Happy post Thanksgiving to all. I’ve been in Chicago for the turkey holiday, but will be sure to blog about this particularly fattening holiday when I’m back in Seattle.
By the way, you should all go see Slumdog Millionaire. What a great movie.

On Friday evening, Bryan and I embarked on a 315-mile journey from Seattle to Pullman, WA to attend the Apple Cup, an annual football game between Washington’s cross-state rivals, the University of Washington Huskies, and the Washington State University Cougars (and a big thanks to Rich and his lucky wife for the tickets!). In the process, I saw more rolling hills, grain fields, and crimson-covered college students than I’ve seen in my entire life.

After catching the November 11th episode of Loaded on CNET TV, I decided to fire up Google Earth (you can watch the video to see why). On a whim, I turned on the 3D Buildings option in Seattle… and I proceeded to experience complete and utter mesmerization.

Thanks to Pandora, I discovered a new artist who is, for the moment, occupying 100% of my Winamp and iRiver time (well, at least when I’m not listening to NPR). His name is Ryan Farish, and I’d describe his music as a fusion of upbeat piano and electronic ambient, with occasional hints of jazz and new age. His latest album (he’s released quite a few) is Wonderfall, which is the one I downloaded, and I am definitely enjoying it. In fact, this is one of those rare albums where I can honestly say I pretty much like every track on the album. Crazy, isn’t it? Now, there are probably those out there who might view this album as bubblegum music, and, frankly, I guess I can’t really disagree. Regardless, it’s enjoyable music, so what more do you need? Anyway, as soon as his albums are more widely available on Amazon, I’ll probably pick up a few more. And of course, for your listening enjoyment, here’s the requisite sample of his work.
By the way, have you heard of Hulu? Cool site.
