Doodled

Les Paul would’ve been in 96 today (9 June). In honor of his birthday, Google has created what I think is their best Doodle of all time. It’s an interactive guitar. You can strum the strings with your mouse, or play it via your keyboard.

Need a little explanation of the “instrument”? The Huffington Post has a getting started article. And here’s my short little creation using the guitar Doodle. Practice, record something, and leave a link in the comments. With the musical talents in our family, this should be fun!

And if for some reason you are just now reading this and it’s not the 9th anymore, you can see the Les Paul Doodle here.

Christmas 2011 List

OK, over the Memorial Day weekend, a majority of you said to go ahead and do the name draw for Christmas this year. I’ll also email this list out to you all. (As a side note, after I left XETV I merged my work contacts with my Yahoo contacts and some of the preferred email addresses got jumbled up. Now I don’t know if which of the several email addresses I have from some of you are your preferred email – or even work anymore. If you get this email from a different email address than your preferred email, please let me know what your preferred email address is. Or if you don’t get the email, please let me know as well.)

So without further ado, here’s the list:
Jere has Trish
Becky has Josh
Melissa has Jere
Joe has Chris
Justin has Catherine
Laurie has Stephen
Will has Becky
Trish has Justin
Catherine has Leah
Chris has Amy
Leah has Matt
Josh has Joe
Andrea has Tianna
Stephen has Andrea
Amy has Will
Matt has Laurie
Tianna has Melissa

I made sure no one drew someone from the same household as last year, but if some of you switched and I need to make changes, please let me know.

Please remember the limit is $20. Happy shopping – only 201 days until Christmas!
