I posted a flash gallery of about 60 scenic photos on my personal website recently. Have a look if you like.
Sirius on the Mac
Hey internet radio Mac dorks. You might remember that I ranted about my struggles with listening to SIRIUS on the Mac OSX platform online a while back, and I’ve been lucky enough to get some good feedback from the development team for the existing sirius-related freeware about new updates. For that, I say thanks…
I’m a pretty busy guy, and like most online radio listeners, I don’t want to dive into a large project when dialing into my music each morning. I want to click once and hear my stuff, ya know? First, I decide whether I want to listen to music via iTunes (shared on 3 Macs in my office, so there’s a lot to choose from) OR - I dial into SIRIUS. Most of the time, I dial in, because, frankly, I love the shit. If you’ve ever listened to shows by Marky Ramone (29 Punk) or Jason Ellis, Jonny Mosely, Tony Hawk, Bode Miller (all on 28 Faction), Howard Stern Show, (Howard 100) etc. then you know what I mean. Something for everyone, and a lot for me! StarPlayr is my favorite right now (Dec. 07) over SiriusMac, but both seem to one-up the another with each release, and I recommend you try both and keep checking their sites for updates - hell, they’re both free if you subscribe to SIRIUS already.
It should be noted that the programmers of these applications had a pretty sour falling out, but I think this is good for us listeners. It keeps the competition up and gives the programmers incentive to create a better product, to piss the other side off - just like any industry… However, know this - the official Mac SIRIUS system is a joke. (No streaming data such as songs, album, artist, very horrendous tech support - Netscape 7? shit, that’s funny!) … So, support these independent guys. If you know of any other applications, think I’m full of shit, or have other input, please feel free to reply to this post. For now, here’s the links, and enjoy!
new istockphoto.com rates for 2008
Hey, if you use iStockphoto.com like I do, you should be aware that there is a rate hike. It should be noted that A) I’m not complaining and B) you shouldn’t either. They’re still the best deal around for stock images, with the new rates. Ten bucks for a high resolution image is still pretty kick ass. Hell, I hope the boost in rates is to pay the fine folks that work there. Can you imagine sorting through all the lousy photos to determine what gets used on the site? Yeah, I can’t.
Want an Epson Large Format Printer?
I’m not craigslist, but a friend of a friend is looking to sell one. Here’s the info:
“Epson 9600. 44″ wide. it needs a new print head because it’s been sitting idle for almost a year. Logged about 100 prints off of it. 7 inks. extra material as well. if you are interested, let me know. Make a reasonable offer if you’re interested.”
Surpise show
Hey, it’s the holidays and there’s lots going on. That’s my excuse for not knowing the Supersuckers were playing last night at the Beauty Bar - a mere 5 blocks from our office, in downtown Vegas. Lucky for me, though - some new friends (in a band called The Objex) clued me in at a birthday party last night, and my wife and I made the show. Here’s a couple pics. It was damn cold (yes, even in Vegas it gets down to the 30’s this time of year). Special thanks to Felony Melony and Jim Nasty for the info. Go see their show this week at the legendary Double Down Saloon or the Canyon Club. I’ll be there.
