Still haven't purchased your new 20GB iPod? No worries. If you're called on to present or perform at this year's Grammy Awards, you'll find one in the gift bag that's handed to each presenter. And at $499 it's not the most expensive goodie you'll find in your gift bag. [thanks to MacMerc for the pointer].

Wow. A new discovery for me. Word Jazz. I guess I've been aware of this art form. But I gotta admit that I've not really given it much attention. I guess lack of exposure. And lack of motivation to search it out. So when I followed Marc'spointer to Ken Nordine'sSix Commercials In Search of a Client 6mb .mp3 file. Great stuff. The advertising guy in my was intrigued. My cynical side stimulated. And the creative artist exposed to a new art form to explore. It's likely you've heard Ken Nordine's voice. A top voice over talent. Which makes his "Six Commercials" even more ironic. The link about Ken Nordine and the Grateful Dead I found especially interesting.

Attended a great tasting of six vintages of Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon and its 2001 Sauvignon Blanc this week at one of my favorite fine dining establishments in Orange County: Pinot Provence.
