…and this would be why the last 5 CDs I bought were from independent artists. Looks like the RIAA is just itching to put the people its “protecting” out of business in the future.

The fact that more people would rather watch the drivel called American Idol, than watch the Olympics goes to show that the public are just sheep…

Since iTunes included support for podcasting in version 4.9, many of us have had a dificult time getting listed in their directory, especially indie music podcasts. Well, seems someone decided to take matters into their own hands.
In the mean time I’ll stick with Odeo as my podcasting go to place.

Holy Crap! I think I need to buy a whole case of this stuff!

Wow, can you believe it. I had not one single post in the month of July. Does that tell you how busy things have been? So what happened in July?
Well, for starters I got rid of my pickup truck early in the month. I traded it in for a Malibu Maxx because I needed a vehicle that was more child friendly. The new car has more power (6 cyclinders instead of my S10’s 4), lots more room, and a nice sunroof. I’m pretty happy with the decision, but I still miss my truck.
Shaun continues to grow, as would be expected with a baby. So I guess that was a silly statement to make. He’s reaching a lot of milestones: he almost has the sitting up thing, probaby just a month away from really getting it. He’s also gotten the ability to grab things and shake them down. And man, can this kid smile; I think his mouth is going to get stuck in that position.
The Radio.Speljamr podcast continues to grow an audience. It’s not huge, but there seems to be around 70 regular listeners now. It seems to be going at a nice slow, but steady pace. I was really happy to get permission to play one of my absolute favorite bands, Lovespirals. That really made my month.
Well, that was about it for July. August looks like it’s going to be an even busier month. Lots of big things going on at work. I’m sure I’ll be able to talk about them later, but for now it’s got to stay at work.
And finally, I’ll be posting some new pictures of Shaun soon. I’ll be sure to post a mention in this blog, so keep watching. I promise I won’t stay away for a whole month again.

Apparently we have decided to throw the constitution of the United States of America right out the window. I’ll be polishing my gun as I slowly watch our rights slip away…

Is this finally proof to the industry that it can succeed in the digital world, regardless of P2P file sharing?

There have been tons of rumors and speculation about Apple switching to Intel processors. Well it appears to have become a reality, and it’s a real blow to IBM. But what does it do for Apple? Well, for one it probably lowers costs, that is one of the primary reasons why Apple would make a switch like this. But I think it also opens up the potential for other markets, and this is something Apple doesn’t seem to be discussing atthe moment.
The transition to the new Intel chips will not be immediete. In fact, it will take up to a year because apple will need to port all of its code base to the x86 chip architecture. They have already been doing some of this, but have never released any code to the public. And here’s where I think the new market is. Once OS X is ported to an x86 architecture, what’s to stop apple from selling its OS to the PC market, in direct competition to microsoft? In my opinion, nothing. And I for one would love the opportunity to have a PC running OS X. I just don’t want to pay Apple’s hardware tax. I think great diversity in the operating system world is a good thing for innovation. If Apple enters this market it will make it the third major OS available to PCs, next to Linux and Windows. Looks like the future could get pretty interesting…
