Computers Suck

It's funny because it's true.

Monkeys For DJs

When I was in High School a subject of intense and constant discussion was the general crappiness of radio. Maybe it's a New York thing, but it always seemed like there weren't enough radio stations playing music I liked. And the ones that did would endlessly play the same 10 songs.

It occurred to me one day that they could replace the DJs with monkeys and just let the monkeys randomly pick songs I liked.

Radio has since moved in this direction by phasing out the DJs, but it hasn't really improved much. Mainly because they're still picking from the same 30 songs and I don't like but 5 of them anyways.

If only the monkeys would play music that I already liked. Except then I could only listen to music I had already heard.

Leave it to the internet to resolve this problem. Not sure how it works, but you give it a genre or a band and it matches songs to that genre or band and provides you with a steady stream of quality music. No need to listen to everyone else's favorite songs, no DJ, just a room full of monkeys (I imagine and hope).

Not Ready For Primetime

I kinda thought this was going to happen. Palin's not giving any interviews, nor can we expect any sort of off-the-cuff talking with reporters. Speeches and only speeches, I suspect from here on in.

Weddings and Happy Times

Karen and Rodger got married! This all went down yesterday in San Diego. I was there, so I know. Pictures and what-not will soon follow.

The Hypocratical Old Party

The Daily Show, once again doing something that seems too obvious for words. Taking the spin machine and using it against itself.



Why can't CNN or NBC do this? Why is it up to a "fake" news show to point out the blatant hypocrisy in our nation's political conversation?
