One of my biggest pet peeves is when people mistakenly think that going out in cold weather causes you to catch a cold. A cold is a virus, people! It’s something you catch just like the flu or any other sickness.
Common sense should tell you that a temperature can’t give you a virus, but in case you don’t believe me, take a look at Ask Yahoo!
Today’s the 300th birthday of Ben Franklin. Of course, here in Philadelphia, that’s a huge deal. It’s the kick-off of several months of festivities celebrating the life of our most famous resident.
One of the biggest highlights is a special exhibit at the National Constitution Center. They’ve got a ton of artifacts etc. I need to get over there and see that that before it departs for its world tour.
Find more details about parties, events, special deals, tour packages and more at GoPhila.com/Ben.
UPDATE: View my photos from when I went to the exhibit here.
While I was looking at that ealier story about Elmo I noticed a link to this story. Someone at Wal-Mart swapped out an iPod with a piece of raw meat. Talk about not getting what you paid for!
I buy plenty of meat and never once have I gotten an iPod in the package.
We all know Elmo, the little red guy form Sesame Street. Apparently he’s getting pretty mean in his old age. According to digg.com and diggnation, someone bought some of the talking dolls, reprogrammed them and returned them. After they were returned, the dolls said “Who wants to die?”
Even though this is pretty tasteless, you do have to give credit to the guy who came up with the idea.

You may have noticed that The Gatti Family Tree website is currently offline. I’m sorry to dissapoint anyone who was looking for it. I did not want to take it down but some family issues forced me to.
While there is no estimated time until its return, it will soon be back and better than ever. Keep watching my site for updates.
In the meantime if you are someone who’s doing genealogy research and are looking for any info on the Gatti, Pannazzolo, Monzeglio, Martinetti families please get in touch with me because I’d love to talk to you and compare info.
The front page story of today’s New York Times is an article about diabetes and what an epidemic is becoming. It really makes you stop to think. You probbaly know plenty of people with the disease, but this article really akes it clear that it is VERY quickly climbing the list of the most fatal diseases.
You’ll need to sign up for a free account to read the article (or use Bug Me Not) but it’s worth the effort. This is an important story.
Before I left for work this morning I found that my new software setup was sucessfully recording Scott and Casey. I also heard the first few minutes of the show. It was nice to hear them again. I didn’t hear much but I did hear Casey say that it isn’t their fault that they replaced the old guys. This made me think of the same type of attitudes that were around when they came to and left New Jersey 101.5. (Of course, when they left it was pretty justified since Craig Carton really does have a terrible show.
Apparently their new station, KTRS, gutted its staff before hiring them. Hopefully the listeners in Saint Louis will take to them more than the ones in Detriot did.
Look for more info and discussion about the show over at scottandcasey.net.
Beginning tomorrow, my favorite radio show of all time will be back!!! Scott & Casey, formerly of New Jersey 101.5 have resurfaced in Saint Louis on KTRS!
Scott and Casey will fill the morning drive time slot on KTRS “The Big 550” AM. This station is cool enough to stream so you’ll be able to hear S&C worldwide! I already bought a copy of Audio Hijack and will be recording the stream to listen to on my iPod everyday. It’s been too long since we’ve been able to hear the guys.
A special thanks to Mike of scottandcasey.net (formerly of scottandcaseyfans.com) for letting me know about this exciting turn of events. I really didn’t think we’d be seeing the guys back on the air again.
