He has posted 16 songs, and asked Zune users to rate their top 8.
The top-rated tracks will proceed to Round 2, and successive rounds, until a a winning song is crowned.
It’s a fun way to [...]

Hey all, after a furious bout of far too limited voting (definitely need more ‘rama members plunking down their vote next time!) a winner has reached the top:

I always want to add new tracks to ‘Our Songs’, but Carrie (who you know as ZuneWidow) favors the ones [...]

Zune flash players are available in pink, red, blue, black, and green.
But whenever I see a Zune flash player in the wild, it is almost invariably black.
And store displays of flash players usually indicate that the black players are being depleted more quickly than the colored players. (I took the above pic while in the [...]

I became a naturalized US citizen five years ago, and have been a political junkie for longer than that. Believe me, politics are a lot easier to understand in the states compared to my native land, Canada.
I’m spellbound by this 2008 campaign. It’s a thrill to be on the brink of a truly historic moment in US [...]
