We've been having problems with our laptop for the last couple weeks here at the NCD - an antivirus program designed to protect our computer decided accessing the internet was too dangerous and shut us out. Um, Hal? We uninstalled the program and everything is back to normal, although we're trying to figure out what to do for antivirus going forward.
Our mentor Johnny Action Space Punk would tell us to get a Mac. Next time, Johnny. Next time.

Friday night Fun - The Bangles - All Over the Place
Naperville City Desk is excited to declare tonight 'Bangles Night!' This all-girl group formed in Los Angeles took up the mantle from the Go-Go's in the early 80's and helped prove to everyone that chicks sell records and that the Go-Go's were not just a fluke. They had a monster hit in the mid-80's with 'Walk Like an Egyptian' and everyone knows that song but I want to take you all back to where it started for me.
Back in the day, before the internet I was reading a magazine and came across this article about this girl-band who wanted to be the next Beatles. Pretty bold, I thought, but I was interested enough to seek out their album 'All Over the Place.' I was blown away by it - while they were not the Beatles (no on is or will be) they had catchy tunes, great hooks, smart lyrics and interesting harmonies with everyone taking turns singing lead.
Here they are with 'Going Down to Liverpool.'
I am not the only Bangles fan out there - Lorelai Gilmore of 'Gilmore Girls' fame was a big fan and dragged Rory and Paris and friends from school along when the Bangles played in NYC. Of course, the friends ditched and Lorelai was distracted by something having to do with Luke but the band sounded great and if you watch to the end you'll see that at least one of the youngsters came around and became a new fan.

Sunday funny
My mom sent me this joke:
What is the difference between Bird Flu and Swine Flu?
For bird flu you need tweetment and for swine flu you need oinkment!
Admit it, you groan and laugh at the same time!
