The Vegetable Orchestra

I usually don't post links to YouTube, because, gosh, you've already got too much to do ... however, I can't resist this one, "The Vegetable Orchestra."

Watch how these musicians (in Vienna, I believe) select vegetables from the market, carve them into musical instruments and play them in concert.

Gives a totally new meaning to playing with your food.

Getting Things Done (GTD)

My good friend, Douglas E. Welch, has talked to me about GTD for a long while, and yes, he IS a 'tech junkie.' So, I wasn't surprised at all to hear more about this on NPR ... including some links you'll want to save. I do suppose that reading about GTD is the first step!

World's Largest Record Collection

When John and I moved last year (still within Los Angeles County), we re-discovered our record collection -- 30 linear feet of vinyl albums -- and decided we just HAVE to go through them at some point, to see what we can sell/give away/toss/keep. We still plan to do that, some day soon (smile).

So, yesterday, when I heard on National Public Radio about Paul Mawhinney in Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh-based publisher of the Music Master record price guide, and his collection of 3 million records and 300,000 CDs (that he's planning to offer for sale on Ebay), I couldn't help but share his story with you.
