17 Things ‘Nashville’ Gets Really Wrong About Nashville
The ABC-TV hit drama series, Nashville, has brought a lot of attention to the Music City itself, with the show being shot on location, incorporating real places (and a few fictional ones) and real Country artists and other celebrities into the episodes.
Now, to be honest, I haven't seen one full episode, because it comes on WAY past my bedtime! But I found this article to be very interesting, as I
Compilation: Songs That Mention George Strait
You hear us say this on the air all the time: "We're the only station that plays a George Strait song for you every hour..." Here in South Texas, it's difficult to find anybody who doesn't at least LIKE "King George," and frankly, most folks LOVE his music! So do a lot of other artists and songwriters. How many other songs "name-drop" the King of Country Music? This v
Hilarious SWA Flight Attendant
I've flown Southwest Airlines several times over the years, and quite often, their flight attendants are downright hilarious! They make what would otherwise be a boring, mundane safety announcement VERY entertaining! See for yourself in this video!

Heartbleed Hit List: Passwords You Need to Change Right Now
This has been a big news story for the past day or so: an encryption flaw (basically, a "hole" in the security of some websites) called the "Heartbleed" bug has been discovered. The initial reports I heard made it sound like you needed to change ALL of your website passwords; but apparently, that's not the case. Here's a breakdown of which of the websites' passwords you should
A GREAT Explanation of What It’s Like to Have ADHD
Although I've never had an "official" diagnosis, those who know me know that I pretty much "fit the profile" of one with ADD.

A recent DNA analysis of the skeleton, believed to be 24,000 years old, has shown that the Mal’ta child’s people were ancestors of modern Native Americans, suggesting First Americans came directly from Siberia.
