A Sad Time for Musicians

With the decrease in music revenue it makes it harder for labels to sign new bands. With many great and talented artists out in the world it is a sad thing because people with greta talent should be known. I personally buy music off itunes, but I also still by CD's of my beloved bands. It is only my hope that in the coming years the industry can recover and great new music will emerge.

Schools and Internet Censorship

Sometimes I believe that schools go to far censoring their students from material on the web. If the kid can't get at it in school they are just going to go home and find it. The schools are most likely looking out for their own interests so that they don't get sued. YET! Their are kids who are having sex and doing drugs in school while its in session (disturbing but true) yet the school cares more about censoring what's on the internet. I think there should be an even balance of punishment in school. People stop paying attention to what's happening right in front of them and become more concerned about what's going on online. That's just my opinion and I hope it doesn't offend anyone.

Domain Squatting

There was an interesting blog about domain squatting that I read on politicsandtechnology.com called The folly of speculative domain squatting.
People just buy up domain names that they believe will be popular and then later on try to sell them for more on sites like ebay etc. Many times people don't turn huge profit buying this. So why would people want to do it? Does anyone have any ideas?

Babies and Television

I was observing my cousins kid watching television the last couple days, and I noticed something funny. He is one and half and he can't sit still unless certain shows are on television. Any adult TV doesn't interest him.

the shows he watches are:
The club house mickey show
Handy Manny
Dora
Phineas and Ferb

I found it really interesting that he only likes children shows because I don't know how many kids will just watch any television. There must be something about these shows that draw his attention. It's good though to see a kid only watch a little bit of television a day though.

Bloggers getting paid?

General survey...

Do you think certain bloggers should get paid to blog?



My answer: No because I just feel blogging is a way to express what you are thinking or feeling or to tell a story about something on you're mind. I am open to others opinions though my judgement isn't rock solid.

Xbox 360

I love how so many Xbox 360's have had the "ring of death". The ring of death is three flashing red lights on the system where it usually falshes gree. This error is usually due to code errors or hardwar failure. In the first couple months when the Xbox was first released there were numerous cases of this error happening. It still happens today even though it seems less frequently with the newer Xbox's being distributed. Though many system errors happen when a new system is released. I honestly believe it is because the companies are so eager to get their product out as fast as they can to please the publics demand, but most times its at a cost. I think if companies took a little more time on their product it would be worth the wait.

Class Online

I enjoyed having class in chat. I felt it was easier for me to talk and I know I said more than I do in class. It seemed like we got alot discussed.

What did everyone else thing?
