Favicons in Linklist Gone

As much as I like the little favicons showing in my linklist (EE module written by Yoshi), I had to dump them. I'm tired of my page taking forever to finish loading if anyone's server in my list happens to be down. As I have no desire to save them locally on my own server, I'll have to do without. There is also some other errant code in my template from things I've put in there and then taken out and left straggling code behind. If (when!) I get my new design finished, I'll fix my code. I've never really coded my archives template, I realized. How long have I had this design? Geez. I've never done my about page. I've been such a slacker.

Martini 101.5 FM

Back on March 22 of this year, Denver had a new radio station come in existance, KTNI 101.5 FM. They call themselves "Martini on the Rockies". I generally like the mix of music they're trying to make. They play Brian Setzer Orchestra, Harry Connick, Jr., Frank Sinatra, Norah Jones, etc. Their playlist is not huge; in fact, I have to switch away sometimes because I get a little sick of hearing the same stuff over and over. But hey, that's true of just about every station in the radio market these days. I'm not sure where they broadcast from (the commercial on air says Stasburg?), but the signal can get weak in various parts of Denver. Anywho, they play this one song that I really like called "The Dog Song" by Nellie McKay (lyrics in the extended). I was lamenting that I hadn't won a Blingo iTunes gift certificate in quite awhile and was sad that I couldn't download that song. Well, in today's mail came an iTunes gift card for my birthday from my friend Chrissy! Thanks, woman! So, I got it. Yay!!
