Some friends of mine in Chicago just relaunched their girly undies site, I See France.

Go buy your lady friend some undies.

If you are reading this right now, stop and go outside to look at the moon.

Quoth the random group of people on my roof:

“It looks like a not quite ripe red wine grape.”

“It looks like a ping pong ball in front of a light bulb.”

“It looks like an angry testicle!” (said with a funny voice that must be used when repeating this quote)

I just added a little ‘Recent Links‘ thing to the sidebar. It uses WP Recent Links and is pretty nifty.

I wanted them to show up between the blog posts, but I just can’t be bothered to hack it into submission.

So there I was… Sitting in a small coffee shop in the east village, when I look at my coffee cup and notice the cup cozy (is that the right name?) has an ad for a “Hyundai Tucson.” Well, considering I just moved here from Tucson, I thought that was an interesting coincidence.

So I went to check out the website – http://www.hyundaitucson.com – and the first thing I see is a picture of this ‘Tucson’ on a beach in front of the ocean. For those of you who don’t see the hilarity in this, let me inform you that Tucson is in the middle of a huge desert, and the closest beach is at least a four hour drive away. Maybe there is some other Tucson with a beach that I just don’t know about.

We just finished up version 1 of the XM Radio Online player. I’ve been working on the UI for this for the last few weeks, hooking it up to their XML back end and wrestling with the Windows Media Player plugin setup. Unfortunately it will only play on Internet Explorer on a PC because of a previously mentioned problem I encountered when building it, which is really too bad considering I don’t even own a PC to enjoy this on (I’ve been enjoying OS X for the last year or so).

Go sign up for the free three day trial and check it out.

UPDATE: The Windows Media Player 10 version launched today – grab WMP 10 and hit the dropdown in the top right corner and select XM Radio.

UPDATE (10-23-2004): I just realized I forgot to mention a little easter egg in the online player: you can use your arrow keys on the keyboard to navigate the channels and the spacebar selects them.
