Once in a while, I’ll randomly try something, sold by Amazon.com, that looks pretty good. I did this with Simply Asia Rice Noodle Soup Bowls, starting with the Garlic Sesame variety. It’s easy to make, healthy and really good. Problem is, Amazon has a really hard time keeping them in stock.

For this reason, I also tried the Spring Vegetable variety. It wasn’t as good, but was still quite good, in moderation. At the time of writing, it’s out of stock! So, apparently, plenty of people know about them. I may try another variety, but I’d definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a good, quick lunch.

Last night, right after midnight, I saved my Last.fm chart data for 2008, so that I could play with it and figure out what my top artists and songs of 2008 were, according to the service. Mainly, it was for my own curiosity, but I figured that I may as well blog about it, for posterity, at least. This is based on the top 500 artists and top 500 tracks, as that is all that Last.fm shows you.

Here are my top 25 most played tracks:

1. “Take You There” by Donnie Klang featuring Diddy.

I just wanted to mention that I am back from Blog World Expo. Outside of how I slept and felt in the mornings, it went great and the book signing and panels were awesome. I plan to post a detailed recap, but that will take some time, so I just wanted to get a post up, letting everyone know that I had returned. It’s amazing the amount of work that piled up in five days of being away! Hopefully, I’ll be back on top of everything by next week.

I’m definitely loving the video for Donnie Klang’s first single, “Take You Here,” featuring Diddy, being the huge Diddy fan that I am. Great stuff.

I’ve been getting into Digg lately and I am now using it on a daily basis, for the most part. So, if you’re on there, please feel free to add me as a friend! Thanks.
