So I've been pretty busy, and this month will be no different, but I strive to keep updating on occasion as well. So in brief, I provide you with 11 things on my mind today 1-11

1. I started playing ice hockey a couple of months ago. I've never played before and I'm not a great skater. But I am getting much better and I have truly become obsessed. I play left wing for the NY Shock and I just scored my first goal on Monday.

2. About 8 minutes before I scored my first goal, I sprained my ankle and I'm hobbling around in an air cast right now

3. We are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel for Ice Age 2. Production is still in full force, but we officially finished animation this week.

4. I was in the local Westchester paper a couple of weeks ago, for a story about Gymp3.com, a company that my friend Jason started that provides downloadable audio workouts complete with celebrity trainer and great music. You download from iTunes, save to your iPod and go. simple, and they are very cool.

5. Google Earth is really freakin' cool. Now for the Mac!

6. I just bought a Jabra JX-10 Bluetooth headset. So far it is really impressible, excellent design, lightweight, good battery life, and great sound

7. I have been obsessed with The West Wing on DVD. Up to Season 4.

8. NewsRadio was one of the best comedies that ever aired. Its run was blemished by the death of Phil Hartman, and bizarre scheduling by NBC which led to its cancellation prompting a huge public outcry including a story in Rolling Stone basically stating that NBC just cancelled the best show on TV. I am reminded of this unfortunate event because of the cancellation of Arrested Development... with many of the same causes. There's a very interesting site documenting and commenting on the details of the life of NewsRadio

9. I am currently listening to Sasha + John Digweed : Renaissance: The Mix Collection, Vol. 1

10. Windows Media is now dead on the Mac. It's a good thing... because Microsoft is now promoting Flip4Mac windows Media components for Quicktime. You download and install and can then play your windows media files in the quicktime player. Finally. Now... if Real Networks would just go to hell and not be such a crap ass with their proprietary lard.

11. Yes... this one goes to eleven. I bought a squeezebox by Slim Devices last year. It's incredible. I won't go in to detail, but visit their site, and you will get the gist. It is swanker than you know. as my friend Sheldon says... it's the brill. And yes... the volume goes to 11.
