You learn something new every day, whether or not you realize it right away. There are no exceptions to this rule.

Today I learned the difference between bowler hats, pork pie hats and fedoras. Before today, they were all just fedoras to me. It never occurred to me that all three of these different hat styles had different names.

I also learned that Roseanne is Jewish, and that gummy shot glasses exist.

It doesn't have to be anything life-changing or significant or anything, just something that you learned. So AG, I ask you now, what did you learn today?

I learned that I can do, if I may say so myself, a pretty good rendition of Tay Zonday singing Chocolate Rain. I recorded myself singing the chorus and even I was impressed by it.

Tay Zonday singing Chocolate Rain


That's a peculiar song (& lyrics), thanks. I gather now it went viral -- something I'd happily missed completely as usual, heheh

I learned that the game Tower of Doom is more of a spectator sport than it is a game. I wrote a review on it expressing my concerns as a gamer, despite the fact that I only play flash games to earn quests.

I learned that FL Studio V.11 is out now. The first (and last) trial version I downloaded was v.9, which was 2 years ago.

I miss making my own tracks... ;~;
