RIP MacGowan

Really Sad that Shane is gone. Not unexpected, per se. Just – I’m sad.

I remember driving around in David George’s Honda Civic during Christmas break … listening to the Pogues. Good times … Loved the Pogues. Loved the Popes, too. RIP Shane …

Great Vid of the playing of Fairytale of NY at his funeral here.

Another great tribute (bio, etc) here.

I hate getting old – keep losing all these legends.

I think I will dance to this song, with Tina, by the fireplace, this Christmas Eve. Seems a fun way to acknowledge.

The Cure Concert – ABQ

Finally was able to edit footage from the May Cure Concert in ABQ with Elyce.

Hosting on the home server – plans (eventually) are to update the home site (/videos) with a menu system emulating YouTube (but self-hosted).

I’ve got so many other videos to compile from about 4-5 years back to present (trips/snowboarding) … more to come.

** Edit: ugh. Link not working. Will get to it here …

Pirates will always win

Interesting article on the NY Times site (a few weeks old – sorry. Been sitting in my inbox for a little bit whilst I tried to find time for this post) about pirating online.

I find it humorous that the video mentioned (below) uses the ‘cat tv’ format to throw off copyright-police-engines. Now you know why, in case you’ve maybe run across one of these silly videos.

My whole analogy of pirating (instead of whack-a-mole, as mentioned in the article) is a water balloon: you squeeze one end, and the water will move to another part of the balloon. Changing the elasticity of the balloon (laws) or the hand (enforcement) won’t work. It’s content distribution (the water) that some genius, somewhere, is going to figure out.

Argh … Welcome Ye’ Beatles!

Looks like Steve Jobs will announce that Apple has finally ‘conquested’ the Beatles portfolio for I-Tunes on Tuesday.

Um, I realized how little I would care when I perused my own music library. I don’t have any of the Beatles.

Congrats, Steve, on finally getting The Beatles after a decade long quest! But they’ve always been available (and free) on Pirate Bay.
