I think I have imported every cd that I have into ITunes at this point. I still don’t have the songs I’ve downloaded off download.com, but I think I will do that only for the best of the best.
Thus far the numbers look like this:
558 Songs
1.5 Days
2.05 Gb
And I’m guessing about 85% of that has been purchased since my introduction to podcasting in Septemberish, 2004

I’ve been experimenting with garageband for my podcasts. Though it seems fairly straightforward there are some things that are upsetting me. For instance, it says that I should be able to add images into it by dragging and dropping. That is a no go for me. I’ve dragged and dropped until my butt is dragging and my spirits are dropping. Nada.
I’m going to try fo a bit longer, but if I don’t figure out how to get added value out of it, I’m just gonna go back to Audacity. If I can’t get the pretties out of it, I might as well go for easy.
Wired News has an article about scientists trying to get commercial amounts of hydrogen from algae. I find it fascinating. I think that sort of thing is the way to go. Fuel from renewable resources.
Considering that the way insulin is produced is very similiar, I’m all for this sort of thing.
The Mahablog has an interesting way of looking at the abortion issue.
I’m spending the first day of my seven days off doing very little. One thing that I am doing is populating the library of ITunes on my new laptop. I’ve been popping cds in for an hour or so now. I’ve noticed a couple of things about ITunes on the Mac. First, it works much faster on the Mac than on the PC. Second, the iBook’s speakers SUCK. Big time. It is sad that I can plug in a pair of 98¢ earplugs and increase the sound quality. It does, however, make me want to get some wireless speakers.
You know the weakest spam comment attempt is the one that says some version of “do you allow readers to subscribe to this blog’s rss feed?”.
Since rss feeds are things that are designed to be tapped into, it seems to me to be pretty much an insult to the blog owner’s intelligence to ask a stupid question in order to try to get past the moderation queue. If you want to fool me, you got to come stronger than that.
One (perhaps the only, I’m not sure) of the games that came on the Mac was chess.
I’ve played it 2 times now. I’m already tired of getting my a$$ handed to me. It’s not that I have to win. It’s that I need to feel like it’s possible.
I don’t believe I’ve got a shot at beating that darn thing.
Discovery Channel’s MythBusters is one of my favorite shows on TV. Not that I’m much of a TV watcher, but this show grabs my attention when I do have a few moments. Anybody that takes the time to investigate wether urinating on the third rail of the subway would actually shock you is okay in my book.
