Thursday 6.26

Rays. By the thousands. Amazing photos.

10 ways to trick yourself into saving money.

Another freaky optical illusion.

Wednesday 6.25

More on the IRS' new mileage deductible rules here. Miller is going to try for a writeoff based on all the times he's gotten lost on his way to a Coffee Break.

This video is staged, but it's really well-staged. It's apparently for an upcoming Gatorade commercial:

Tuesday 6.24

Monday 6.23

So long, George Carlin:

Weekend 6.20-21-22

If you're watching the Yankees-Reds game on Saturday, keep an eye out for Mr. J - he'll be in the last seat down the right field foul line next to the foul pole.

Looks interesting if you've got small kids - child-safe video at Totlol. Looks like it's angled toward kids under 6.

Thursday 6.19

A talking toilet-paper spindle. Like you want a disembodied voice coming at you while you're using the bathroom.

A whole bunch of superb black-and-white photos of New York City and other stuff.

Wednesday 6.18

Check us out on Friday morning at around 8:45-8:50. We'll be experimenting with a new musical feature, unbeknownst to the suits.

101 more ways to save gas.

Whoa.

So long, Cyd Charisse:

Monday 6.16

Light posting today - had some hinkiness on our end computer-wise. We will take a moment, though to salute the Mohonk Preserve for their great work, including the Father's Day hike in which Mr. J participated. Well worth a membership if you don't already have on.

Weekend 6.13-14-15

Happy Father's Day from one dad to the rest of you dads!

Thursday 6.12

Hearty Father's Day breakfast day recipes from the Culinary Institute of America, including "toad in the hole", available here (with video!). For more on their Breakfasts and Brunches book, click here.

Congratulations, Maria.

Wednesday 6.11

A happy 75th birthday to comic genius Gene Wilder:

Tuesday 6.10

Early school dismissals because of a little heat? Bah. You had it rougher:

Mr. J wants you to know that the new Genesis DVD is out (at Wal-Mart only).

Monday 6.9

Many thanks to the staff at the Target in Kingston for cleaning up after Mr. J's son on Sunday.

This Friday is another Friday the 13th, which means another What Were We Thinkin'? show, where we trot out those songs you loved in your foolish youth, but now you wouldn't admit having owned them. Except for this one day. Email your thoughts to morningmix@mix97fm.com. And to help inspire, here's Falco:

And here's a cat playing the theremin:

Weekend, June 6-7-8

FDR, June 6, 1944:

Thursday 6.5

The truth about Internet dating...plus, dating tips for gold-diggers.

Garfield's creator Jim Davis likes Garfield minus Garfield.

Yes, we're still taking suggestions for a new Morning Mix domain name. Also, next Friday is a Friday the 13th, so we'll have another "What Were We Thinking" special featuring all the songs you can't believe you liked when you were younger. By way of example, here's Falco and "Der Kommissar":

Wednesday 6.4

Timewaster: Music Catch.

Some Ebay genius paid $55.71 for a $50 gift card.

Tuesday 6.3

Timewaster: Virtual Lite-Brite.

Apparently a version of this Japanese game show is coming to America. This is very silly:

Monday 6.2

31 places to visit this summer...if you can afford the road-trip. Mr. J can vouch for #2 on the list (New Hampshire) being very good indeed, and not too far away.

Little things to do that make somebody's day.

Awww. A snoring baby duck:

Weekend 5.30-31-6.1

Harvey Korman, 1927-2008:

And the legendary dentist sketch, with Tim Conway:

No more neckties for Father's Day.

Unlimited plastic surgery in the Hamptons, plus a full-time nurse, chauffeur and VIP parties, for just 500 grand? Oooh, sign us up! Bleh.

One of Earth's last uncontacted tribes.
