Have You Hugged Your Local Band Today?

This was a great summer for music in Rockville, and it looks likely to continue into the fall. With Thursday evening music in Town Center thru Sept 13, music every Wednesday to Saturday night and Sunday Jazz Brunch at Austin Grill, concerts at F. Scott Fitzgerald and Parilla PAC, First Fridays in Town Square and more, a person could hear something new and different every day of the week.

Two of our favorites in recent weeks were the performance of some of the former Cascade in Blue members (some of whom are now part of The Slights who also performed) at Austin Grill on August 23, and The Digits' benefit concert this past weekend. I posted a couple short video clips here.

Scrolling links

My favorite time-waster, StumbleUpon, brought up this link to a nicely done page on how to make scrolling links with javascript, so I had to try it out. Like it? I do -- thanks, Steffan Luczyn.

How much is this stamp worth?

It's bill-paying day (ugh-- why do I still have to pay my Washington Post bill by mail, and even find and address an envelope for it?) and as I was looking around for some stamps with the right postage, I found a bunch of those cryptic stamps that say "H" or "G" or "1991 Christmas" and tell you nothing about what the value of the stamp is, so you really don't know what to put with your old 37¢ stamp to get the right postage. So I looked online and found "Quick Service Guide 604a" which tells, wonder of wonders, the value of nondenominated postage. I think this blog entry is mostly for my own future reference.
