I've always thought Kurt was highly overrated. Too bad I can't hang out for the next 200 years and see how he fits in the pantheon of American writers in the future. My expectation? "Kurt who?"

JOHN:
Just what I needed... A little post-nihilist existentialism to brighten my day.
GF:
I tend to agree with you, but if Vonnegut had written nothing but Harrison Bergeron, he justified his existence.

HEY T, G
I loved "Blackbeard", so I forgive his animosity towards mankind. I like to be reminded occassionally that when I take myself to seriously, Vonnegut is there to say sometimes absurdity reigns.

JOHN:
Do you mean Bluebeard? I had to read that in a college Lit class. That was a decent book.
I think the bulk of Vonnegut's "work" wasn't particularly well-written. I would put it several steps below Dave Barry, but Kurt got a pass because he was a Lefty, & the literary types that dominated universities when I had to read him (I can only expect that they're worse now) were mightily impressed with the outlandish things he wrote--especially when they offended the sensibilities of Right-leaning folk... but such is the way of the hoity-toity realm of the "artsy" communities.

Thanks for all of the information. On a side notice, how do you cope with all of the spam you get on your weblog? My new weblog is getting destroyed by random spammers and I've been spending plenty of time and energy deleting feedback its simply not funny. . I get so drained preventing spam that I feed I should stop running a weblog entirely.

While this matter can be very tough for most people, my notion is that there has to be a middle or common ground that we all can find. I do treasure that you've added relevant and intelligent commentary here though. Very much thanks to you!

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

Your internet site came up in my research and I'm taken by what you have composed on this subject. I am presently broadening my inquiry and thus cannot contribute further, notwithstanding, I've bookmarked your website and will be returning to keep up with any succeeding updates. Just Now love it and thanks for allowing my input.

Thanks for posting this article. I'm definitely frustrated with struggling to search out pertinent and intelligent commentary on this subject. Everybody now goes to the very far extremes to either drive home their viewpoint that either: everyone else in the planet is wrong, or two that everyone but them does not really understand the situation. Many thanks for your succinct, relevant insight.

Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and all. However imagine if you added some great visuals or video clips to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this site could definitely be one of the very best in its field. Amazing blog!

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
