Excerpts From The 2009 IKEA Catalog
Monday, August 18th, 2008Dawg Wordles
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008Well the wordles of popular songs thing went so well that Ally over at The Road To Copacetic and Mackalicious at Blogging Pantsless got into the act. (Thanks for the h/t, Ally!)
In honor of these two fine and distinguished Dawgs, I present Munson. Wordled. I think I’m going to frame these. Seriously.
There’s just something so visually cool about these… I think because they remind me of all the awesome stuff Saul Bass did, for example:
So, so cool, man.
Later.
Wordle Quiz Friday Fun Fight Championship
Friday, July 18th, 2008See if you can guess these songs by their visual representation of their lyrics. The more common a word is in the song, the larger it is in the image. Wheee! Fun right?
First person to post all 10 correctly in the comments wins nothing, save some respect or something. Not from me, mind you – I ain’t got no respect left to give, players.

By the way, is it weird that I want to frame some of these and put them up on my wall?

Bad, Bad Idea, Myspace
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008Whoever decided that incorporating a karaoke feature into Myspace obviously didn’t count on me abusing it for all it’s worth. I know I can’t sing – does that stop me? No. I know I make a fool of myself – does that stop me? No. Besides, it’s ultimately about the feeling, and this rendition of Joe Cocker’s cover of “With A Little Help From My Friends” has got feeling out the yin-yang. So much, in fact, I might have blown out the microphone. Do not crank this one. In fact, don’t even listen to it. Just skip this post altogether.

My Radiohead Dream Setlist
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008As mentioned prior, I, along with Maya, Kevin, and Mike, will be going to see Radiohead this Thursday night at Lakewood Amphitheatre.
I tried my best to refrain from seeking out the setlist from the first show of the U.S. leg of the tour which was last night in W. Palm Beach, but that lasted all of no time at all. Not surprisingly (and I don’t think this would be a spoiler), a large majority of the setlist was from “In Rainbows”. Which is great and all – but I was thinking: If I could do my dream setlist for the band (and actually restrict it and not just say, “Play every song from every album”), what would it be? I decided to pick 23 songs as that’s how many they played last night (!!) in West Palm. Anyone care to chime in? Additions? Subtractions?

CD Cover Meme
Friday, February 1st, 2008A couple of weeks ago I joined the CD Cover Meme Group in Flickr and submitted a couple of my own creations. It’s pretty cool and funny at times – you have to create a CD cover based on the following rules:
1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.
2. www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
3. www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
Here are the two I submitted to the group originally:
