I must give Johann credit: At least he’s willing to listen.

Songs for Johann, Vol. 1: A-F
May flowers
May is our favorite month of the year here at AC.com world headquarters. You just can’t beat temperatures in the low 70s with low humidity. Flowers also are busting out all over, further enhancing the mood.

Music from head to toe, part 1
Last week, I finally figured out how to make Audio Player work, and since then I’ve been trying to come up with a way to implement it here.
When I walk Basie, I usually have my headphones on. This morning, a particular song shuffled up on my iPod and it gave me an idea: a playlist [...]
