What about Willie, Bob? What about Waylon? Or, going way back, Buck Owens? You know, the guys who invented outlaw country? The guys who made it cool to not follow convention. Do you know anything about these guys?

Yankees Pull Even
Cabrera was hot. Clemens was damned near flawless.
Amazon Prime
I discussed this with my wife and we decided that because Amazon only had five of one book in stock that they were showing preferential treatment to the Prime customers. After all, if they only have 5 in stock, they have to earmark a certain number of any inventory in order to guarantee the 2-day shipment. Because you can sign up for a 30 day trial, I decided to test the theory, canceled my order, signed up for Amazon Prime and place my order again.

Possibly The Best Question Ever
Alan is looking for a way to make TextMate available for free to anyone who purchases a Mac, but he’s running into licensing/agreement issues with Amazon and Apple. This is a question the entire Mac world should be interested in.
Yankee Skank
Man, did the Yankees suck tonight or what? Dear God.
Chicago Is The Last Man Standing
The Chicago Bears stand 3-0 in pre-season, carrying the best record to date. Their defense went an impressive three straight three-and-outs on Saturday, while the offense racked up an impressive 31 points during the first half against 49ers (1-2). The only first down the 49ers managed was on a 2-yard run following a Chicago punt-fark.
Danzig Goes Down The Rabbit Hole
If you watched the video, you (along with every other right-thinking person) knows that Danzig got his ass handed to him. He just can’t live down the legacy. Douche.

McDonald’s Big Mac Turns 40
I remember my first Big Mac. Actually, parts of it are probably still circulating through me somewhere …
Harris vs. The 49ers? Hell No.
Hell, for that matter, put him in a cage and poke with him sticks. Get him really pissed off. We need him healthy and angry for San Diego.
Pre-Season Grossman
Okay, so Grossman had some issues during the game against Indy. Three fumbles and an interception, to be exact. So what? #1, it’s pre-season …
KISSology Volume II
KISS’ Kissology Volume II, 1978 – 1991 DVD set exploded onto the charts, debuting at the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Top Music Video Chart this week. This is impressive when you consider that there’s not much new material on this set. Most of it has been circulating the underground for years.
Sweet Potato
Cracker’s Sweet Potato is one of the coolest songs ever.
Semi-Interesting Developments at Walmart
iTunes is more than the iPod. iTunes represents an experience. You plug your iPod into your computer. You fire up iTunes, browse the iTunes Music Store (iTMS), make a few purchases, then with the click of a button, the songs are on your iPod and you’re ready to go. People who purchase songs from iTMS are invested in more than an individual song. They’re invested in the user experience, which is easier and more straightforward than anything else on the market. Most iTunes users — rightly or wrongly — don’t care about DRM because under the iPod/iTunes/iTMS system, it just works. And that’s what really matters to them. Click, browse, buy, boom. It just works.
