I'm in a very random mood:

New Chili's commerical starring N*Sync. Sorry, but this is stupid. I've got no real problem with the group. If I had to choose a boy-band to listen to, it would be them. But for their first product endorsement, Chili's is a ridiculous choice. There's nothing worse than hearing people who make millions of dollars a year sing "I Want My Baby-Back... Ribs."

Saw Eight Legged Freaks last night. It was entertaining. Completely goofy film, but entertaining none the less. I actually liked it more than MIB II.

Currently Hearing, my Winamp plugin, is doing really well. Everyone beta testing it has had success, and I'm really excited to release it. I need to build a quick site for it (something very simple) and finish the example files for server-side implementation. PHP and Perl are done (on that note—I haven't written Perl in a long time... it was an interesting experience). ASP and CFML will be done tonight. Also considering adding a 'song history' feature for those who want it. I would like to hard code the amount of songs saved, though. Right now I'm thinking 5, but maybe people could comment on this?

Jack's website (which I said would be updated regularly) has been forgotten about. That will change in a day or two. I have a million pictures, just need to do something with them.
