A Lot Lighter

Back in teh day before torrents and P2P networks there was Usenet alt.binaries. I scoured them pretty regularly for music (never pr0n or warez) then burned off my findings to CD since hard disk space was a premium. My collection grew to almost two hundred discs before I finally bought a DVD burner.

Brought my fattest disc organizer in to work a few weeks ago. At various points in the day I would toss in a CD and copy it over to my USB drive. Got the last one done today. Totally a nerd moment, but it felt so cool to see all those discs turned into trash and all of their contents now immediately accessible. Still have more than 4gb free, too. Now I have to do the tag and cover updates so I can get more stuff on the iPod.


Technological Reduction Transfered more than one hundred of my old archive CDs onto my little Western Digital USB drive. I so love technology.

Germany To Ban Scientology

Germany To Ban Scientology

Germany’s interior minister called the Church of Scientology "an unconstitutional organization" and said the nation is seeking to ban the group. What do you think?

Alicia Klaffky, Wedding Cake Designer "I hope the Germans can gird themselves to live in a world without Kirstie Alley."

Marcus Washington, Mortician "He sounds angry. Perhaps he'd like to meet with some nice friends of mine and explain his feelings while being hooked up to a fake machine."

Ted Berg, Systems Analyst "This is, without question, the worst instance of religious persecution Germany has ever authorized."

My team mate's second son was delivered a little over two hours ago: “Our baby was born @ 7:25am. Mom & baby are doing fine. The baby is 6lb 4.75 oz and 19 plus inches.” So happy for him yet the tears are both happy and sad. I want one, dammit.

Boredom is Bad

Was trying to get pictures before and after my haircut to see if there was anything I could do when Hip Hop Hooray came on XMradio. For whatever reason I switched to movie mode. I really don't care for MySpace but for some reason I decided to upload it. I suppose it's an attention thing. It's really embarrassing but it's another way to keep me out of my shell.

It's Back

I had forgotten this, but when I'm over-happy or in love, I sing. Often there's a song in my head but this is out loud. And usually without realizing it until I get looks. Currently I'm randomly belting out Seal's Amazing and James Blunt's You're Beautiful. Wonder why? *snicker*

Back in Utah I never signed up because my MSM status made them auto-reject me. Has that changed? Or is it different out here in Minnesota?

Heh. Don't feel stupid, it's a euphanism. MSM = Men who have Sex with Men. =)

Ding, Light bulb is on. :) However this is still an auto-reject.

Thanks for checking.

Groove

I really don't use my XM-Radio much but sometimes it seriously kicks ass. Their DJ Armando guy is really tearing it up right now on Channel 81. Must find track list.

EDIT: Mmmm! Chris Cox in ten minutes!
