Mixtape: A Tune in June
It’s that time to not really have a specific time to roll out with this monthly playlist. The downside of user videos is the sound isn’t so crisp.

In 1 Nostril, Out the Other
I have become a convert of nasal irrigation. Pour isotonic solution into one side of your nose and it flows out of the other nostril. It sounds weird, it looks weird, and it is weird.

Recording Internet Radio is Illegal? [Copyright]
The U.S. has laws and the laws enforce and prohibit certain activities and protect certain rights. It gets tricky, even if you are a lawyer because some instances and cases have not been settled in court or defined explicitly in an Act or law. For instance, did you know that each recording device sold requires… Continue reading Recording Internet Radio is Illegal? [Copyright]
