Bye bye wrap works washington. We saw them packing it all up. Many a visitor stopped here to learn the ways of dupont.

14th and P Streets, Washington, DC.

Thomas circle has always been one big construction zone. Until now.

And am about to have my thousandth. It’s that Starbucks, right there.  Dupont Circle, Washington, DC.

So YouTube does have it. Too bad iTunes doesn’t yet. They do have the “Save it For Later” song by the English Beat, though (click here to get it). The whole Special Beat Service album is a favorite of mine, still.

In any event, this is in my top 10 videos because it’s a great song to begin with, and on top of that I love the beatnick theme of the visuals paired with it. It captures the spirit of a generation (before mine) that was obsessed with itself, and had the time and privileged to be so. Dave Wakeling looks like he’s having a great time, as do all the patrons in the cave. Will the debutantes dance? Will the philosopher put down his book? Yes! Yes! Yes!

This isn’t out yet, but it’s next on my list, from the former CEO of Hewlett Packard. Already on reserve at the public library. I love a good corporate soap opera. (Click here to get it now on Amazon)

Every day is a winding road. Even in sunny Utah.

Pictures from the recent Human Rights Campaign dinner in Seattle. I will dress up for human rights any day. One thing that impressed me was that the Government of Canada is a sponsor of the Human Rights Campaign. Isn’t it interesting that we have to rely on foreign governments to help assure us of rights in our own country. So, I guess we could say that Canada is involved in “nation building” in the US. Okay, I’ll take it. We could use some help.

This is a new kind of brewing that is sort of like a french press. Tasty!

The iTunes music store finally put up The Cranberries’ “Linger” video up for sale (click here to get it). Ever since the video store came on line, they have had every Cranberries video except this one. I am not a huge Cranberries fan, but I know good video. This one is probably in my top ten of all time. Why? Because it’s beautifully shot, and it just matches the song from start to finish. From the oblivious attractive women with the cigarettes to the flashing motorcycle headlight, it just works. To this day, whenever I am in San Francisco, I usually hear the song on Live 105. Maybe they need to move on, or maybe I need to, or maybe this is that good.

This is my first time posting a YouTube video, by the way. This video is so good, though, it deserves a click over to your iPod. You just never know when you’ll want to see it.

Next request from iTunes: English Beat’s “Save it for Later” (hmm…I wonder if that’s on YouTube).

As the magazine says, gay rights are “in.” Not because it’s the right thing to do. Well partially because of that. But because it makes for good business. Where would your company rate?
