For those of you outside of the DFW area, let me introduce you to 89.7 PowerFM. Commercial-free Christian alternative music around the clock, playing bands like Kutless, Pillar, Kids in the Way, Skillet and others. Thanks to PowerFM, I can stand driving a car with a missing CD player (and forgive the one that stole it).

A co-worker and I have signed up to play in the first ever PowerFM Golf-A-Thon. We’re going to play 50 holes in one day! I’m trying to raise a minumum of $1,500, so I’m appealing to you for help. If you can spare a few bucks and would like to pledge a per-hole donation to help this financially-struggling radio station, please click here. To encourage sponsorship (and so you don’t feel like you’re paying for my day of fun), I’m matching $0.25 for every dollar donated. Every amount is appreciated, even if you can only donate $0.50 a hole.

I love reading John Battelle, and today he pointed me to lala.com. Basically, it’s a CD swapping service where you pay $1 (plus shipping) for each CD you want. The interface is nice and AJAXy, and the selection seems to be decent. Something I’ll keep my eye on…

Sarah and I attended Fusion Conference today at IBC, and we got to see Caedmon’s Call for the first time in about 4 years. It was bittersweet in many ways for me. I forgot how much I enjoy their music, and they are still producing great stuff. However, seeing them without Derek Webb was really tough for me. They have since replaced Derek with another guitarist / vocalist / song writer, but he really doesn’t compare. Give credit to Caedmon’s for continuing on after such a great loss, though. They were also great in the breakout sessions speaking about the injustices in India concerning the Dalits.
