Merry Christmas!

Rocking Band from Old Navy Commercial

Finally found Everybody Else, a band that I thought sounds a lot like Blur, especially the lead singer who seems to sound like Damon Albarn. They play the Christmas tune in the Old Navy (and Target? Why do I keep thinking this) commercial. Here's the Old Navy commercial. Here's a bit of the lyrics for those of you trying to figure out who these guys are, like I was:

"Reindeer on the Front Lawn"

You wanna party 'till dawn
With Friends that you can count on
Everybody just wants to gooooooooo
Get your Fashion!

I'm going to have to check these guys out a bit more.

Hi James,

Still working on it. Other than that, there's not much news for 2.0 at present. However, there will be a small bug fix release for 1.0 here shortly. The newly released Java 6.0 causes a nasty bug in 1.0.5....

Julkalender - Caught up again

I forgot how difficult podcasting can be. Especially this Julkalender, where I'm trying to get out one show per day. I'm caught up again, but keeping caught up is difficult. Actually, now, looking at the date, I'm a show behind again. Grrr!

It's nice to be halfway done, but getting there is a bit tiring.

Julkalender

Julkalender is going ok so far. I'm only an episode or two behind. I forgot how much work it is, putting it together. If you are wondering why it's taking so long, well, rest assured that I'm going to finish it at some point, it's just keeping moving that's difficult.
