I can't count the number of phone calls we received this morning about the Google Chip. Everyone just needs to relax. If you missed the story, Madison is in the running to get Google Fiber. We're up against Mason City, Iowa and Berkeley, California.
So what will put us over the top?
Our friends at Google would like us to each get a small chip put into our fingers. This will help track our shopping habits and will connect us to Google Earth. It sounds like a pretty cool system and Mayor Dave is on board.
So am I.
Kitty seems to be a little scared, but she's always been afraid of new technology. I think we should embrace this plan and we should feel lucky that Google is ready to bring us super-high speed internet connections.
The rest of the world will be very jealous.

Really? This isn't the April Fool's joke?
I'm more afraid than ever.

Okay I was listening to this story this a.m. as heading "nort" to Eau Claire...Is this an April's Fools joke? Otherwise my comment is...if there is a chip in ones finger (I would prefer the middle one) and it captures ones spending habits, etc...will it shock you if you are spending and don't have the money!!!

I'm not sure why Pete Yorn decided to name his new music project after a European cave dwelling aquatic salamander, but if he stops by to play us some songs in Studio M, we'll have to ask him.

Today's song was written by Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary. It was inspired by the 1957 novel Doctor Zhivago. No one was inspired by the song this morning. It was rejected by almost all the listeners.
Today is World Goth Day, a day to celebrate the post-punk, anti-establishment, dark clothes-wearing subculture.
I'm pretty sure I was a Goth for at least for little while, for two reasons.
1) I almost hardly ever wear pastels.

Hello to all from Nfusion. Another round of challenges has moved beyond us all. Congrats to those of us lucky enough to have survived to this point. Sad to see the others eliminated as they were all very creative and talented. Good Bye to our new friends...
This morning it seemed like just about everyone was in the mood for some Funky Cold Medina...except Kitty. This ridiculous song made it all the way to number 3 in 1989. Jonathan says any song that references advertising dogs from the 80's has got...

It's a miracle that both Jonathan and KItty wanted to hear Barry Manilow this morning. They were not alone. Plenty of Fanilow's called in to vote yes. One caller claimed to have seen Manilow in concert 25 times!
