Winamp, iTunes and MediaMonkey

Here’s a comparison of Winamp, iTunes and MediaMonkey. These are popular and worthwhile music management programs (and players, also). I’ve been using MediaMonkey for a few years now and love it.
This guy gets some things wrong about MediaMonkey, though.
His first gripe is a lack of Inbox feature to manage music newly [...]

Sony’s DRM infringed copyright of infamous hacker

In an incredible turn of events, further analysis of the code that Sony has been using for both DRM (“digital restriction management” a.k.a. copy-protection) and PC playback of some music releases has shown that Sony has infringed on the copyright of infamous hacker DVD Jon (who’s been the bane of the MPAA and movie studios [...]

Boycott Sony

Seriously. I’d rather have you sue them if you’ve been infected with their malicious software, but we could all at least boycott the bastards.
A Wired.com article blasted Sony for not taking the necessary steps “if consumers are ever to trust Sony with their computers again. And the company still owes customers who have [...]

Sony is evil

Do not buy any music CDs from Sony (including BMG, Epic and Columbia labels)! You might have heard me say similar things in the past, usually linked to my “consumer activisit” blood boiling over because I’m mad at a company about something. But this is more serious than that. Sony has been [...]

From Star Wars to Category 7, by way of Toto

I’m back. This is weird… both because the connections are strange and also because I never knew of these connections before. The wife and I finished watching “The Poseidon Adventure” (with music by John Williams) and she popped on “Category 7: The End of the World” on the TiVo for a few minutes [...]

Nailed It!

One day, I got to 2 meters on the Saturn level of “We Love Katamari”. It was the second ring where you are supposed to get as close as you can to 2 meters and I got exactly 2 meters. I’m still working on the campfire level, though. But I already tried [...]

My Soccer Game

I scored a goal today at my soccer game. And Nicholas was there and he used to be at Miss Jenny’s pre-school class. He was on the other team.

…and now for something completely… the same?

Seems I can’t let loose around here without getting a reaction that’s not what I intended. So I’m leaving this site and am turning over the “posting duties” to my son. This means you’ll pretty much keep reading about Katamari Damacy and Star Wars. You may not even notice that I’m gone. So… forget I [...]

What have I done to you people?

So I post about some family photos and Andrea takes a crack at me. Then I post about “We Love Katamari” and Rich tries to call me a nerd.
What the heck?
Do I need to start posting about how much I hate my job and about how the constantly changing rules in sports or the [...]

One million roses

Well, I’ve noticed there’s been a distinct lack of mentioning something on this site that has totally been sucking up a lot of my free time the past month – “We Love Katamari”. It’s the sequel to last year’s most addicting video game. It’s kind of a “short” game, meaning that it doesn’t [...]
