Damn those bloody boy bands! I coulda had 8/8.
From BBC NEWS: More than 50 artists have covered the Leonard Cohen 1984 song. See if you can tell who is singing the following versions.
Take the BBC Hallelujah Challenge.

When Craig (aka zoomer) was here he “lent” me his old Supacam with the proviso that I start a video blog. But so far I’ve only added a few very basic home movies to my Live Video page because I still haven’t figured out how to edit stuff. I downloaded some free editing software but it won’t recognise the AVI files from the Supacam. And when I tried using pretty Holly, her MOV files don’t even show up as an option (though they are in the My Videos file). So … help?
Meanwhile, I shot this short video for Craig the other day.
He’ll know why and will maybe tell you his “tuna story”.

I saw this on the BBC News yesterday and couldn’t believe it – 68 years old???
Wow.

Cute, huh?
I bought this last year to transfer files from the old desktop to the laptop – decided to spend a bit more on the charity Oxfam one (also cos I liked the colour). Since then it’s become very useful for collecting music from friends for my iPod.
Today I remembered that one of my students still had my memory stick from a few weeks ago (I’d left it there to get filled up just before I got sick) and so Nog stopped by on his way home from class to pick it up. And … wow! This guy is a musician and has a couple of shops here (percussion instruments and guitars) and he also has the most amazing CD and MP3 collection I’ve ever seen. And so the very eclectic 2 GB music mix I got today is just the tip of the iceberg.
It also gave me a little project to do this morning (synchronizing my iPod). I mean, there’s only so much reading and DVD watching a girl can do . . .
