Alright, so I thought I had something for each letter turns out Q was a tough one.

So in a sense Darmuzz reintroduced me to th...

Being an astute observer of humans and social groups I have, probably relatively late, come to the conclusion that we are seeing several growing pains and interesting phenomenon unique to MOG growing up.1) Death Cab For Cutie - has created the MOG-nomenom of swaming where a bunch of people join MOG in the hopes of (perhaps vainly) interacting with their musical heroes.Swarming temporarily will ...

So, what is the favored portable music player out there? My guess would, quite obviously, be the iPod, Apple's amazing little player that holds some ungodly amount of market share, like 83%. But, the Zune is coming out in a month of so, we may have a competitor, everybody says. But here's my opinion - if you say it's a competitor, it's not. The only thing that's gonna dislodge the iPod fro...
