunky beer out. And because immigrants can swim, we'll probably want to wall off the coasts as well. And while we're at it, we need to put up a dome, in case they have catapults. And we'll punch some holes in it so we can breathe. Breathe free. It's time for illegal immigrants to go--right after they finish building those walls. Yes, yes, I agree with me."

So there's this car crash, right? and these two similar-looking blonde girls are in the accident, and one of 'em dies and the other one lives. Well as it turns out when the one who lives comes out of her coma everybody's saying "Oh Laura, we're so glad you're allright" and through her haze she finally figures out what is going on and says "I'm not Laura, I'm Whitney." Isn't that totally insane? The other family already had the funeral and everything, but it was for the wrong girl! Their daughter is alive! And how does that phone call go down? When the family at the hospital calls the family of the girl who's actually alive, does Whitney's family get all excited? On the phone? That's kind of a bad move, right? To get all jazzed when you're on the phone with somebody who just found out that their daughter died, but your daughter's alive...and who figures out the bills? Funerals cost a lot, but so does being in a coma in the hospital.
And although everybody seems like they're being cool about it, there's a lawsuit a-brewin'...I can just smell it.
