Today is the 70th anniversary of the original radio broadcast of The War of the Worlds. Do yourself a favor and listen to the original broadcast of this crown jewel of american media history. Don’t forget to protect yourself by wearing a pot on your head.
The Art of Manliness blog has comprised a list of “52 workout songs to help you get bigger, stronger, faster.” While I’m a big believer in music being a positive factor when it comes to exercise some of these I’ll skip over. On the other hand there are some good choices there. Then again some of my tastes venture into the realm of cheesy.
14. “I Believe In a Thing Called Love” - The Darkness
22. “Feel Good Inc“ - Gorillaz
29. “D.A.N.C.E.” - Justice
While browsing the usual blogs this little jewel was discovered. Jon as a grand post featuring a playlist of his top surf songs.

Since the Gulf of Mexico isn’t that good for surfing after experiencing the Pacific Ocean in SoCal I’ll just play this while floating the river in the hill country of Texas next week. Thanks Jon!
I love Japan for many reasons. One is portrayed in how creatively strange their music videos can be. What. The. Hell?!
NPR likes to shake things up on a regular basis. Since the beginning they admitted that they couldn’t report as fast as the mainstream media companies, so they would just try and do a better job. One of their current experiments is a two hour segment called The Bryant Park project. Since I’m admittedly not a writer by profession I’ll take the low road and let them describe themselves:
The Bryant Park Project is a distinct and lively take on the news. It combines the authority and intelligence of NPR with the tone and sensibility the next generation of Public Radio listeners demand.
At its core, the BPP is a two-hour morning drive-time news show. The approach is conversational, with host Alison Stewart covering the day’s news by means of interviews and signature segments. The show seeks out stories that satisfy the audience’s curiosity, with a sense of smarts, humanity and fun.
Like any experiment they keep mixing things up to see what works it seems. What they’re good at is the utilization of Web 2.0 technology to get their word out there as much as they can suchas Twitter, Facebook, and RSS feeding. Of course you can still listen to their stream if your local NPR affiliate hasn’t picked it up yet. Enjoy!
NPR has a segment about how to be a productive Procrastinator by “Procrastination expert” Timothy Pychyl. If that is an actual job title I can think of a few people who would proudly hold the mantel.
