Stuff Only I Care About LXII

Weekly Random Thoughts On The Carolina Panthers

The Panthers shocked the Seahawks last weekend, 13-10. The Panthers are now 6-8, two games behind Minnesota for the second wild-card spot in the NFC.

How in the hell are they still in the playoff hunt?

They play Dallas this weekend. Even though Romo hurt his finger last week and the Cowboys will be playing without their starting center, Dallas will still win, 28-17.

If You Don't Watch Dexter Or Haven't Seen The Season Finale Yet, Please Skip To The Next Item

While I really loved the way they wrapped up the second season of Dexter, part of me felt like it was a series finale and not a season finale. No loose ends. No cliffhangers. Where does the series go in the third season? Will Lt. Laguerta become obsessed with clearing Doakes' name and eventually put the pieces together? Will Debra learn her brother is a serial killer? Will Rita have another new son this year? Will the writers' strike end anytime soon so they can actually start working on a third season?

Not Tired Of Me Talking About Xmas Music Yet?

dj BC did a mashup that combined AC/DC's You Shook Me All Night Long, Sarah McLachlan's Noel, and A Charlie Brown Christmas. Sound brilliant? It is.

Go here to download it (and other Christmas mashups). It's Track #2.

Podcast/Streaming Music

Since a few people wished I had included the actual music in my Rock Out With Your Christmas Stocking Out Xmas Mix Tape, I've been toying around with the notion of streaming music on my site or producing podcasts. If any of you currently do this or know someone who does, I've got a few questions:
  1. Since I'm on Blogger, I can't just upload mp3s to their server. Anyone know of any reliable free (MUST BE FREE) hosts that will allow me to put mp3s or my podcasts on their servers?
  2. What software do you use for streaming music or podcasts?
I'm leaning towards the podcast option just because I'd like to talk about the music in between songs (thus feeding my long dormant inner college dj). Plus it'll give you guys an idea of just how sexy my voice is.

That last part was a joke.
