Friday. Thank goodness.
I’m headed out to meet some friends for dinner (sushi, in case you care).
Then, we’re all seeing a movie: The Prestige. At a theater with all kinds of food — always a favorite of ours.
Tomorrow, it’s a day full of errands (cleaning, grocery shopping), with the “big” UM-VaTech game at 8pm. That… will be interesting. Or embarrassing.
and that makes three….

oops…
Posted by eric on November 2, 2006
I was checking out parts of my site a little while ago, and clicked on the Flash-powered map in the travel section. That’s when I realized I haven’t updated it in about a year. Oops. Some of the trips I’ve taken since then:
Miami (January)
Savannah (St. Patrick’s Day)
upstate NY (DMB concerts in June)
Tampa and South Florida (more DMB concerts, in August)
upstate NY again (October)
Atlanta (October)
I’ll get around to it one of these days.

let’s do this thing…
Posted by eric on November 1, 2006
It’s November 1st. 11/1. That’s a lot of ones. Well, not as many as 11/11. But you get the point.
I know I haven’t posted in a while. Gonna try to change that.
I have to update a few things: the live music section, most notably. I also need to add a page for my latest music habit: taping.
And maybe I’ll redesign. But how many times have we heard that one?

So I haven’t updated this thing… in a while. Haven’t much with the site, actually. More will come. Eventually. I think.

ticket stubs found
Posted by eric on December 20, 2005
I was cleaning my room last night, when I found some ticket stubs. Several of them. All of the stubs, in fact, from my first 5 DMB concerts. I knew I had them somewhere, I just didn’t know where. But now I do. I’ve scanned them and added them to the Live Music page.

more live music stuff…
Posted by eric on November 18, 2005
I’ve updated the Live Music page once again. I need to find a better way to set that page up, because with all of the ticket stubs, it’s getting really long. Maybe something sneaky with DIVs to show or hide the stubs. Or not.
The site redesign is still in progress. I think I have a design I like. I just need to flesh it out some more. Then convert everything. Ugh.

what’s “yours” isn’t necessarily really “yours”

Declaration of InDRMpendence (ZDNet)
Every day, I get the ZDNet Tech Update Today email. Usually I just glance over it. But today’s had an interesting article about Motorola’s ROKR and how it’s actually not doing all that well. At the bottom, was a link to this “declaration,” a previous article by the same author. I was already familiar with the situation he mentioned at the top, about the difficulty of playing digitally-purchased music on a home stereo, having read that article a few months ago. As much as everyone sings the praises of iTunes et al, it’s not necessarily all it’s cracked up to be.

the digital switch

Senate Looks to Spend $3B on Digital TV
The digital conversion date keeps getting pushed back. I think everyone was supposed to start broadcasting DTV next year. Now, analog signals will be switched off at the end of 2008/early 2009. Of course, everyone will need a digital TV (or conversion box) to get the signals. And Congress doesn’t want anyone to be unable to watch TV. So they want to help people afford the converters. To the tune of $3B. Your tax dollars at work.

interesting…
Posted by eric on October 12, 2005
The Washington Post has an editorial about a proposed exception to campaign financing laws for Internet ad spending. Basically, it would consider the Internet to *not* be a method of “public communication.” Right now, it’s the subject of a House hearing. Interesting.

P2P gets pumped with $$$

BitTorrent gets US$8.75 million in VC money
They’re trying to make BT a more common way of distributing legal content. Like paid content. It could work, I guess. You pay for access to a torrent on a closed tracker, get your stuff. There are plenty of closed trackers that work. The article questions whether people would want to let their upstream bandwidth when you’re already paying for something. A valid point, but many people have more upstream than they know what to do with. But with BT, once a torrent was cooking, you’d probably be maximizing your bandwidth pretty well.
Of course, there’s still the issue of what happens to the content after you grab it, but that’s no different than any other distribution method.
