I still do a little radio. I am on Saturday morning to 11am then from 1pm in the afternoon and all day Sunday on KVYN 99.3 FM in Napa. You can listen online at 993thevine.com
I play a music mix from the '80s, '90s, '00s, 2010s, current songs and musically it is kind of like KFOG meets Live 105. It's a good listen. I add in some info about tech, food, travel, entertainment, pop culture, whatever. I call it Fun Music and Great Information.
Saturday and Sunday I play a 10 at 10 featuring 10 great songs from 1 great year with audio clips from news, sports, movies, tv shows from that year.
I have a Beatles Brunch at noon with 4 songs by The Fab Four.
I'll use this blog to post links to the "Great Information" I share
the weekend of August 23 / 24 2025 I talked about

The launch of the new musical special is in part a celebration of Charlie Brown’s 75th anniversary. The music in this musical is well-staged, given the plot sees the Peanuts gang host their own concert to try and save the camp.
So, who took the top spot? Tioga Gas Mart & Whoa Nellie Deli in Lee Vining, California, thanks to its "amazing" lobster taquitos and buffalo meatloaf. Located near Yosemite National Park* (with views to prove it), the deli is also known for its "World Famous Fish Tacos," which are stuffed with fried mahi-mahi and topped with a choice of ginger coleslaw or mango salsa.
*not really - it is on the back side of Yosemite off Hy 395 near Mono Lake
Google Wallet is making custom pass creation easier, by adding a feature that automatically scans your photo gallery for passes, and can create them for you.
The new Google Wallet feature, called "Automatically import passes," was found in an APK Teardown by Android Authority, and isn't available widely yet.
To use the new feature when it rolls out, you'll need to enable it in Google Wallet settings, found under Passes options.
These cold buckwheat noodles were instant refreshment on the stickiest of summer days, when dinner needed to be quenching as much as filling.
Now, when the humid weather rolls around, I call on this dish to replenish me from the inside out. Start with cooked, drained, and rinsed soba noodles.
