Best of Craigslist: “From an Angry Soldier” – a must-read.
Songbird, a “a desktop Web player, a digital jukebox and Web browser mash-up” – have not tried it yet, looks promising!
Awesome contraption a la Rube Goldberg!
Some Dayton, OH YouTube-ness. (Bonus: look for some great Brainiac live footage!)
Some things never change: what my mom’s been up to lately. (This last apparently involving something along the lines of stealing cable.) (Also i found some interesting busts from the early 90s here, including petty theft, unlawful use of property, and drug abuse.)
Information relating to the indictment (for involuntary manslaughter) of my good friend Derek Bayes, a kind and gentle fellow musician, who, according to anecdotal personal testimony, was defending himself against his girlfriend’s enraged, blind, shotgun-wielding estranged husband (or something very similar), when he accidentally choked the guy to death. According to some mutual friends, when the ambulance and police came, he was still on top of the guy and was crying when they took him away. A trumped up case, especially after the local media got ahold of it and spun it the wrong way round like the bloodthirsty vampires they are. I know Derek, and he is a harmless and sweet man with a good heart. And he’s still sitting in prison, with a couple years left on his nine-year sentence. (Don’t let his mug shot fool you, he was obviously having a very, very bad day.)
Another good friend of mine: Dee, who shares my birthday and who is yet another extraordinary kind human being who was caught up in some bad circumstances. Thankfully, Dee’s free again.
Historic South Park District in Dayton, OH (where we now live).
We’re thinking about buying the house we’re in, and this information has been pretty helpful thus far. Also, knowing more about bad mold can’t hurt!

I was also friends with Derek Bayes and knew him well we worked together at beach mfg. co. at the time of his charges. I attended his trial and they painted a picture of a crazed lunatic which was as far from the way he was. He was a kind person and would never intentionally harm any one. I guess a person can no longer defend their life.
As far a springfields judical system goes, they could care less about the truth as long as they get as many convictions as possible thier happy. It makes it seem as though their actually doing thier job, But what people dont realise is that they are crooked as hell.
The sad thing is that in this town there is no more innocent untill proven guilty, its guilty untill proven innocent….
It just enrages me to think that a good guy like Derek has been fucked so hard, and by our own judicial system of all things.
