Microsoft Songsmith Disasters

Follow this LINK for more info.


Microsoft Songsmith is a horrible and cheesy new program that creates a goofy little electronic song out of whatever gibberish singing you sing. Witness this HORRIFIC demo/Advertisement:




Obviously, a deranged and destined-to-fail idea.

Across this fine land, people have stripped the vocal tracks from songs used for Rock Band and Guitar Hero and fed them into Microsoft Songsmith, and some of the results are pretty entertaining. Quality cornball remixes.

Thee Edibles: ONE

Cavatappi with Chorizo & Black Beans

I figure you'd might as well see what we're eating.
It's got to be more interesting than Satanic album covers.

This was dinner.
This was delicious.




3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, sliced thin
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 pound cured chorizo
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup canned black beans
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound cavatappi pasta
1/3 cup fresh parsley

* In a large frying pan, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion and saute until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, oregano, and chili powder and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.

* Add the chorizo, tomato paste, and broth to pan and stir. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Add the black beans, lime juice and salt and remove the pan from the heat.

* In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the cavatappi until just done, about 13 minutes. Drain; toss with the sauce and parsley

Shimone Potpourri Part II

More with the precious infant, and the parents.
Again, like last time -- insert your own witty quip.
