2007 Music Year in Review →
It’s been a while since I’ve written any sort of music-themed year-end wrap-up (three hyphenated words in a row!), but I’ve really enjoyed a lot of new music this year, so I thought I’d share. In alphabetical order, here are my favorite albums of this year. Tom Baker Quartet: Look What I Found It’s rare that a new jazz album catches my ear any more, but when I got...

The Candidates on Medical Marijuana →
There’s a great set of videos of the presidential candidates coming face-to-face with individuals whose use of medical marijuana is keeping them alive (or people asking questions on their behalf). They’re asked for their position on medical marijuana and whether or not they support raids on those using it (“Would you arrest me and my doctors?”).Here’s a quick rundown...

Back on this post, I mentioned that the Thursday Night Live section of the show wasn’t included. Reader Tom (also the first person to ever contact me about old PRB shows, it should be noted) wrote in:

Hey folks… sorry it’s been a quiet December around these parts. Things should pick up in the new year.
Even though I haven’t been writing much, I have been doing some work on the site. For one, the recipes are back online. These are recipes that were posted on the previous version of the site, but didn’t make it over when I switched to Wordpress. A few people had written in asking for old...

Food: Milk Prices Up 23.2% In 2007
The Consumerist links to a CNN Money article, saying that “milk prices have soared 23.2% through November of this year, and people are cutting back on the amount of milk that they purchase.” Nice.

The Holiday Post →
Hey there. Did you know it’s the holiday season? We were a little late with everything this year, but at least most of our cards will hit the mailbox before Christmas rolls around. My attempt to spread some cheer comes in the form of links to other blogs o’ mine and a rehashing of an old podcast.
