I’m in a “back to music” mode again. I’ll dwell on music for a long time then go out and search for new stuff. I’ve always been a big fan of the “Barenaked Ladies” but they’ve not had a new album for some time. So who’s got me listening or obsessing over music again? Jack Johnson and Natasha Bedingfield. Johnson just scored his first number one album with the soundtrack to “Curious George”. Nice work! It’s taken too long for the public to accept him. Bedingfield has great hooks in her song with intelligent yet fun lyrics.

What are some of my favorites?

Jack:
Banana Pancakes – Will leave you longing for a rainy day so that you can stay inside and listen to the song and prepare some flapjacks with nanners.

Gone – It’s a short little ditty but it packs a big message. The catchy tune caught the ears of the Black Eyed Peas. If you like Jack’s version, also check out the BEP’s hip hop interpretation.

Upside Down – This one will have you feeling like a kid again when you thought the entire world was at your disposal. Just try to get this one out of your head after listening to it!

Better Together – A laidback love song that’ll have you singing along!

Natasha:
These Words – Struggling to write a song, find the right lyric and the hook… Well, she did it with a mind-numbing pop gem.

Unwritten – Bedingfield’s scores another one with this one. Both of these songs also have some wicked remixes out there.

If you’re looking for something different, check out Eva Cassidy. Yahoo! her and check out her story and songs. A beautiful voice who left the earth much too early.

No need for a Classic Song Flashback… Any of these songs above will do!

Well, I’m trying it for the first time tonight and it’s slick. Of course everyone will be so used to using the “old” version, so just like me, they’ll find themselves trying the old keystrokes or mouse clicks to manuever around. Everytime, I try to navigate to my favorites, I still point the mouse to the top. The bar is no longer there. The tabs are nice. The button with four squares will give you a thumbnail of the window, that’s cool. Not having 18 open windows just while surfing the web is a big plus. I have to get into the RSS world. I haven’t dabbled too much there. Well, check it out for yourself, head to microsoft.com.

Well, here I sit on an inflatable bed in Memphis, Tennessee. Who knew?! The move was good but there’s always fun associated when you relocate your life! Especially twice. April’s in Memphis and I’m living in the Cleveland area. Long distance relationships sure are fun!? Hopefully this all pays off BIG someday.

Classic song flashback: Love Rollercoaster – The Ohio Players

It’s nothing like starting a project only to be sidetracked by life! Life has been busy recently. We were contemplating a move back to our home. We decided it was the right move and we’re going back to be closer to family.

Happiness is family and after being away some five years, it’s time for a homecoming!

Not only is it family but friends. We make friends whereever we go but it is those special friends that you always long to be near.

Classic song flashback: Bring It On Home To Me – Sam Cooke (Backing Vocals By Lou Rawls)

I have to thank the online community for posting good tips about fixing everything from doors that won’t stay open to keeping your laptop’s screen from wobbling.

My laptop screen was driving me nuts. Everything I would type it would wobble back and forth. So thank God for Yahoo! I found someone’s note that said on Toshiba notebooks there are two screws covered by plastic circles with adhesive on the back. All you need to do to tighten up your screen is tighten up the screws behind the plastic circles. I just did that and viola, the darn thing’s brand new again.

I hope someone see’s this post and doesn’t go through the trouble of taking their laptop to a professional when the fix is this easy. DIY (Do it yourself) and save a couple of bucks!

Of course, it worked for me and may not work for you so I offer you no guarantees and don’t plan to pay for your laptop if something goes wrong. {smile}

If everything goes right, I’m glad I could have helped.

My Media Center didn’t record the Young & The Restless today so I’m ticked off a little bit. Thanks to the folks at one of the spoiler sites, I still know what happened.

Classic song flashback: Amie – Pure Prairie League

Tired… not too much going on tonight. I’m sitting on the floor watching World Poker Tour. Isn’t it simply amazing how fast technology is changing? My cell phone is an mp3 player. I’m typing onto the Internet without any wires and I’m fast forwarding through commericals on my dvr.

Back in elementary school, the only computer I heard of was on Star Wars. Now, they’re all over the place. It’s amazing and I love it. I’m just waiting for the day, some robot will pick up my clothes all over the house.

I just bought a couple things on buy.com and was really happy with the products, service and mostly importantly, the price. You might want to check them out. Not bad stuff.
