Today I woke up to see this article on Slashdot. Apparently the CD Levy is not enough to compensate artists for their "lost revenue". I was opposed when the Levy came out many years ago, mainly because the bulk of my CDs were used for backing up actual Data discs. I know several companies that are using CDs for legit use to back up their data, and ( Read more... )

I was watching the news today and they had a piece on a wealthy billionaire who payed a matchmaker to find him the right girl to get married with. The report of this totally sounded like an advertisement (I imagine he payed for the piece because it isn't "news") and really angered me. The following points were made in the piece ( Read more... )

I recently made a CD of Canadian Retro tracks and such. Doing so I found some "new" music (new meaning its old, but new to me to discover). So on a whim I've decided to perhaps purchase a CD or two, providing the albums are available for sale ( Read more... )

I'm in a retro-ish mood tonight. I've been thinking of an era, which to my conciousness, never existed. The closest thing I have to a recollection of events is through video footage, TV shows, reading material and third-party stories/memories of that era. I'm of course, talking about the 70s. And I don't even know what triggered it tonight, since ( Read more... )

I'm going to try to go to bed early tonight. I'm feeling tired, I didn't get much sleep, like I thought. I'm betting I'll get some calls today so I can't unplug the phone, which is a wise decission. I'm very hungry too, tonight's dinner I made hardly qualified as a meal, so I'm hoping something is planned tomorrow otherwise I may order out. It ( Read more... )

Its 7am. I thought the program I would be recording would be on at 5am, but either the schedule has changed or my percipetion of time is off. Today was a cool day. I felt on edge first, kinda restless, but then I ended up playing Tetrinet with a few good friends, and that not only got me busy but also just gave me a good feeling for the evening.

Yay. It's Saturday. Sort of. I consider it a new day when I actually sleep for more than an hour. I sometimes wonder how people can stay up for days on end, espically considering how it can really cause confusion in the mind. Best part about this is, since it's the weekend, I can unplug the phone because no one calls about work on a Saturday. ( Read more... )

It's 4:00am and I already have had my run of bad luck. Getting things ready for the night, I checked out a clip I captured earlier, only to find out I plugged the audio cable into the wrong port in a rush to meet the capture schedule. I burned myself when soldering my phone charger, and somehow, someone managed to throw away my cable wire, so one ( Read more... )
