Remember the days of Napster? Downloading music as easy as reading your
email! It was all fun and games until the legal system stepped in and
shut down the fun. Party times continued as other services such as
Limewire, Kaaza, Morpheus, among others took over the role, but now
we’re on the verge of some serious changes.

Hollywood and the RIAA are working to try to change the laws in this
country that protect manufacturers who design products that “could
theoretically” be used for illegal purposes. Photocopiers, Email and
even the backbone of the entire known Internet (TCP/IP) are in danger.

Fear The Llama Song by Burton Earny

Here’s a llama
There’s a llama
And another little llama
Fuzzy llama
Funny llama
Llama llama
Duck

Llama llama
Cheesecake llama
Tablet
Brick
Potato
Llama
Llama llama
Mushroom
Llama
Llama llama
Duck

I was once a treehouse.
I lived in a cake.
But I never saw the way,
The orange slayed the rake.
I was only three years dead,
But it told a tale,
And now listen, little child
To the safety rail.

Did you ever see a llama
Kiss a llama
On the llama
Llama’s llama
Taste of llama
Llama llama
Duck

Half a llama
Twice the llama
Not a llama
Farmer llama
Llama in a car
Alarm a llama
Llama
Duck

Is that how it’s told now?
Is it all so old?
Is it made of lemon juice?
Doorknob
Ankle
Cold

Now my song is gettin thin.
I’ve run out of luck.
Time for me to retire now,
And become a duck

Out tonight with when we came across a horribly overpriced oxymoron!

CVS sells a Disposable Digital Camera! Yes, a One-Time-Use digital camera! DIGITAL CAMERA! I know, I said what the fuck when I saw it too!

The camera is made by a company called Pure Digital Technologies, Inc. located in San Francisco, CA. AT first glance, it just looks like any other small digital camera. It’s got a built in flash and even a 1 inch color LCD on the rear.

Playing around with the camera, it has the ability to take a picture, review and if you chose, delete the picture. One downside is that when you delete a picture, you cant go back and delete earlier pictures. Once you take a picture, your stuck with the previous pic. This sucks for a digital camera!

CVS was asking $20.00 for the camera too, and that does not include processing/developing.

My recommendation is to just get a few disposable cameras, or spend the extra money and get yourself an inexpensive digital camera. You’re better off with a classic film digital camera which costs half as much and I would imagine the quality is higher.

Soon to come, pictures! Featuring of the inner workings of the camera. I’d have em for you now, but I just got a nasty shock trying to open the thing and I think I’ll wait until I have some insulated tools to try again 🙂 Worst case scenario, I can make a nasty stun-gun out of the thing 😉

When I got home the other night, I found a bag left on my bed. It contained a battery operated electric screwdriver. “Cool” I thought as I ripped it open and started to put it together… Curious what the metal clip at the top held in, I pulled it out and popped off the top, only to have the gears and grease-covered innard fall out onto my bed! ACK!

After putting it all down and thinking it through, I picked the driver back up and proceeded to reassemble it one piece at a time.. Successfully thank god..

Now, why would Black & Decker make something with a metal clasp out in the open that,as I later realized, was intended for authorized techicians only. and imagine if I wasn’t mechanically inclined, or couldn’t figure out how to replace the parts.

I still don’t know how I got it either 😉 Nobody’s mentioned that they got it for me, or that they left it on my bed.

I finally met this weekend. I went to hang out for the day, and I must say the day was eventfull…

On my way there, I stopped at a “lookout” point which was really neat. I pulled out the camera and took a few random shots of the landscape, rocks, etc.. I havent reviewed the pictures yet, but I will soon and if any are decent I’ll post em.

Met up with Sarah and we went out for starbucks. Throughout the day, we hit up Borders, Tower Records, Pearl Crafts and Wal-Mart. We almost made a stop at my favorite place on earth, Ikea, but upon realizing I was serious about bringing in the camera, Sarah chickened out 🙂 I mean, come one… So? There’s a chance you’ll run into someone you know while running around Ikea, taking fucked up pictures in the many “sets” they have conveniently built for you. lol

Though all my shopping, I picked up a book on Magic Tricks, a[nother] tripod for my cameras, and the movie Anti Trust.

After Hibachi dinner, and a late night run to Wally world, and a few games of pool (I actually won 2/4 games!!) we closed the evening watching AntiTrust… I didn’t plan on staying as long, and wound up leaving about 2AM… Surprisingly, it took almost 2 hours to get out there and about 45 minutes to get back home 🙂
