Earning enough money to live your life as an architect sounds really hard.

PAMS Advertising Agency of Dallas was one of the most successful producers of radio station ID jingles during the 50′s, 60′s and 70′s. Out of the many series of jingles they produced over the years, the most famous were the so called “numbered series” (which also had names).

Don’t you roll your eyes at me! The mere thought of listening to station jingles over and over is, at first glance, quite crazy I grant you! But the MP3s over at the PAMS Jingles page are SOLID GOLD catchy little ditties with high production values that never had a chance reaching your ear on the lo-fi AM band. They’re just short little station IDs, but they sound great and each one tells a story!

I like series 18 (Sonosational) but they all seem good, really.

Ben Goodger on Mozilla 0.9.

When you die, why not get cremated? And then why not go one step further and have your ashes blown apart into a million pieces in a firey nighttime explosion in the sky? Packages start at just $3250.

Last Comic Standing was pretty funny last year.

The second season starts on June 8th. But there is controversy!

You know in the beginning how they have the celebrity judges who whittle down the list of applicants until they decide on 10 comedians who then go on to live in a house together? Well it turns out those ‘celebrity judges’ don’t have any decision-making power at all.

Drew Carey and Brett Butler, two of this season’s judges, have made it clear that their votes didn’t count for anything, and that the final decision was ultimately made by the show’s producers.

Be that as it may, I’m sure it’ll still be fun to watch.

Saturday we went to California Adventure with Stacy and Steve and some of her relatives who were visiting California.

I’m not sure how it happened, but I managed to get myself into the hot seat at Who Wants to Be a Millionaire – Play It! I made it up to the 64,000 point question before I crashed, but it was a heck of a lot of fun being up there with the audience cheering me on.

I got 10 collectable pins (one for every right answer I gave,) a hat for hitting 1,000 points, and a polo shirt for hitting 32,000. The grand prize for correctly answering the 1,000,000 point question was a three night cruise to the Bahamas for four. I knew I didn’t have a chance at going all the way, so I made sure to use all of my lifelines before I got taken out.

When I finished my run I went backstage to fill out paperwork and collect my winnings. The guy said they get a million point winner on average about twice a month. That’s pretty good for a show that runs five shows per day, just three days a week. I’m not allowed to play again for 30 days, but now that I’ve got the fire in me I think I’ll try to shoot for a million one of these days!

My $10 drugstore sunglasses might work just as well as a $300 pair of Oakleys, but they’ll never look as cool.

I’ve been watching a lot of Law & Order lately. It’s a great show!

I like all three of the L&O shows except for Criminal Intent. This guy is just too weird for me. He sorta spoils it.

THX 1138 is coming to DVD, and it has been digitally sexed-up with new added computer effects and everything, just like the original three Star Wars movies. Watch the trailer (if you can find it – good luck) to see what I mean.

This film was George Lucas’ first, and they’ve managed to repackage it in a way that makes it looks relatively recent. In fact I bet they could even get away with re-releasing this in theaters.
