Since I posted it over at WRR, I thought maybe y’all might like to give it a listen as well.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
Woofcast Christmas:
Holiday Music
As I’m sure I have mentioned in the past, every year about this time I like to make up a CD of holiday music to hand out to friends and family. I don’t buy cards, I make CD’s.
Last year I was unable to produce anything due to many reasons that I have since forgotten. It was the first time in 5 years that I missed it. I think this years CD will make up for it!
- Nat King Cole - Christmas Song
- The Carpenters - Sleigh Ride
- Eartha Kitt - Santa Baby
- Burl Ives - Holly Jolly Christmas
- Brenda Lee - Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree
- The Brian Setzer Orchestra - The Nutcracker Suite
- Frank Sinatra - Let it Snow!
- Tony Bennett - My Favorite Things
- Bing Crosby & The Andrew Sisters - mele Kalikimaka
- Bob Atcher & The Dinning Sisters - Christmas Island
- Dean Martin - Baby it’s Cold Outside
- John Williams - Carol of the Bells

Sadly, I can’t make this available for download as none of these tracks are podsafe. But, not to worry! I will be putting up a podsafe holiday mix tomorrow morning that I think you all will like too!
But, ahem, if you would, um :looks around nervously: a copy of this, let me know or leave a comment. I might be able to work something out.
Have a great Holiday everyone!
For those of you not following master jSchwa’s Twitter, he has been picking a band to listen to on Sunday’s. Last week was Rush, for me a piece of cake.
This week he picked Judast Priest. And, since I suffered through it, I figured all y’all could too.
Yes, you must listen to the whole thing. \m/RAWK!\m/
My Uncle’s funeral was today. As far as they go, it was quite a nice affair, really. Lots of pictures, including some old black & whites from his hardcore Jeepin’ days, all of his friends and family too. My cousins arranged the whole bit, including getting the Pastor from their church and he did a great job.
It started in the chapel, then moved out to the gravesite. Cold and drizzling, the congregation moved out under umbrellas and a single canopy with some folding chairs. The Pastor said a few more words, then the Funeral Director. People started back to their cars, slowly, to head over to my Aunt’s for the reception.
As people left, my Aunt and Cousins, understandably, hung back. I was talking with Dad, my brother and his wife while at the same time watching everything going on around me.
I was standing about 20 feet from the coffin. I looked over and saw my cousin reach out and drag his hand across the coffin while his arm was around my Aunt.
Sadness, to me, is one of the most difficult emotions to deal with. It hurts. And seeing my cousins and Aunt at the moment, was possibly the saddest thing I have ever witnessed or experienced. You could not only see the sadness in their faces, but feel it. It was very hard for them to leave.
My Uncle was one of the good guys. Always ready with a joke or willing to help. Always a gracious host as well, he went out of his way to make sure his guest were well taken care of and having a good time.
And he did, one more time, tonight. He will be missed.
Wow. It’s about time.
Internal builds of Internet Explorer 8 have passed the Acid2 test, a complex rendering test designed to demonstrate a browser’s compliance with the letter of the HTML and CSS specs. Currently, Mac OS X browsers OmniWeb and Safari and cross-platform Opera pass the test, as do the betas of Firefox 3.0.
But wait, there is more!
Better interoperability and support for web standards are high priorities for the IE8 team, according to IE general manager Dean Hachamovitch. “The key goal (for the Web Standards Project as well as many other groups and individuals) is interoperability,” wrote Hachamovitch on the IEBlog. “As a developer, I’d prefer to not have to write the same site multiple times for different browsers… With respect to standards and interoperability, our goal in developing Internet Explorer 8 is to support the right set of standards with excellent implementations and do so without breaking the existing web.” A laudable goal, to be sure, but the millions of users still on IE6 ensure that the problem won’t be going away anytime soon.
Follow the link below for the whole story.
So, once IE 8 comes out, and assuming it does everything as well as they are saying, does that mean I can stop supporting IE6? Oh man oh man oh man. Can you imagine? Make a site, test it and it works in all browsers?. I won’t know what to do with myself if I can’t complain about IE. Think of the time and energy I’ll save.
Not sure about you, but I’m actually a little excited about this.
