Dear Lovely Readers,Hi.  Karen here.  I want to be the first to tell you janefromer.com is getting a major upgrade in the next few weeks.  There will be a series of updates, including:1. Host Change: I will now be hosted on Laughing Squid servers.2. Platform Change: Blogger will no longer be my method of publishing.  Wordpress will fill that roll.3. Design Change: With the introduction of

Radiohead often times is associated with a depressing mood. Many of their songs, on first listen, can give you an overwhelming sense of melancholy. And even though you soon realize that their music is the greatest of our generation, you still can understand the association of sad faces. While YouTOOBing today, I came across this gem:Either Thom is drunk or high or has just a case of the giggles

As most of you know, I am a HUGE Firefly fan. It is one of my favorite shows...EVER! I fell in love with the show immediately upon viewing the pilot episode and I haven't looked back from Firefly fandom since. The best dream I ever had was when Capt. Malcolm Reynolds himself, asked me to join the crew of the Serenity after I graduated from college. The pain of waking up from that life was

I am a music freak. Like most people my age, I can hardly go any where without having my entire collection of music at hand. Thanks to technology we can do this, at a reasonable price. My 30G iPod Video holds all my music, some videos, and backs up some old photos to boot and it only cost me about $250 two years ago.Even though Apple is a huge ass and makes it hard for users to copy stuff OFF

Remember in school when the teacher told you, "There are no stupid questions"? Now, we all know there ARE stupid questions. From the questions with painfully obvious answers to those that are just plain dumb, you should always ask the question to yourself before you speak up. But I believe teachers told us this because they wanted to encourage discussion. Discussion is a tricky thing. Some

Coldplay is like the ex-girlfriend I'm deciding to give another go, after she decides to knock off the nonsense and step up to the plate. X&Y was Coldplay's nonsense and now Viva La Vida is stepping up to the plate. The album makes up for the disappointment X&Y left in many hearts four years ago. For me, it secures Coldplay's place in the list of bands who have changed their sound without

In tech news, Alltel will be acquired by Verizon. Hopefully this will improve Verizon's service in general. I've been a Verizon user for years. When my parents and I moved back from Korea in 2002, the "everyone owns a cell phone" shift had just began. We initially started with Sprint but then switched to Verizon, which for the most part, was a good move. However, now that I am starting to

Quick Info:"Twilight" by Stephanie Meyers, a vampire/human love story for the teens and apparently love lorn adults, relates well to its intended audience (melodramatic youth). It gives the reader an intriguing start full of jealous love triangles and long meaningful stares.

In effort to have some content on this blog that people actually want to read, I'm going to start publishing regular features. These features will include reviews of media I read/watch/listen/experience. The segments will be broken into "First Impression", "Review", and "List". I will also start writing "How To" articles about getting started on the net and other topics that strike my fancy.

I am hopelessly in love with Radiohead. I thought the concert experience might subconsciously throw me off them for a while, but just now, I listened to Morning Bell and the first word that came to my head was "hopelessly". When Thom sings "Round, and round, and round, and round" and the band kicks in...there's just nothing better than that. On a lighter note, I got my Timbuk 2 bag! It's a

We See Into the FutureAs most of you know, I'm kinda obsessed with time travel and it's subsidiaries. I feel the above article fits within this realm. "It takes a tenth of a second for visual information to get from your eyes to your brain, so everyone has the ability to predict what’s going to happen a tenth of a second into the future."It got me thinking...do we ever experience "right now"?

"Nothing can stop me from having a good time at that concert" - Me, a day ago. In reference to going to see Radiohead on May 11 at Nissan Pavilion.The band:They were great. Thom sounded good. It was funny to see him get pissed off at himself for messing up Faust Arp. The rare tracks they played were my favorites, eg. FAKE PLASTIC TREES. The light show was awesome.The context:It was raining

If any of you know about the musical greatness that is "Polar Bears of the Night" by myself and Ms. Lam, then you'll appreciate this:They truly are enchanting creatures. Worthy of such a song tribute. When I get home I'll be sure to post the song which inspired millions, like these kind folks, to embrace the polar bears!I'd like to think Lam is the one on the right. Ahh, noble polar bear!

I ran across this great quote on a lyric website. People comment on what they think the song is about. It's so great because I was reading this one quote and I thought to myself, "Wow, this is a great comment...profound, intelligent, very positive" Here is the first part:"I think it's about getting lost in the details of life.

Dubai, of the United Arab Emirates, is out of control. It's as though a giant piss contest has emerged from this Middle East metropolis. Here are some current projects:The Burj Dubai, when completed in 2008 will be the tallest building in the world.The Word, man made arpeglios off the coast of Dubai. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have bought a mock African island there.The Palm island

Mid-life Crisisread that.I feel like I'm in store for a heavy mid-life crisis. It's just so "me". "Popularly viewed as a unique developmental birthright of the human species, it supposedly strikes when most of us have finally figured ourselves out — only to discover that we have lost our youth and mortality is on the horizon."I can totally see myself in like 20-25 years, finally have my shit

i can't help it.i find myself staring at people on the train. it is a habit i just can't break. my sister is more notorious for it, but i'm just as guilty.but today while commuting, i feel like my bad habit was worth something. i saw a woman with a sony walkman with over-the-head headphones. i was completely enamored with this woman. she seemed so at peace with the world; eyes closed, a

Even though I was brought up using Windows and I'm pretty sure I'll go through some withdrawals when I switch over to Mac. No one can deny Apple Inc. has style and Microsoft tends to just mess stuff up. Apple's industrial designers have discovered the genius in simplicity, while Microsoft seems to think the best way is the way around. That is why I think this video is so funny.I found this on

Like most kids, I loved to wake up early in the morning and watch Saturday morning cartoons. Nothing could jump start the carefree joys of an elementary school kid's weekend like a couple hours of animated fun. It was usually around 7 or 8 am, when I'd roll out of bed, grab a blanket, head downstairs, and settle in for quality time with the TV.Even though I was always told to get off the
