    Voce actress and radio talk show host April Winchell has, on her website, a multimedia section that has to be heard to be believed. I found it while looking for Mary Schneider yodeling the classics, but I stayed for Cooking with Vincent Price, Phyllis Diller singing Satisfaction, Shooby Taylor’s scat karaoke and Uri Geller’s singing […]

  • Victory!

    Yay, I have my big old 21″ CRT monitor back. The desktop guys weren’t that surprised; apparently I’m not the first to find the 1280×1024 worse than dealing with a grumpy CRT.
