Pardon the BASEketball quote, but that really sums up my last 5 days. Awhile back, I was told I needed to find a place of my own. My roommate decided he wanted to live on his own which neatly coincided with my own wishes to live roommate-free. On Craigslist, I found a great place in [...]

… Well, till it’s dead. Dead – ER, that is!
What the hell am I talking about? Well, of course, it’s DRM, the music industry, etc, etc, on and on. I know, it’s like that old scratched Grease soundtrack you kept listening to because when it jumps in the right place, “You’re The One That I [...]

If you look over to the right, you’ll see a link to the Gizmodo Anti-RIAA manifesto. The RIAA is pure evil. When I talk about allofmp3.com and how great it is, people always ask if the money goes to the artists. It doesn’t, but let me clear up a little misconception: the artists don’t get [...]

As a simple search of this site will tell you, I hate the RIAA with a passion. I am not alone, either. Recently, Gizmodo published its Anti-RIAA Manifesto to kick off their efforts to boycott the RIAA in March. Admirable plans, guys. I couldn’t agree more with your position.
One commenter on that last link offers [...]

I’m not sure if it’s because I’m impatient with people, or just an ass, but conversations like the one I had coming back from lunch irk me:
Me: So I put the new interior in my car this weekend.
Person #1: Wow! The whole interior?
Me: Actually, just the seats.
Irksome One: What color is it?
Me: The same color…?
Irksone [...]

Why don’t we see more of this in news? With the Bush administration rolling out its mid-term elections platform of, “Osama wants you to vote for democrats,” MSNBC’s Kieth Olbermann launches into an editorial fully outlining my feelings on the issue:
In his last show of the season, Henry Rollins spoke about the conservative plan [...]

Wow, celebrities really love their hybrids. They drive Priuses (Priusi?) from their homes to their private jets to fly to Cabo for a weekend. They tell the little people they’re stupid for buying trucks, SUVs and regular non-hybrid cars. I wonder how many of them show up to movie premiers in hybrid limos?
As if that [...]

Rather than string this crap out into a bunch of posts, I thought I would cram a few into one post:
Politicians are trying to take away your Internet
Yes, I’ve talked about this before, and to be honest this guy’s usually kind of a blow-hard. Every now and then, however, he manages to do a good [...]

MySpace.com is being sued for $30 million by a 14 year-old girl who claims the site did nothing to protect her from getting sexually molested. What about the previous sentence doesn’t make sense? Well, we all knew MySpace would get sued by someone eventually, and we all knew it would probably revolve around some sexual [...]

More and more people are finding out about what used to be the Intarnet-web’s best kept secret: allofmp3.com kicks iTunes’ ass. Plain and simple. Why? For many reasons:
allofmp3.com offers music files in just about any format you would want including OGG, FLAC, WMA and of course MP3. Some CDs can even be bought in raw [...]
