Karaoke anyone?


Okay, so I'm a little old to have been involved in the Dance Dance and Karaoke Revolutions. I don't think we had any revolutions in the 70-80's. But we sure had some timeless music!

Now you can sing it! That's right, the hits of yesterday and today can be sung online, all you need is a microphone, no registration required, over at Karaokeparty.com. What a hoot!

I went for Oasis Wonderwall right away, and I must say, I sound mahvalous. It isn't the original singers like in Karaoke Revolution, but they are rather good. I dare say, if you go visit you will be amused.

Free Wifi

Here are a few fast food restaurants which offer free wi-fi. There are more being added every day, and I hope you'll add one if you don't see it here. BTW, I'm including McDonald's and Starbucks because I have ATT broadband (the cheap one) and therefore, it's free to me. Sorry if that doesn't mean you.

Earth, Discovery Channel Style...



I like this. Didn't make me feel all warm inside like it was supposed to, but it was good. Sorta funny, with some very nice moments.

I liked it. The arachnid guy is my favorite. He's so soft-spoken. I like the mummy lady too. Um, and Mack from Future Weapons (BOOM-be-a-da). He he.

You can see some stars from your favorite Discovery Channel shows. Like Mythbusters.

Real-Life Superheroes

Crimefighting is my bag. Okay, not as much as it is for these guys and girls.

Welcome to the world of real-life superheroes.

That's right, there are people who wear costumes and chase bad guys, complete with martial arts skills and secret weapons. They have Leagues of Justice they belong to. A quote from the definitive website, World Superhero Registry:

A Real-Life Superhero must meet the following minimum criteria to be considered for the registry:

Costume:
The purpose of a costume is not simply to protect the identity of the Real-Life Superhero from criminals that might seek revenge, but to make a statement both to the evil-doers that you fight against and to the world at large: you are not simply someone who happened upon crime or injustice and made an impulsive decision to intervene. You have vowed to actively fight for the betterment of humankind and to serve as an example for others. The costume of a Real-Life Superhero must be of sufficient quality to show some care went into it's creation.

Heroic Deeds:
The purpose behind becoming a Real-Life Superhero must be for the benefit of mankind, and the Heroic Deeds must be of sufficient degree as to exceed normal everyday behavior. If proof of Heroic Deeds is not present, a listing may still be added to the Registry, however, it may be marked as "inactive" or "unconfirmed" in the description.

Personal Motivation:
A Real-Life Superhero cannot be a paid representative of an organization, not even a benevolent one. The motivation to become a Real-Life Superhero must come from the individual: not an advertising gimmick or a public relations campaign.

Citizens, I love your enthusiasm. And your costumes.

Okay, I love it all. Everything. AND, I had no idea you existed.

But then, perhaps that's the way you planned it...
