This is the flag that flew on my grandfather’s ship during World War II.

Times are tough. I could not afford to get you a proper gift. Please enjoy this list of holiday MP3s. I trust they’ll make your holidays merry and bright.

Let’s start with the numbers…

8 Bit Jesus – songs of the season with a heavy helping of classic Nintendo mixed in.
XPN Local: 12 Days of Music (hint: The Swimmers = day 2)
Amazon’s 25 Days of Free
Sufjan Steven’s: Songs for Christmas Volume 8
Kindercore’s Christmas IV… and Hanukkah!
Santastic Four – Awesome mashups/remixes

And now for the words…

I AM FUEL YOU ARE FRIENDS has a well constructed “Naughty and Nice” mix
AM, then FM is chock full of holiday jams. Be sure to check out the surrounding posts!
Here’s The Beatles fan club stuff on somebone’s livejournal.

Christmas Time Is Here on Indie Muse
My friend Kelly found these Bela Fleck gems: The 12 Days of Christmas and God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
I Heart Lung’s “I Heart Christmas“

And for the mother lode of penultimate holiday tuneage (hyperbole much?) check out Leather Canary’s “Tis The Season” post. Wow.

Special thanks to: Brian Branca, Heather Myers, Ken Mueller and Jim Cavanagh for sharing links. If I forgot to include you in the credits, let me know and I will be sure to add you!

Beer Me

These days I am enjoying “cask conditioned” bottled Philadelphia Brewing Co. beer. In other words, I keep it in the basement and drink it at room temperature. Fancy, not desperate.

It’s still on… but I wonder.

Welcome first time holaolah twitter friends/followers. I am a failed blogger. But you have to admit that I am the cats pajamas at the micro-blogging thing. I do have larger thoughts sometimes, so I will keep the holaolah blog (since fall 2005, might I add) up and running for a time when life slows down and I can make macro blogs again. Nice to meet ya, thanks for visiting, keep in touch.

Yesterday we were cruising around the Web looking for a couch for our soon to be completed office. During the course of our travels we came across this curious cushioned oddity. If you’re from South Jersey I am sure you’ll find it odd as well.

Call For Comments: The Dark Knight

Did you find Batman: The Dark Knight worthy of your time/dime? This is a question posed mainly to Kyle, but I’d also love to know what you think.

When the posts are scant…

A Long Overdue Shout Out

holaolah — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 22:41:11 +0000

I miss working on the farm with my new/old buddies Elam "Eazy-E" Zook and his trusty sidekick Blue. You can thank them for my "when animals attack" profile photo. He’s a unique soul that Elam: an Amish Unitarian Grandpa whose gears are always turning to find ways to work smarter (as opposed to harder). And he’s a blogger to boot. Blue, well, he’s a black dog with one blue eye. He’s a hell of a field mouse hunter as well.

We only worked together for a season, but I think I made some friends for life. Awww!
