So. Wow. I created this Blogger account over a year ago and haven't rouched it since. Huh. Well, maybe this time I might keep it updated more than once every 18 months.

So it's come to my attention recently that I am a much more social person than I have let myself believe. At least, some people whose opinions I trust have told me so. So in the interests to expressing myself, I'm going to start updating my blog with my thoughts and rantings.

On that note, I love my Lyra. I just got a little MP3 player that supports Microsoft's Play-for-Sure: Subscription service and it rocks. So far, at least. With Play-for-Sure, I can download music from my Rhapsody subscription service and take it with me. I love Rhapsody; all the music I want for less than the price of 1 CD per month. The problem is that it's just on my PC. Now, I can d/l songs or entire albums to my Lyra and take it with me. And's it's 100% legal. Now, if I can just convince myself to use the Lyra and go running ;)

So, now I want to figure out a way to create a list on this Blog of what's on my Lyra at any give time. It's only got 512MB of space, so it won't be an iPod-like huge list. But I thought it's be cool to share what I'm listening to and offer a place for others to suggest music for me.

Also, I'm working my way, slowly, through a Dataline article on Ted Haggard, the former head of the National Evangelical Asccociation, that was written a couple months ago, before the scandal was revealed. I had some immediate reactions, which I will share here in good time. But for now, the article can be found here.
