I had a few Christmas gift cards to burn, so last week I ordered Marvel Ultimate Alliance for the Wii from BestBuy’s web site. At check out, I noticed the system had a previous address on file. I backed out and updated my profile. But when I completed the order it still had my previous address in the shipping information. Crap.
This summer I went with the wife on a road trip that ended in Seattle. As we approached the city, it was like we had stepped back into 1995. The radio stations mixed in songs from Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and Stone Temple Pilots songs with some newer alternative rock songs. Coming from the wasteland of Philly radio, it was pretty damn cool to hear something different again even if it wasn’t new.
I found out today that Philly has a new radio station: Skin Radio. It’s an AM radio station — WHAT 1340, but it’s better than most of the crap on the FM dial right now. I listened to their Internet stream for most of the day today. It’s a little bit free-format college radio, a little bit 90’s throw-back, and lot rough edges. But compared to the local alternatives, I’m interested to see where this goes.
Now if only there was some way to resurrect WDRE…

My sister gave me a Whoomp Button for Christmas. It’s like a Staples Easy Button, but it plays “Whoomp! There It Is.” Now the internets can join in the fun.

We have two jars of it and were already halfway through one of them. Gross.

A small sampling from tonight’s broadcast:

The line isnt too crazy.
Update No Wii for me:( Tar-jay only had 9 Wii’s, and I was number 14. The Wii Bastards at Target, Best Buy, Circuit City etc. printed up circulars touting the thing, and they only have 9 on hand? LAME!
Update 2 The Wii is mine! GameStop had 18, and only 4 people in line.
