One Quick Reminder Before I Sleep

It seems that our soldiers abroad are no more thrilled about the "winning surge" than most of the rest of us. Soldiers are donating hard-earned pay to Obama at a 6:1 ratio.

And for those who might be unconvinced or skeptical about what people mean when they say Sarah Palin is a "red meat" Republican, here's another video.

I especially cringed at the images of brave hunters shooting wolves from airplanes. I guess there's a risk they could fall out, or shoot the propeller off the plane? That makes it "sporting," right?

Core YouTubez

Still not the quality of vimeo, but this player accesses slightly more video. While YouTube has its share of problems, it remains the site everyone knows, and the one where you can get more random exposure without trying too hard, than just about anywhere. Of course, so can anyone and everyone else. So it becomes harder and harder to cut through the noise.

This gadget now shows my main "channel" in a somewhat odd way, not reflecting much the way that I've structured the channel to emphasize some items. Instead it seems to show the most recent uploads. But it can be used as a portal to the channel on YouTube itself, almost constantly in flux.

Please visit the main boutique in Second Life, on the northern edge of the Huineng region. The link in the name is a SLURL! Now I need to wash my mouth out with soap.

(It's probably simpler to find the location from my own Picks list. At least as long as SL continues to discriminate against mainland sims by making the SLURL page look like you're teleporting into the middle of an ocean. Still, despite the scary view, the SLURL will get you there too.)

Azadine in Second Life

I do a DJ gig in Second Life, where I go by the avatar name of Azadine Umarov. I have an art gallery there, among other things. You may have been referred to this page by my link from Sasun Steinberg's network of kiosks and her sources of information on art in Second Life.

My regular gig is at the Velvet on Fridays, running from 6 to 8 p.m. (Pacific Time). I also play from 7 to 9 (or later) at the Crow's Foot on Wednesdays.

If you don't want to explore Second Life, you can also hear my shows at those times by way of my Shoutcast stream: http://albeelicious.serverroom.us:4780/ Especially with the Wednesday show, I tend to go overtime if anyone is actually listening.

Also, don't be afraid to contact me if you'd like me to play at your club or event.
