We’re looking just over a month for the release of the Wii. Lots of people have been enthusiastic over its release, and competitors have been encouraging their customers to subsidize the lack of material of their own consoles with the Wii.
And then it was announced to be released at $250 instead of $200.
Here’s why $250 [...]

I needed to laugh, so I grabbed Norm Macdonald’s new album off Emusic. It’s called Ridiculous.
It’s the typical Norm style of comedy. You kind of know where he’s going, but the journey is the fun part. I thought it would be standup, but it’s actually a CD of sketches. I actually wish there were [...]

The summer before fourth grade, my sister warned me that everything would change in the next school year. I’d have to learn cursive and use it everyday for the rest of my life. Later that school year I was sent down to the school office for a dumb reason. I didn’t hold my pencil correctly. [...]

Google Romance is obviously an April Fool’s joke, but I think it really isn’t too far off.

I came across morgueFile.
MorgueFile’s deal is that they offer free-to-use stock photos for corporate or personal use. They are NOT in the public domain, but are under their terms of service. Pretty cool. Looks like you can browse by directory (dogs, people, office objects, and tons more). They say they do this to provide material [...]

I’ve been thinking of getting Keynote. I don’t do presentations very often. Maybe once in a while I set up some Powerpoint slides, and I think Powerpoint is alright. The thing that’s most wrong with Powerpoint is the way that people use it.
There are 2 versions of the typical Powerpoint user. The most common is [...]

Come on now!
A third of iPod owners are ’stealing’ music on the net
“Free activity – both legal and otherwise – significantly outweighs paid activity,”
Does not mean the same thing as “All iPod owners are thieves.”
This article talks about how MP3 player ownership does not necessarily increase the chance of buying music online. What’s an online [...]

I was curious to see what my blog traffic is like.
A while ago I started using Google Analytics. This is Google’s free web stats package. All you do is create a site profile and paste the Javascript that it gives you into the pages you want to analyze. If you have a template page, like [...]

In my music business course in college we were assigned to go to a local music store and get the grand tour. I went with a few people and we saw the stock in the back, the repair shop downstairs, and the Audio and Electronics section in the back. They had a Plasma television on [...]
