Cleveland Cafe' Show

I was browsing through the programming guide on TiVo last week, when I spotted a show called Cleveland Cafe.’ The description only said "community programming" so that could have been anything from a local news show to an infomercial. I TiVo’d the show and watched it with Lance Saturday night.

I was pleasantly surprised that the show was not an infomercial, and happy to see that it was hosted by Tim White. He seems like a good man. The show was a little strange in that I felt like I was eavesdropping on someone else's conversation, but the basic idea was interesting. I would love to see more diversity in the guests and more audience involvement though. Perhaps they could allow local residents to email questions and topics to be discussed on the show, or invite viewers from around town to join the discussion each week.

It will be interesting to see where they go with this show and if it is popular enough to continue. I would love to hear your thoughts on this, as well.

This photo was used to illustrate the show, Feminism after Friedan, on the Open Source radio show.

I could not wait to tell her. She is 81 years old, and she is a strong, independent woman. I'm so proud of her. Mom has lived in the Cleveland area most of her life and she rocks!

Our Truth

Lacuna Coil released the video for Our Truth off their upcoming CD, Karmacode. The video is available below from YouTube. I think it is fantastic, and I'm looking forward to hearing the rest. They are touring to support Rob Zombie on his tour, but unfortunately the closest venue they have listed at Ticketmaster is the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion in Columbus.
