Zeppelin Mothership Disturbs The Force

My wife purchased some music at Fred Meyer today... Mothership by Led Zeppelin. Given the fact for the past 5 years all the music both of us have purchased has been on iTunes, the acquisition of a vinyl LP (you know, the black, somewhat bendable, 33-1/3 RPM stuff) is a rather strange, unsettling experience. I haven't even purchased a CD in several years. It's probably been 25 years since I've personally purchased an vinyl LP. If you would have asked me a week ago, if I'd ever buy a vinyl LP, I'd probably have answered "Hell no!". The only exception might be an older album that I wanted to digitize in transfer into iTunes.

A vinyl LP? What the hell? Where are we going to store it? It's so damn big!! "There's a disturbance in The Force."

Happy Birthday Little Brother

When you little brother turns 50, it's a moment to pause and reflect. I've paused. I've reflected. Happy 50th birthday bro!

Really! 50???

So Mama Don't Take My Kodachrome Away

The Eastman Kodak Co. announced today it's retiring its most senior film because of declining customer demand in an increasingly digital age. The world's first commercially successful color film, immortalized in song by Paul Simon, spent 74 years in Kodak's portfolio.

It enjoyed its heyday in the 1950s and '60s but in recent years has nudged closer to obscurity: Sales of Kodachrome are now just a fraction of 1 percent of the company's total sales of still-picture films, and only one commercial lab in the world still processes it.

twitter tracker! twitter tracker! twitter tracker!

Conan O'Brien has been poking fun at twitter, with his twitter tracker bits. It's pretty funny and the announcer has a voice that's absolutely puuuurfect. His show on Thursday June 18th, they did their latest set.

I was in a conversation with my son, Ryan, and we were cracking up at some of the phrases, one thing led to the next and I assembled a ringtone for my iPhone, featuring the phrase, "twittertracker! twittertracker! twittertracker! " It's annoying, but funny.

Of course, I couldn't stop there. In checking The Tonite Show site, they actually have a twitter feed @tw1ttertracker and an associated website twitter-tracker.com.

But wait, there's more. I had to do some research and found that the domain tw1ttertracker.com was available. Funny that NBC didn't register the domain, since it's their twitter account handle. So, yes, I registered the domain and uploaded my ringtone for your listening pleasure. Enjoy.
