Today feels like the first day of spring. Desperate *not* to b at work.
Coming down w/a cold. *again* This is like the 4th time since fall, or more. I’m so tired of always feeling like crap!
I have to remind myself that I’m a lawyer, not a social worker / substance abuse expert / anger management counselor. Ugh! ⇒ I so have that problem. Double-ugh!
Want to take Car Talk with you? Be our guest. Just prepare to be shunned when news gets out that your iPod is loaded with Click and Clack. ⇒ Finally!
There really r times when Metallica is completely appropriate. Really.
The idea is simple: take your TV, your DVD player, your video iPod, your XBOX 360, your laptop, your PSP, and say goodbye to them all for seven days. ⇒ You can take my tv, but my laptop? Never!
Richie Ramone, one of the drummers for The Ramones, lost his fight to get paid for 6 songs he wrote because a judge said that digital files are not “manufactured or sold” but are instead transmitted and licensed.
Wha? So when I pay someone (e.g., Apple) to “buy” a song, and I download the song and do whatever I want with it (listen to it, share it, give it someone as a gift, etc.), I did not “buy” it? Apple did not “sell” the digital file to me? Sure, music from iTunes and other online music retailers has restrictions, but they are easy to circumvent and hardly change the fact that the digital file is “sold” in an online music transaction. Except, apparently, according to this judge, that’s not true.
See why I don’t practice copyright law?
Today is finally the day of the Democratic presidential primary in Pennsylvania. Keep your fingers crossed that today will finally put an end to the godawful self-swiftboating the Democratic party has been giving itself for the last many weeks. Let’s have a decisive win for Obama and move on to making the case that he’s going to be a better president than McCain, ok? Priorities, people, priorities!
