I am too lazy to sort
A genre of YouTube videos that have become a favorite of mine, besides the covers, are the spinning record video. Put some vinyl on the turntable, point your video camera at it, start her spinning, listen to the music, and jam with the grooves. I am particularly fond of the Jamaican grooves you can find. I wish we can get these as MP3z.
Chasing tunes on YouTube and I always look for covers of songs. I like covers. There’s just something fun about them. How the artist covering the song changes it around or how they don’t, it’s great to listen to a familiar song done in a less then familiar way.
Go check out this site that categorizes and compiles covers of songs. I’ve barely scratched the surface there, but it’ll lead you to some nice covers.
When Artificial Intelligence goes dumb.
It’s an interesting item, because it is an example dumb computing. Dumb computing is dangerous. If they don’t learn, how do we? WOPR should show us the way.
Tonight’s Orioles game was postponed so I ended up at the movies to catch Water For Elephants with Mom. I don’t know which I was dreading more those Damn Yankees drubbing our Orioles or a Robert Pattinson movie. I hate those Damn Yankees, but I think I would prefer that than this movie.
Robert Pattinson is Jacob. Go Team Jacob! He’s a Polish veterinary student who ends up in the small time circus. At first, he’s just a carnie, but later is hired on to look after the animals especially the eponymous elephant who will bring fame and fortune to the circus owner/ringleader. Of course, he falls for the owner’s wife. Cristoph Waltz is the ringleader and he’s still a Nazi; this time manic depressive. It is a classic love triangle story. I’m giving you a cursory summation of the plot, but you can guess how it all ends.
Pattinson’s Jacob was barely out of college. Living in upstate New York, he is naive to the ways of the circus. They’re freaks, clowns, grifters and movers who know the world better than him. Pattinson’s Jacob just wanders the circus wide eyed. Even after joining the family circus, he’s still naive. I couldn’t believe Reese Witherspoon’s Marlena would fall for him. I just couldn’t believe Pattinson’s acting. He witnesses Waltz’s iron fist control of the circus, and he gaily strolls into the love triangle believing he was the better man. It made me shake my head, roll my eyes, and sigh wishing he would get a clue. Is that how the book went? I bet it read better.
I wanted to get out of the theatre in order to read the book.

This girl I know needs some shelter
She don’t believe anyone can help her
She’s doing so much harm
She’s doing so much damage
But you don’t want to get involve
You tell her she can manage
You can’t change the way she feels
But you can put your arms around her

Just bought one of these SSD drives from OWC. I’m using as my storage disk for music and photos. Or rather, I am planning to use it, but like the last hard drive I bought, I haven’t gone through the steps to break down both media libraries and transfer them to that drive.
Yup, it’s a network drive hanging off the Airport Express. I chose an SSD drive so that I don’t have to worry about spinning disc failure. I, also, want to connect it to Mobile Me and Back To My Mac so that I can access it from the road. Yet, I can’t really figure out how that all works. I have yet to successfully log onto my Mini from outside the house. I’m even having trouble with logging onto it via remote desktop while I am home.
All this network computing — it’s all ridiculous.
