Ahoy There Matey

to say that digital media piracy has really come into itself in the last few years, to me, would be as understated as calling Noah's flood a "light drizzle"

as hollywood tries in vain to save us from the evils of the like of those at The Pirate Bay, it is invariably spelling its own destruction.

this is a topic that is quite close to my heart so i was thrilled when i read this article in Vanity Fair that a friend fowarded to me.

it is a slightly long read, but definately worth it.

Take Me Away

by lifehouse:

first time i heard this... not bad.

A Dark Congregation

i just installed windows vista.

it is pretty awesome. lots o cool interface crap and all. took a while to get it to run the way i like though. but it is doing great now.

love Aero. in case you haven't seen it you gotta check this shit out.

most of you know the situation Bridget and i are in now. those of you whom i haven't told in person have alluded to the knowledge of it anyway. so i'll leave it at that for now.

should be an interesting few weeks ahead.

oh, by the way check out the band "the hush sound" and their album "like vines"

Hazard Pay

saying that the weather has been alittle harsh lately would probably qualify as the understatement of the season.

saying that the weather has been alittle harsh lately in anywhere Erie or the surrounding 'snow belt' areas would probably get you stabbed.

we have around 3 feet of (permafrost) snow on the ground. last night we got about a foot. i was up to shovel my driveway this morning at around 4:45 a.m.

i didn't even get into work until around 8:45 and just the drive in should qualify me for some hazard pay.

out for now...

Lots and Lots

a bunch of stuff has gone down since i last posted here.

my dad had a double heart attack. he's out of the red for now but it is more than likely that he'll have to have a bypass.

also another event has come to light but i am not at liberty to discuss it just yet.

i know i promised updates. i'll try real hard to make it up.

out for now
