Amazon MP3 Downloads

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

Amazon is so far the only company to launch a music download store to rival iTunes. I read an article today that said that Amazon has become the #2 digital music store behind iTunes and it's only been open for 6 months. In my opinion, there are two things about ...

Atlantic City Trip Report

Monday, March 24th, 2008

My wife and I went up to The Borgata last Thursday thru Friday. Not too much to report. I was very pleased to net just about $800 in just under 7 hours of playing $1/$2 No Limit Texas Hold Em for a hourly rate of about $110/hour. It probably would've ...

Squatters

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

I was in the backyard pushing my son on the swing when I see this middle school-aged kid in my neighbor's yard lurking about. My house backs to a major road and on the other side of the fence and through some trees, I see two other kids standing there. ...

I Hate NIN. Buy The New Album.

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

I hate Nine Inch Nails. I have never been a fan of Nine Inch Nails. I don't think there's one song of theirs that I've ever liked. However, I hate the recording industry and their old-fashioned business model that they are trying to cling to even more than I hate ...

Sneaky Now. More Sneaky Later?

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

This morning, I was getting ready to leave for work. I come out of my bedroom and see my daughter about to turn on the hall light. There is absolutely no reason for her to turn on the light. When I asked her why she wanted it on, she couldn't ...

Van Halen: Rescheduled

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

I did get tickets to see Van Halen in Baltimore for Sunday, March 9th. On my way to work yesterday, I heard a report on the radio that there was a rumor that the remainder of the tour was going to be cancelled. The unnamed sources cited internal band conflicts, ...

Password Protected

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

We have Windows XP running on our home computers. I don't know if it's because I'm a tech guy or because I am paranoid, but I set everyone in the family up with their own login account for Windows XP. I gave myself administrator privileges and made everyone else a ...
