I have finished posting my genealogy online.  Feel free to check it out as a guest, or register.

The Stubbe Genealogy

FTW = For the Win.  It’s a MMORPG thing…

iTunes radio has been around for a while…but I just found it.  It has alot of great radio stations on it and a broad swath of ‘Christian’ stations, which I haven’t listened to and perhaps though they are not a good place to become doctrinated they are certainly a source for healthy music free of butt and fart jokes.  Though a good butt and fart joke is a pleasant thing once and a while.

Try the acapella station.

Can I just complain about this and then be done with it?  The motion picture association is suing a software company for producing a program that rips DVDs into an iPod friendly format.

In any case, this perverted idea that people aren’t allowed to reproduce content in different mediums for their own personal use is not only ridiculous it’s about 20 years too late.  Music, movies, television and radio all found their way onto cassette tapes and VHS in the 80s but now all the sudden it’s become easier to do and less time consuming and the music industry is in a panic…loosing sales and money.

Well, the music and movie industry is loosing money because they’re selling CDs for 20 bucks.  With the introduction of a new format (HDVD and Blue-Ray) people in general are getting somewhat pissed.  It was one thing to have to box up all my cassettes 10 years ago and my 8 tracks when I was 10…but packing away my CDs and DVDs is going to be tough…especially since I have them all stored on a hard drive.  I don’t need HDVD…just like I don’t need a cell phone or a microwave.
