Never thought I would say this



Bill Gates said it best when it comes to dealing with music encoded with restrictive DRM schemes.

More and more I've been finding myself buying songs off of iTunes, mainly just to be legit, or after I get sick of spending lots of my time scouring soulseek for a decent version "Last Christmas" by Wham. A lot of people complain that buying songs from such services is limited, since you are restricted from copying those files and sharing them with other people. I never really got what the big deal was, since you aren't being stopped from burning your music purchased with iTunes to a CD and listening to it wherever and giving out copies to whomever you want to...I figure if I buy an album from iTunes and burn a CD of it for at least one other person besides myself, I'm still beating "the man".

Awww



remember when heylove looked like this?

HipHop is dead


A co-worker just hooked me up with the new Nas and the new Jay-Z.

Expect a verdict later this week, although the title of Nas's album has me won over already.

Mexican Bagels


I was going to post about these amazing tortillas you can get at the co-op, but while the code monkey research department was conducting our background and fact checking (to prevent further lawsuits and hatemail), Cookie, the intern, stumbled upon local blog sactomato.com. Well it looks like they've done a bang up job already (although I prefer the non-whole wheat variety), so the staff here will continue with our day of rest.

Speaking of bagels (sorta). I've seen numerous comlaints about the lack of decent bagels in Sacramento. Sacramento Bagel on H street isn't bad at all, as far as full-service bagel establishments go. They even serve decent coffee!

Personally though, going out to get a bagel makes just as much sense as going out of your way to get a grilled cheese sandwich somewhere, since they can easily be sliced, toasted and spread at home. My favorite bagels in Sacramento are by Bella Bru and you can get them at the co-op as well (located on the other side of the rack where the hecka good tortillas are kept).

My Old Car


So it looks like the city spent 40 million dollars to extend light-rail 2 blocks!

way to go guys!

Whoo...



just found out that I may be going back to Germany later on next year!

beach ball of death



Love my Mac. It's sexy as hell, but it's a computer so it does annoying things sometimes...

list of complaints:

• I still had to reboot after getting the latest OS X security patch. I've heard Mac people make fun of Windows for doing such things


• no right click (not easy to do [ctrl]-click with infant in one arm)


• firefox 2.0 constantly crashing on me (thanks to Gerri for tech support on how to kill a hanging application -aka- "force quit")


• iPhoto is not as cool as Picasa


• got soulseek to work, but it's just not the same


• no right click...no I'm not going to buy a new mouse any time soon


• beach ball of death (no where near as annoying as a blue screen of death, but annoying, none-the-less)

did I mention the lack of being able to "right click"? I like to get the most out of things, so being able to right click instead of hitting [ctrl]-click would be nice.

Other than my petty complaints above (except the firefox crashing), the good seems to outweigh the bad. Garageband is, like, the best, and the built in help system puts Windows to shame (I've been able to figure out pretty much everything on my own).
