Music: Aerogramme – Hatred

CNN reports that The Mac turns 20 today, noting the the strength of the community and large base of passionate users: “”Macintosh users tend to be a very independent type, and they tend to be very loyal to their product,” Wozniak said. “They’ve been threatened with [Macs] going out of business and being put out of their schools and out of their companies, and they’ve got to fight. There’s so much passion for it.”

Fuck, I am a dork…but really that is why you are reading this…so you know this.

Music: Comets On Fire – ESP

Just got an e-mail from my friend Cari, who gave me a few pointers on life and things I’ve been commenting on in here, here is what she had to say…

– you need a haircut….keep the tuff, lose the gay

“The whole car ride down was filled with interesting controversy with the ladies that I have in my life. I really need to go for some quality here. jesus. All girl’s are scandalous. period. ”

– the quality is in canada, stop hanging out with teenagers….seriously

– and if we weren’t scandalous, we wouldn’t be interesting…we would just be tits and few holes to stick your wiener in….scandals keep things interesting

Quote of the day:
“what the hell happened???? It looks like you fell off the deep end into wannabe gay mod hell. please come back the core needs you….” Daniel Sant of Over My Dead Body, commenting on my hair.

The Promise in Albany

Kenn24 and Justin

Buske about to lose his hat…

Kenn24 and I made the trip out to Albany to go see some good friends…
Albany is about 2 hours from here, and we rolled up and got to see about half of the Wage of Sin…Got to see The Promise. Let me just say there are only a few bands that make this jaded old fuck “mosh”…it’s sad when people clear out for a 30 year old dude going off, either that or they were just horrified, like young kids seeing someone have a seizure…
regardless I was on head singing along. Always awesome. Most Precious Blood fucking killed it that night…it was seriously so fucking crazy. Kids just going ape shit, singing every word. Reminded me of an Atlanta Indecision show. We hung out and had some amazing vegan corn dogs…then sad our good byes…

The ride home we pure hell. Some mysterious freezing fog kept attacking my windsheild…
forcing us to pull over every 5 minutes…
we left at fucking 1 and got back to Salem at 4:30 am…

Yesterday.
Laundry. Had so much I had to split it up between my house and a laundry mat. At one point I went to go put my sheets in the dryer…
door slams behind me.
fuck
me and the snow. that’s all there was. I locked myself out. no phone. no wallet. no jacket. nothing. I had to walk all over Salem to find Tre to let me in…
Finally I found him at the office…
Later that night…
I managed to impress my friends with and amazing fall down a whole flight of stairs in my apartment…
picture a water slide…people laying down sliding having fun…
now picture me the same way, but take away the water and the fun…
I am amazing.

Late night trip to Denny’s after picking up Jahanna at the Airport, yielded poor service, stomach aches, good times, and too many emo kids…

Exhume To Consume – Carcass
Insomnia – The Rentals
Tomb Of The Boom – Outkast

So quick trip to New York City on Sunday night. Stayed with Buske which was awesome. Chris Wrenn and I had some meetings on Monday morning. The whole car ride down was filled with interesting controversy with the ladies that I have in my life. I really need to go for some quality here. jesus. All girl’s are scandalous. period. Anyways, Wrenn and I had an awesome breakfast at Kate’s Place in the City…Vegan Egg’s Benedict, so fucking good.

Kainjow Software has released Pod2Go 0.6, the latest version of its software that “takes an ordinary iPod and makes it extraordinary by syncing news, weather forecasts, movie listings, stock quotes, horoscopes, driving directions and much more all with a few clicks of the mouse.” The updated version offers a global iPod menu for easy syncing, plugin-based structure, and the ability to launch applications on connect of iPod. It also includes better management of RSS feeds, the ability to sync Safari bookmarks, and more. Pretty cool for daily commuter/podders…

TunesAtWork is new software that lets you listen to your iTunes music collection while you are away from your Mac. “TunesAtWork is a specialized Web server that runs on your home Mac and serves Web pages that present your music collection (including playlists) organized visually much the same as in iTunes itself. Clicking the various links in the Web page will cause MP3 files to be streamed from your home Mac to the computer where your browser is running. As long as that computer (where the browser is running) has a helper application that can play streamed MP3 files (e.g., WinAmp on Windows, MacAmp or iTunes itself on Macintosh), you will hear your music on that computer.” TunesAtWork is freeware and requires Mac OS X, iTunes 4, Java 1.4, and a high-speed internet connection.
Almost cool. It doesn’t support AAC, MP4 which is what you should be using…so hopefully they will fix this…
if you only use MP3s then check this out….

Music: VNV NATION – Fragments (Splinter)

As noted by MacMinute, Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina has unveiled the new iPod-based “HP Digital Music Player” at this week’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The device is light blue in color and has an “HP” logo on the back. Firoina said it is “the first and only one” in existence. HP and Apple announced a partnership yesterday to deliver an HP-branded digital music player based on Apple’s iPod, which is expected to ship this summer. CNET has a short video of Fiorina inroducing the device at CES.

Be warned Carly Fiorina is full of shit…she runs her mouth about HP being..well whatever…they make crap..and they knew it…so they didn’t even try to make an iPod competitor they just bought and repackaged the best.
