My Printer Died - An Epitaph
My printer just died. My Epson C60 that I've had for almost 2 years was my buddy. I loved that printer. It was there for me through thick and thin. Sure it had it's quirks and idiosyncrasies like not printing when my office temperature dropped to 17 degrees because I forgot to turn the thermostat up one bitterly cold morning.
I had to open the lid and point a ceramic space heater inside to thaw it out. There were times that it drove me crazy. Sometimes when I asked it to print something for me it would sit there and clean itself for what seemed like an eternity. Whirr - click- pop - pop - whirr - click etc, etc, etc. I could pull my hair out sometimes.
Why does it always do that when I'm in a hurry?My old Epson and me became pretty good friends though. It always treated me good with sharp, detailed prints. I never had to worry about going broke with ink cartridges because the generics I used in her were really cheap and since I bought them from myself I got the VIP discount....

Viva la Venus Rocks Jay Leno and the Tonight Show
If you were watching the Tonight Show on July 11, 2005, you saw a picture of the hot up-and-coming band, Viva la Venus.
Their band photo was featured during the "headlines" segment by Jay Leno. The original article was featured in the Asheville Citizen Times.
Viva la Venus played a show at Fred's Speakeasy.
The show was sponsored by Go-Girls and featured three bands that had between 1 and 3 female members.
The headline read "These Women Rock" referring to the women in all the bands.
Of course, Viva la Venus's picture was large and right next to the headline.
Leno took the opportunity to suggest the long-haired, goatee-wearing male drummer was an unattractive woman.
Members were flattered that Leno found most of the band attractive and hope to prove that the headline is correct.
These women (and one man) really do rock.The photo from the paper was taken outside a club called the Handlebar in SC where the group had...
