As most of you Addison Roadies know, I am a huge fan of cigarettes. I’m sure I’m addicted, and will most likely meet my maker whilst firing up a Marlboro Light. But, they’re just so damn delicious!

However, if I wanted to Keep Kids From Smoking, I would just start running this vintage Cigarette Jingle. No way would smoking be “cool” for the youngsters if they associated the practice with this little ditty.
More fun jingles here…

So, today I have to write a whole series of syllabi for the classes I’m teaching this fall. I figured the best way to get in the right mindset would be by creating one minute and 12 seconds of pure audio drivel. Enjoy. Or not.

Those of you who have been following the 30dropframe.com madness will recognize some of the sounds as a straight rip-off from the song 10 days.

I’ve decided to start a new feature here at Addison Rd. (With Sir Mike’s approval, of course…)

Since quite a few of us spend our days reading websites with names like “Gear Slutz” and “Gizmodo“, it’s safe to assume that we’re a bunch of dirty gadget consumers. So, once in a while, I’ll be compelled to post about some fabulous deal I’ve found on the interwebs. Here’s a good one for ya:
