Pete wrote in with this idea some time ago. I haven't been blogging much so I neglected to post it until now.

"Maybe this idea isn't that new, but it would be like name that tune but newer. so this show would be on MTV2 and what would happen is at the beginning they would kidnap the contestants, and take their iPods, then there would be a Name-that-tune-like game played using the contents of the iPods. Whoever could guess the most songs, on others iPods and stump their competitors with the cool contents of their iPods, would win prizes. It would have another aspect where contestants would be embarassed by the weird Menudo songs on their iPod.

anyway its a good idea for a game show."

That definitely is, Pete!

Has anyone else every played the music trivia game on their iPod where it makes you guess the names of the music on your own iPod? The thing is, for most people, it might be kind of boring because they loaded it, after all, but for me it's boring because I am so deeply (almost studeously) ignorant of what it is I'm listening to. People like Chris Higgins and Pete himself allow this by providing me with music so I don't have to think about it.

Patently Silly

Nathan reminded me about Patently Silly this morning, which I'd looked at before but hadn't given a serious reading and having done so now, I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with the quality ingenuity of inventions like "Alcoholic Beverages Derived from Animal Extract." I should see if I could collaborate with the inventor and come up with a new line of Everclear Party Starter Kit

The superfund site graffiti is looking particularly good these days. Here's some pictures I took today on a visit there with Erin.
