Fat Tuesday
- Listening to WVUM this morning was dope: first a taped show for a couple of minutes (the one with My Pal Foot Foot, same one I hear every morning I turn the station on). Then a DJ comes on, and proceeds aproximately thusly: “Uh, I just stopped by the station to see what was going on, but nobody’s here, so I’m just going to take over. You know we’re doing our fundraising drive, so call me with your pledges. For $5 I’ll play any one song you want. For $25 you get six songs plus a T-shirt. For $50 you get a whole hour. Until I get a call, I’ll play something annoying.” And he proceeds to play Barbie Girl, a pretty amazing song, actually. After a few minutes, he realizes his blunder, comes back on with an “apparently that wasn’t annoying enough,” and starts fading between a few different songs. Arount then I was leaving the station’s range, so I clicked over to something else.
- Hey look, we have a new blog: GreenerMiami, dedicated to improving the enviroment.
- Harlan has photographs of “a creepy carnival” celebrating North Miami’s 80th birthday.
- State lawmakers consider outlawing gay adoption. Stuff like this continues to fascinate me. You’d think by now we would have realized that equal rights for everyone is a good idea.
- MAeX goes to Subtropics.
- Pecan pie is great, but give me a break. Crap like this makes me thing maybe it’s time to move the state capitol to Miami.
- Robert on tolls. I partially agree, though I don’t like systems that have the government tracking our movement as a necessary precondition.
- I agree with Jose about Taqueria. Also, his blog is growing on me.
- Bobby has photographs of a British car show in Lake Worth.
- Hurricanes haven’t hampered tourism.
- I read Franklin’s Damien Hirst bites the big ass review. But I’m forcing myself to stay away from the comments. I don’t have the heart for 15 (and counting) “I know, right?!”s.
- Four months after Kyle berated Miamist about their sidebar, they have yet to link to a single actual Miami blogger. Messed up.
- An artist is being sued becuase a face in his painting looks like someone?! (p.s.: dear New Times, why do your photo galleries look like shit?)
- Three cheers for Miamista, now in downright legible black on white!
- Oh, right, that wine shipping thing went through.

Am I the only one having trouble getting any content on GreenerMiami?? I’m using Firefox, not that it should make a difference.
You’re right, Rick. GreenerMiami is not officially launched, and it doesn’t appear to be working under Firefox. Works fine with Opera and IE on my setup. I may yank the link, pending a response from the author.
Worked like a charm in Safari. Not on Mozilla though.
It’s a great little site. Hope you guys can see it at some point.
Hi everyone! First of all, thanks Alesh for the link. Although I haven’t “officially” launched publicity-wise, the site should be working normally.
It is a TypePad blog, which shouldn’t affect anything, right? So it seems there are problems with Firefox and Mozilla? Any suggestions as to how to fix?
I’m walking out the door, but will try to look into it in a couple of hours.
Hope to see you all back at GreenerMiami soon, and will work on getting that fixed asap.
Manola B uses a Mac??? I might be in love!
How about now? Did I fix it?
