For some reason, all of a sudden I can only have one thing at a time connected to the internet. I can have my laptop online, not my iPhone, but then I can, now... Before I couldn't, does the Netflix box work now? Yes it does, so odd earlier today. I don't know, think somebody might be fucking with my internet. Several system wide reboots and all seems well so far. Why does Simplify Media seem to be uploading a ton all the time? Quit that thing until I get a dock I can use at work, even then it'll be too noisy to listen to, seems rude to wear headphones at work but that might be my only recourse. Think Simplify Media is a spy...

Watching the commie lympics reminds of a horrible stripper experience. The ex gymnast may be able to work the pole like no other in a strip club, but don't buy a private dance from her. Lap dance from a gymnast is like you are the apparatus, her strong legs will squeeze you and rub aggressively like they are looking for a score from a judge, a disappointing experience as a patron.

Netflix has upgraded my account to 2 discs out at a time due to some lawsuit settlement. Better pay attention and make sure it automatically downgrades to 1 disc out in 30 days. It better, Netflix has been kinda off their game lately, stuff has to come from across the country, it's late to show up. The Roku Netflix Player still works as it should.

Read on Slashdot that Pandora might just fold up shop due to the outrageous fees charged by the RIAA types. But I just took a survey from Pandora, I gave the best answers I honestly could, might've gave some better than best because I want Pandora to continue. For example, said I use it on a handheld device, I don't but know I can, so said yes. Hopefully my survey response will help Pandora to decide to stick around and challenge the BS fees for online broadcasting streaming of copyrighted music.

Had a power outage tonight due to high winds. My linkstation didn't show up after a reboot. Thought sure it was fried, but it came back after a hard power cycle. Phew, I'm sure some would be happy if I lost all my music, but I wouldn't. Now Simplify Music has to rescan again, good thing it was free.

Damn! some huge thunder just now. If I was smart I'd unplug all electronics, but not gonna 'cuz I'm dumb, still scanning.

Was driving home through downtown and judging by the amount of emergency vehicles along the river on Washington Street somebody either jumped in or fell into the Spokane River. It's been so hot I don't blame them, but c'mon, you'll most likely drown. Kinda need to apologize to my neph, but not really because he knew I was baiting him, and it didn't work. Damn this heat, makes me do/say some stupid things.

Find it sort of funny that the Sun Sun Sun song is on a Saturn car commercial. If you listen to the whole song there's a reference to being drunk and being fun. Not exactly what a car company should be complacently promoting. Great song, bought it. Now I'll go drive drunk in my Saturn car. Maybe if I was in a Saturn car instead of a Mazda truck I wouldn't have been pulled over years ago.

Great movie, had no idea Michael Madsen (interviewed in the November issue of Hustler) was in it. Movie seems so old it should be in the public domain, nope, another 100 years or so for that. War Games

I've been waiting over 4 hours for this Simplify Media thing to complete scanning my music library. Why does it take so long? I've sent an email to the company inquiring what I can do to make it faster. Is it because it's SMB and not a local drive?

The Simplify app is very cool, I can stream my music on my home network to my iPhone via 3G or EDGE or WiFi, just need it to finish scanning my library. No 3G for me, but if I had a new iPhone 3G would work.

I can see my nephew's iTunes library on my iPhone, not mine yet because it's still scanning. No offense to my Neph, but I don't like heavy metal as much as your library suggests you do.

update: It works! I can see my music, stream over EDGE. Think the Simplify Media servers were a bit overwhelmed by the response and couldn't handle all the new signups. I rescanned my library and it only took a few hours to find over 6000 tracks, and it was accessible while it continued to scan, so pretty sure Simplify was slammed yesterday when I first tried it.

Some nice guy has digitized all his old 78 records. Is that illegal? Maybe, depending on how old the recording is. Sad thing is that this guy's efforts are probably the only effort made to archive these artifacts. Rum and Coke old school, with kinda imperialist / sex trade lyrics by The Andrews Sisters. Here's a great one My Son Calls Another Man Daddy by Hank Williams.
