Blog Title: A NEW DAY FOR FROG COLA

I Am Going On A Cruise From NYC To Spain!

Here is a list of every thing I will bring.

1. Dir En Grey - It is the only metal I will bring on the ship.
2. Mostly T-shirts - They are the easiest thing to pack in a suitcase.
3. Soul Calibur IV - I am hoping that someone I will meet on the ship will have an Xbox 360 in their room.
4. Extra Toothbrushes - When guests congregate in my suite, if we eat sugary snacks I will provide them.
5. Brazillian Techno - I've never met anyone who is put-off by it. Everyone likes the rythms.
6. A Book Of Victorian Parlor Games - I'll read three of them to people and they don't want me to read another, they want to play those three.
7. A Guitar - When someone on the ship who plays this instrument sees that I brought it, he/she will be very happy and play for us.
8. DVD copy of "Big Trouble In Little China" - Everyone worships me for bringing it.
9. Extra Sunblock - Sharing your sunblock shows you care.
10. Musical Notes - I always try to get the piano player to play Bach instead of Elton John. So I bring the sheet music.
11. A Deck of Cards - So no one has to buy a deck when someone calls for a game of cards.
12. Expensive Herbal Tea - I offer it to my friends on a cold night in the Atlantic Ocean. All are very pleased.
13. Five Pairs Of Shoes - People appreciate you when you wear appropriate footwear to social functions.
14. A Harmonica - Always, there is someone who wants to amuse him/herself by playing it. And they will remember you.
15. DVD copy of famous Flamenco players - We are going to Spain, after all.
16. Ping Pong Paddles - In case there is a shortage which often happens on a cruise ship.
17. Chai - I have to make my own on a ship. Cruise ships are not known for (or expected to) have authentic Chai.
18. Notepad and Pen - To get everyone's email address so I can send digital photos of our adventure aboard the ship.
19. Superball - When adults see this novelty toy of their youth, they become sentimental and nostalgic.
20. Superglue - Things break. Cruise ships don't have any. Being the one with the glue saves the day.

I must go pack my suitcase. I'm going to Spain!

Casual Advice For Those Opening A Chinese-Food Restaurant In America

1. Please, don't call the restaurant Great Taste! We have one in Milwaukee on North Ave. There are many better choices to name the restaurant. The reason for this is, it goes without saying that the food will taste great.
2. I made my New Years Eve plans back in October, and I am sticking to them. To opt-out would be tasteless and rude.
3. My friend Gerard invited me to France. I said, may I come in June instead? He smiled and said, certainly. I could sense his smile over the phone.
4. If someone has Xbox Live and they never use it can the code be given away? If so will you give me one? I will use it often, lol.
5. I hope that everyone who is on Livejournal has a safe and fantastic New Years Eve and 2009.

5. I intend to live like a Sultan. For that reason my very large cup is always full of herbal tea.
6. Herbs are God's true children.
7. Music (or art) does not need to be intended as psychedelic to be psychedelic. The anti-psychedelic category of society has no understanding of this.
8. I seek out drum n bass music as much as the next guy. I've been moderately successful but not very successful.

3. Wolfgang, we won't ever forget you. They'll be talking about you in 500 years and 5,000.

10. The snow comes down by the 2,000 pounds (ton).

A Brief Article About Swedish Influence In The United States (2008)

1. Some say that Swedish influence is profound in America. Especially, Minnesota and Northern Wisconsin.
2. I don't agree, because I can't name any Swedish classical composers or philosophers.
3. I suspect there is a lot of Swedish philosophy texts that are not translated into English. Is this true?
4. The only place I can learn about Swedish thought is at the University. I don't want to pay so much cash to go there.
5. Maybe the Swedish community center in town will have a library?
6. Swedish thought seems to be neatly organized, very scientific. I long for this kind of influence in all of society.
7. Swedish language seems to be very controlled (as opposed to arbitrary) and it is an "even" language where English and Danish are "odd" languages (and they're also rather arbitrary.)
8. What America needs is Swedish influence, along with Eastern (Asian) influence, in our daily lives. It is the fastest road to harmony.
9. I wish the Swedes would be more active about shaping America in their image, as they have done in Canada.
10. I am from Wisconsin and a fellow Wisconsiner was the one who said America is profoundly Swedish. Maybe up north, but not so much here in Milwaukee. But my interest in Swedish thought came from somewhere. So he is right! There is a Swedish influence, even here.

More Internet Tools (For You)

The built an algorithm that translates your words and also handles the semantics and jargon and so on. This website could save a man 1,000 hours of time. And time, of course, is limited to us all.
3. Now this one widens my eyes a bit. If you are in North America and you want to call anywhere on this continent for free, there is Earth Caller. There is no software to install! And it is full of nice options and features.
4. If you need to send a fake e-mail, there is Deadfake. And don't do anything naughty with it!

2. www.allmusic.com has been around a long time and it is instrumental in finding artists in even the most obscure genres.
3. Turkish pop music that is influenced strongly by Traditional songs is what I like on Shoutcast radio.
4. Shoutcast radio stations play some very interesting "ambient" drum and bass. It's heavy on beats, with some dreamy ambient themes and some lounge-y ambient themes. I like this direction of dnb because it has some things in common with intelligent dance music (idm).

2. Google.com says that the www is threatened by new laws regarding cable companies. Sorry, I lost the url.

"Am I on the right bus?" in Norwegian is:

Er jeg på riktig buss?

In Russian, it is:

هل أنا على حق حافلة؟

Roy G. Biv & The Black Rainbow

1. Do you like the www? If you do, write an essay about it and post it.
2. MP3 Grabbers is the buzzword of the www. Nowadays anything that streams can be grabbed.
3. For about nine months I decided that no music was the best music. I enjoyed silence instead.
4. Now, I want music again. Today I got Chopin, Mahler, Brahms, and some Traditional Chinese Music.
5. I also like film scores. "Scores" and "soundtracks" are nebulous on the www. One is frequently called the other.
6. The Dune soundtrack / score is very nice. I think most people will like it.
7. Brad used an internet search engine to find Chinese poetry. He read it for three hours in his bedchamber.
8. Rudolf used an internet search engine to find out how to cook an egg. No one else was around to tell him how.
9. Frank bet $700 on a horse. He won $2000. But his wife, opposed to gambling, made him give it to charity.
10. Donna lauged loudly in a restaurant. The restaurant owner liked her so much, he gave her her food for free.

Open The Door To The Glorious Next Moment (In Your Life)

1. Last.fm is a true king of the www. With your Winamp scrobbler, you can keep very precise track of your music taste. And if others wish to, they can learn all about music from another user's last.fm page.
2. Emusic.com was so cool about 3 years ago. Their rates were very generous, once. You could download 500 MP3s in a few hours.
3. Stumble Upon is on the move. Did I mention how great their service will be in a year from now?
4. It is far too cold outside. 10 F is too cold. A Polite December In Wisconsin is an epic poem about one December where the weather was in the 30s and 40s F. The author is unknown.
5. They should build a library someplace and have only books and writings that written by unknown people.
6. Vietnamese people may not be acustomed to black tea. But that doesn't mean they won't try some. So, use your good taste and get a UK breakfast tea or else a good Ceylon. Don't serve cheap black Chinese tea, it is the least desirable of all teas.
7. I get a bigwoody when listening to the "Star Wars Episode III" score, do you? Or if you are a lady do you get happy?
8. You just can't Digg like you can with the StumbleUpon toolbar, they say.
9. I have about 5 GB of Hindi music, about 2 GB of Bollywood, and my taste in Bollywood is very traditional. If it sounds like club music, I don't want it. I prefer Bollywood music from before 1990. Some of the modern Bollywood albums sound purely American. I presume American kids are listening to it as club music without realizing where the genre came from.
10. I have good news! Today is the day for you to begin your journey with The Tao. Here, you will find answers to all of your most difficult questions. I promise!

A Summary Of Joe's Music Likings As Of December, 2008

1. I am a diligent soulseeker! I have mastered this software. I download very long songs from people with fast connections.
2. I find the biggest files in my classical music searches and download those. It is very satisfying to have complete pieces of music instead of excerpts.
3. I download classical randomly. I acquire ten or more different composers every day.
4. Now that I have a four-port USB hub I can fill my iPod to capacity.
5. I like Frank Sinatra. I am looking for his lesser-known songs.
6. I like bluegrass and surf-rock. I think there are some remarkable music-theory in these genres.
7. The Secret Chiefs 3 is my favorite band. Trey Spruance is one of my personal gods.
8. I interviewed Trey Spruance, for a Mr. Bungle interview. I will find that and post it soon.
9. My time spent interacting with Trey was brief. My personal conduct was snooty. For that reason I won't contact him again.
10. Why would I be snooty with Trey? I was such an overzealous fan when "California" was released in 1999.
11. I know people who go to Barnes & Noble to order the whole Secret Chiefs 3 catalogue.
12. Spruance and Patton is very much like Page and Plant. Yet no one says that!
13. I am wondering if I own any kind of MP3-ripper. In this day in age, I don't expect that there are none for free.
14. I deleted about 12 GB of death metal. I just don't need it anymore. Death metal is part of my past.
15. I like truly progressive metal like Burnt By The Sun and Voivod.
16. I have bizarre binges of black metal. I'll like black metal to-death for a few weeks, then I won't listen to a single black metal track for 8 months.
17. Drum and Bass is hard to find for me and I am MP3-finding literate. I just can't find anything on soulseek! Maybe I'm dumb.
18. Ohhhhhhhhh do I love Beethoven's 9th with the chorus. Please, please, listen to me, get this.
19. Choral classical is very soothing and mentally-restoring.
20. Chamber music is very stimulating, like a coffee with espresso in it. Or an herbal tea with ten-or-more different herbs in it.
21. Modest Mussorgsky is under rated. I am eager to hear every famous Russian composer there is.
22. I found some 19th century composers from Denmark once, and I thought they were dreamy. Grand.
23. I forgot the names of these Danes, and I don't remember where I learned of them (online).
24. Who are the famous Swedish composers?
25. I can't sit through Metallica songs anymore. Except for "And Justice For All". That one still gives me an intellectual boner.

Delicious.com Part II

In my last post, I posted a Delicious.com html, which, did not show up when I loaded the site. I am terribly sorry to direct your attention at a malfunctioning html code, that makes me feel very rude.

In the case that you want to see my links, go here: to this page right here. Add me if you want.

(The Return Of) Happy Time Fun Hour

Preface: Happy Time Fun Hour was once a mainstay. Lots of people liked it. But then it mysteriously disappeared. Now, it's back.

1. First and foremost is the 56 K Modem Emulator. I haven't heard this sweet sound in over five years. Some of you haven't heard it in ten.
2. Do you have something on your mind that you need to confess? There is GroupHug.us where many people go to do this very thing, anonymously. It says the Vatican is a fan of this website. Me personally I don't know where else to turn.
3. I bet you quite like it when you find a useful url that has 153 useful urls on it. Get one of these at Populair.eu.
4. My next point is not a link but a suggestion that Delicious.com should allow users to open links in a new tab (in Firefox) and not load the page in the existing tab.
5. My next link for you is called Ipod Hacks. Useful and self-explanatory. Software, applications, and techniques. Get more out of your device! You've no reason not to!
6. Someone like yourself probably would enjoy reading some of the basics (or classics) in the category of books called Eastern Religion texts. Learn all about The Tao, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Confucius. A very nice website called Hermetics.org. If you like this one, be sure to explore the rest of the site because there are many other texts for free.
7. Here's a link that I was quick about emailing to my younger brother. It is the Explanation of Yin and Yang. You should send this link to your younger brother.
8. This next link is for listeners of music (any kind will do.) Grooveshark has streaming-MP3s. They have a quite large supply. You can listen to just about any song here. Really great for sampling artists that you have been considering.
9. I've been looking for a Metric System Conversion Kit and this one here is free. I go to Edinburgh, Scotland every summer and there of course they use the Metric System and when I am browsing the shops in the city and I want to buy two pounds of tea I can easily find out that two pounds of tea is about 907 grams.
10. Google Labs is worth mentioning. It has beta versions of future Google releases.
11. You will like the Meta Glossary search engine like a ray of sun through your window on a very joyous day.
12. When it comes to the Theory of Evolution, there's no harm done taking the time to read about all sides of the debate. If you want some literature that criticizes common criticisms of this subject, go here.
13. This next one is a video, and a very old one at-that. It has some Japanese people doing acrobats. It's from 1904!
