I’ve now gotten Pedigreed… now I can find out what blogs are inspired by this one:

I’m putting this here rather than in the site template; I don’t want to make the site design even busier.

CNN.com – Skakel gets 20 years to life for Moxley killing – August 29, 2002
I think this will be the first Kennedy relative to go to prison…

Well, I’m guessing that the folks who run Blogger are at Gnomedex, as I’ve not yet had an answer on this problem: while this blog looks fine on Internet Explorer, it’s messed up on the different flavors of Gecko browsers. Each post gets progressively smaller in font size, until it’s practically dots by the end [...]

Charles Bronson is the latest star announced as having Alzheimer’s disease. He’s 80 years old.
Bronson is famous for the Death Wish movie series, and helped contribute to Sergio Leone’s Spaghetti western films years ago.

I’m grateful to AOL. Why? Because they provided me with two new drink coasters…
Oh, I know it’s part of their non-stop campaign for new users, when they send out their CDs in the mailbox… but I never plan to join them – and since they switched to CDs from diskettes (which I could reformat and [...]

Further stuff on Elvis: I saw a show on Bravo tonight, speaking with friends and former lovers about the King.
First off, Colonel Tom Parker was a cold-hearted bastard. When told of Elvis’ death, he said something to the effect of “Nothing has changed. I’ll still get my 50 percent.”. Nice to know Elvis [...]

This isn’t jazz-related, but it does tie in with a musically significant icon:
Tomorrow marks the 25th anniversary of the death of Elvis Presley.

One fact [...]

Man… I’m currently staying in my air-conditioned bedroom. The heat is unbearable right now!
There’s an old joke about Canada: when it’s mentioned, people almost automatically ask, “Don’t you have to wear your winter coat all the time?”
Well, this summer we’ve seen record-breaking heat of over 30 degrees Celsius (that’s over 90 Fahrenheit). Today’s high was [...]

I mentioned my re-attempt to enjoy a Diana Kraal CD here awhile ago… thinking of it reminds me how much I wish Holly Cole was releasing a new album soon.
Between me and my friend Pat, we have pretty much everything that she ever released on CD or (*gasp!* low tech here) cassette tape.
I think it’s [...]

This seems to be the week for sad celebrity news… first Josh Ryan Evans (the supposed youngest trial lawyer on Ally McBeal and the silly character Timmy on the sillier Passions) died at the way too young age of 20… now Charlton Heston announced that he has a neurological condition similar to Alzheimer’s Disease.
I don’t [...]
