Music and the 1 Terabyte Hard Drive. Complete.

I have had a series of posts about my ongoing CD ripping project started 1-1-07 and finished today 3-6-07 after 65 days of work. The first post is here, but you can see them all by using the labels (tags) feature. The final result is 10,629 songs for a continuous playing time of 29.8 days […]

Scooter Update

A busy day for me, to be sure. I came home after receiving the hernia news, and had a message to please contact the vet’s office to schedule an appointment for more blood work on my cat Scooter. Of course, I immediately called and made an appointment to do so. (If you’d like to see […]

Hiatal Hernia

I have a hiatal hernia — those are the results of the endoscopy. Because it’s not too bad, they are not recommending surgery. They expect to continue to treat my acid reflux with Nexium. I am to follow up with the original doctor in about three weeks. The hiatal hernia is causing the acid reflux […]

Nicolas Cage in Ghost Rider (Movie Review)

Yeah, so I saw Ghost Rider today. Had to kill time doing something that didn’t overtax my voice which is slowly returning. Hopefully it’ll be close to normal tomorrow at work, especially since I didn’t tell anyone about my Endoscopy. The movie is very funny — including in the places it shouldn’t be. I’m quite […]

Radcliffe scared to reveal all to Potter cast

This snippet from World Entertainment News Network: HARRY POTTER star DANIEL RADCLIFFE has begged his cast mates to avoid his hit play EQUUS because he’s terrified of them seeing him in the nude. Radcliffe, 17, has been hailed by critics for his performance in the provocative PETER SHAFFER written show, but urged his friends to […]

A380 takes another hit — UPS Cancels

UPS Inc., the world’s largest shipping carrier, said Friday it will cancel its order for 10 Airbus A380 freighters, following delivery delays. The decision will leave the European aircraft manufacturer with no firm orders for its jumbo freighter. The news follows an earlier decision by Memphis, Tenn.-based FedEx Corp. to cancel its order for the […]

Idiotic Windows Users

I realize my Mac friends will think the title of this is utterly redundant, and I would generally be forced to agree on some level, but I also use a Windoze PC besides my trusty Macintosh. (In this article when I refer to PC, I am referring to Windows based PCs. I am all for […]

Anna Nicole Smith Dead

Yeah. I realize it’s a sad time for her troubled family. I am not criticizing her in this post nor am I judging her. I just have one question. Why is this national news? It’s a tragedy when one of my relatives dies, but why does anyone care — it certainly doesn’t make the paper. […]

Blue Man Group’s How to be a Megastar Tour v2.0

Having seen Blue Man Group (BMG) both in their original Las Vegas show at the Luxor and now in their How To Be A Megastar 2.0 Tour (Sunrise, Florida, 2-23-07), I can honestly say that I am conflicted. Often, the first time you see a show is usually the best — there’s too many new […]

Terabyte HD and the CD Ripping Project Update

In three previous posts to date: one, two, and three, I’ve commented on this project. As of right now, I’m at 23.5 days of continuous music, representing over 8300 songs and counting. I’m on the Soundtrack section and this one’s interesting because I’m wondering exactly why I even bought some of these. Yeah, a good […]
