The Ruminator graciously points me towards Collectorz, a site which will create a database of your music or movies through your insertion of each CD or DVD into its drawer. It does a lookup to get the data from a database, then loads it into a file with your name on it. It looks to be pretty slick, and it has a lot of capabilities I haven't fully read up on yet. More musical news: hot spots in your brain! That's why you get songs stuck in your head! Yet more music: six music retailers are banding together to sell downloads.
Superbowl ads: Was I the only one who thought Budweiser wrote off the entire female half of the population with the misogyny displayed in every one of their ads? I loved the FedEx ad. One that hopefully will fade from memory quickly was the Dodge beef jerky ad; disgusting doesn't quite do it the injustice it deserves. I might actually buy one of those Hanes tagless shirts, though, if I ever wore undershirts. (There, Faith; am I living up to that award yet?)
In case you wondered what the hell happened (and is still happening off-and-on) to the Internet Saturday and Sunday, here's the scoop.

Posted by: skits at January 27, 2003 02:43 PMWith the Fedex ad it helps to know the plot of "Castaway;" I didn't see the flick, but Lord knows I got enough exposure to the premise.

I LOVED the beer commercial where the guy put his dog on his head. Got the giggles from that one.
Posted by: Jen at January 27, 2003 04:57 PMFound your website from Egale Eye View who host my blog ~ great site ~ I can completely understand about the worm affecting your process of posting since it has affected ours as well and also where my hubby works their server was affected as well ~ he is in the cell phone industry.
As far as the ad's during Super Bowl, I missed them all ~ didn't watch the Super Bowl, no team was playing I felt the need to watch for such a long period of time. But I hate I missed the commercials.
Posted by: Jamie at January 27, 2003 05:52 PMYes, Jen--that was my favorite commercial too!!
No one has mentioned it, and I thought it was so cute. And it featured bars and beer, so what wasn't for the SB Fans to like?
