A few links for you:
- Go to http://www.cumusicawards.com/2006/ to vote for WPGU’s Best of Champaign Urbana Music Awards. I HIGHLY recommend you vote for Elsinore whenever possible.
- WebMonkey has posted their list of the Ten Best Flickr Mashups, which involves online software using Flickr in some innovative way. There is some really cool toys listed over there, take a look.
- Pop Machine, a Chicago Tribune Blog, posted an article about Celebrity gift bags at place like the Academy Awards, Grammy’s, etc., and a particular commenter on the writeup had some rather insightful commentary:
“Celebrity gift bags. Yes, I wholeheartedly endorse the idea of giving away almost $100,000 worth of free goods to people who habitually make $20mil a movie. Goodness knows THEY deserve freebies. Just think about how much they had to spend on their dresses…oh wait. Um, What about their jewelry…oh nm. You know, it would be way cooler if each celebrity did a drawing from their official fan club and bestowed the gift bag on a devoted fan who probably can barely afford $20 to see their favorite star in theatre or on DVD.”
I’ll be back tomorrow (Thursday) with some more Austin links, I’d like to finish those up within two or three more posts, so look forward to it.

Yeah I love the fact that the world’s jewelers and fashionitas like to put great things in a bag for a celebrity and give nothing to the homeless person down the street, or the charity that supports that. Makes me sick quite frankly, and I could also do without the Joan Rivers of the world making things ugly out of the million dollar dresses and earrings that populate the oscars….even though they’re all borrowed. Who cares actually? I guess I don’t.
Dad says…the priorities I love aren’t happening here. But I guess ya’ll knew that. Ha.
Take care.
