Another Good Artist from Sweden

Going a little far afield again, this is another artist from Sweden whom I’m getting to like.  His name is Adam Tensta.  I like this particular song, “My Cool,” especially for the beat, the DJ work, and the lady with the pierced tongue and cool hair:

Working on the About Page (Again)

I’ve worked a little more on the About page, which I’ve been rewriting and revising ever since I started this blog.  I always think it’s good to have an “About” page, and I think it’s sort of a copout that so many blogs lack one.  (I can understand with some of the radical-left political blogs, [...]

I haven’t mentioned this before, but if and when I ever make my trip to India, I’d like my first stop to be Kerala, a state in southern India that’s fascinated me for a while.  Some people might wonder what’s so interesting about Kerala?
