Best of 2008 and other news

I put together a best albums of 2008 list and posted it at the Chicago Independent Radio Project's web site.

Here are a couple of videos from two of my favorite albums this year:





I've just recently joined the board at CHIRP (that is, the Chicago Independent Radio Project. And when I have something to write about music, it generally ends up over on that site, instead of here.

And I've decided to participate in Hourly Comic Day this year. I will post that comic at the my webcomic site (Finn and Charlie are Hitched), and probably also at TenCentTicker.com message board along with all the other people who do it. I hope it ends up a reasonably interesting day.
