Days like today are what make college football season fun. It’s one of those days you wish every Saturday was like, but only a few are. There are some great matchups today: Auburn @ Clemson, Tennessee @ Florida, Ohio State @ Miami and, … Continue reading
September Zune Pass Songs

Thank you to Mike Portnoy
Dear Mike, I’ve been wanting to write this for about a long while now. I wasn’t sure where to send it – I briefly looked and couldn’t find and address although honestly I didn’t look too hard. So on Saturday … Continue reading
June’s Zune Pass Songs
I got a Zune Pass a few months ago. For $14.99/month, it allows you to stream music from the Zune service. (As an aside, shhhh…don’t tell the Apple people that Microsoft has had a music streaming service long before they … Continue reading
