Well looking back it ain't so bad. This blogging thing at least gets me up off the couch. It is a kind of wierd feeling when you suddenly realize that you can write anything here. And I do mean "anything".
For instance. I don't particularly like the Ipod. Nah, It is not because I'm an old geezer. The functionality, the physical package, and the interface are Great! It is just that the quality of the music is so bad. At a maximum data rate, the highest quality MP3 is 4.28 times worse than a Compact Disc at reproducing the sounds.
The generation before me and my generation spent a lot of sweat and money and time taking recorded music from the old wind-up players, to platters, to "hi-Fi", and to Stereo. Speakers were designed and built to help reproduce sounds as close to the original as possible. Now they seem to be throwing that away.
What's with that?? I do not buy the story that the music is so bad that it is not worth being faithfully reproduced. What do you think?
Pretty risky huh?? Saying that I don't like the most popular music reproducing on the planet? Not only that, It is made by Apple which happens to be the most famous underdog on the planet as well. Shame on me...

Negative ego trip
It's a good thing that I am not dependant on the number of people that read this for my daily bread. Woo Hoo... That would be a buzz kill for real.
I never thought that There would be a large audience for my ramblings during the job hunt, But I did think that the number would be larger than Zero. Insert picture of deflated Ego here.
Seriously folks. I did not even tell friends and family about my venture into the blogging world. That would be too much like selling girl scout cookies. I really wanted a place where I could spit out anything with no fear. However I kind of vicariously like the thought that you can't take back what you spit out. I wonder if it will withstand the time test. You know, read it a week later and think " Wnat a lame thing to think !! Even lamer to write it down where anyone could stumble across it ".
Oh yeah, on the job front... So far So good... still employed. But getting up at 5AM kinda sucks.
