time to hunt

wish this was the banned version. but it'll be enough to exercise the homicidal instincts festering inside you when idiots put you through the grinder for the last couple of months. it'll be easy to imagine killing said idiots in this game.


happy halloween.

oink is dead

long live free music!

this article kind of sums up how i feel.

since the early days of recording tapes off FM radio stations, using up my college allowance to buy cassettes, discovering CDs (and pirated ones), discovering Napster and MP3s, a flirtation with MiniDiscs, to the current fall of the music industry expressed through two iPods (and maybe more), i barely download anymore, much less buy CDs. i guess am stuck with the music i grew up with, but being around with a younger set does leave you sometimes with cases of the infamous 'Last Song Syndrome' ("you can stand under my umbrella ... ella ... ella ... ella").

it is interesting to see what business model comes out of this crash, if Rick Rubin and other progressives make the suits see the light. in the meantime, you have to excuse me, because i gotta go babysit my file copying from my Netgear SAN drives to a newer Western Digital MyBook before the former dies on me again. building that huge music collection ain't easy, you know.

axiom of the month

those who can't play, end up in the E.R.




corollary: spending time in the E.R. opens a can of worms.

enjoy life, however short it may be, but try to prolong yours as much as you can.
