First off, a very quick note. Normally, I’d just bookmark this on del.icio.us, but I’m way too excited that my favorite radio station, KCRW, will start offering podcasts tomorrow. I’m subscribing to all the feeds right now.
Before I upload my own podcast later this week, I wanna go over some quick misconceptions about podcasting. [...]

I wanted this to be my first post in Spanish … but, before I start writing in Spanish, there are a few things I want to clarify.

Please either press F5 or hit the Refresh button on your browser. I’ve made a few changes to the blog and they won’t show up until you refresh. One of those changes is that I upgraded to the new stable release of WordPress. And it looks like I’m not the only one. I [...]

The rumors are true. My account wasn’t really “lost” and my hard drive didn’t “crash”. I have to admit it: I’ve actually been a paid operative for the Bush administration posting on liberal blogs under the pseudonym “ImNotaRepubISwear”.

I started writing this at 3 a.m. Then I tried to finish packing. Then slept for 45 minutes. Now I’m leaving for Tijuana in five minutes to take a flight to Monterrey. I’ll probably be offline for a couple weeks so I leave you in the unwashed hands of Moreno and Abogado. Paz.
By the time [...]

Update: The Blog Map is now working as it should be. You can use the transparent buttons on the bottom of the map to zoom in and out and pan.
As promised, I have a gift for everyone.
I made it using Mikel Maron’s WorldKit. I really like how you can zoom and pan. So when [...]

i know during all the debate about minorities, education, and the length of HP’s penis by Oso, you my dear reader must have been wondering “where the hell is moreno?” well, let me just tell you where i have been and been again.
Did you see that Superbowl?? neither did I. I heard the Eagles [...]

I was passed the music meme stick by Cindylu.
I. Ten Random Songs
Instructions: Put your MP3 player on “shuffle” and list the first ten songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.

What More Can I Say by the Jay-Z (produced by Danger Mouse on Grey Album)

Note: This is the final post in a series of five. Here are parts one, two, three, and four. Down below, I’m calling people out and asking questions to try and include more people in the conversation.
