The Lex Files

Randy Pausch

I’ve been a big fan of Randy’s since his initial Internet burst of fame with his “Last Lecture.” I’ve since watched all his online lectures, bought his book, and saved that Last Lecture for my kids to watch when they’re old enough to appreciate it.

Randy finally died yesterday. But I don’t think the cancer won.

I like my iPod touch

The subject really says it all. But I’m quite pleased with the purchase, and already find that I’m using my laptop measurably less. It (the iPod) is a great little device. One day I will no doubt be a true iPhone owner, but given how rarely I leave the house and our existing stellar contract with TMobile, I just can’t justify that purchase of the phone right now…

Orange vs. Lager

As you may recall, I’m involved in a songwriting contest.

My friends, the time has come to vote for me again.

This time, we were asked to write songs comparing two nouns (from lists the contest’s sponsors provided). The song also had to be at least 1:45 long, and had to feature a syllable repeated five consecutive times, on at least three separate occasions during the song.

You can hear the song, and vote for it if it’s your favorite (it is), right here.
