In honor of Halloween , I suggest you check out the movie Idle Hands. This is a perfect Halloween movie. It's got spooky-gory stuff as well as a sense of humor. It's got stoners, zombies, a possessed hand and let's not forget the stunning Jessica Alba as well! So if you can't make it to that costume party, check this movie out!

Today Jerry found out that he and Brad of KRZR's now defunct Front Row Morning Show were #1 in their market for men 18-34, their target audience with 10.3 Share. They beat Stern! They beat everyone! They were #1 and they were still laid off. Unfucking believable!

To quote E. Curtis Johnson, KRZR program director, from the article KRZR's 'Front Row' clears out after 14 years,

"'We live and die by ratings," Johnson says.

Guess it will be a slow horrible death for Clear Channel and KRZR! THE FRONT ROW BEAT FREAKIN' HOWARD STERN!

I have tried to encourage Jerry to start his own podcast. I even made him the artwork here to use royalty free! If you want to hear Jerry do a podcast write to him at lentz2001@yahoo.com and don't ask him, tell him!

Yup, the Video iPod is here.

It's pretty cool. Of course, it makes my 3 month old iPod outdated! It's ok. The video capabilities are brand new on this iPod. Only three hours of battery life while watching videos. I'm sure they will get even better and hard drive space will get even bigger on future models. I still wonder why they didn't go with a widescreen? As of today. Apple is now selling music videos on the iTunes Music Store for $1.99 with DRM. I wonder how many people realized that before today you could get all of the videos Apple posted for free with no DRM? Interesting. Now what I would like to see is a preset in iMovie to export the proper format for the new Video iPod. That will make it easy to create your own content for it.

With all this cool stuff coming out, looks like there's no stopping Apple now!
