There have been smart, educated, beautiful, polite black children for hundreds of years. The advantage that my children have is that my children are encountering the nicest white people that America has ever produced. Let’s hope America keeps producing nicer white people.' ➡

    • MSN Spaces launches Microsoft finally makes their long-rumored debut into the weblogging service arena with MSN Spaces. I got curious, and it's free, so I went ahead and signed up to try it out. ➡
    • Switch to VoIP? If I switched over to both OneLink and VoIP, my final cost would be about $6/month more than what I'm paying now, but the first three months would be cheaper, as you get a 'free three months' for signing up (some of which are offset by the setup costs, but that's expected). All in all, this sounds like a pretty damn good deal to me. ➡

    • [From Usenet: 12.1.93 0608] All I know is that the local Mucusland (Musicland) moved the date in their little book for his new album from October/November to January. Ergh...starting to get torqued at this! ➡
    • [From Usenet 12.1.93 0608] According to a DJ at the local college radio station, there was a sampler put out by Hollywood records a while back with a remix (not remake) of Queen's Stone Cold Crazy, remixed by Trent Reznor. ➡
    • [From Usenet 12.1.93 0542] Personally, I don't have a whole lot, but...Front by Front is good, best track (imho) being #10, Welcome to Paradise ('Hey poor! You don't have to be poor anymore! Jesus is here!') Good sampling. ➡
    • [From Usenet: 12.1.93 0534] Good stuff (imho). New album, while not produced by Reznor, definitely has some of his touch to it...probably picked up some hints while working on the remixes of BLBT(AJF). Nifty...I like it. ➡
