Been watching lots of movies lately.. in fact, in the past four days, I have watched:<\/p>\n
*) Men In Black
\n*) Scooby Doo
\n*) What’s the worst that could happen?
\n*) Smiling fish and goat on fire<\/p>\n
Actually, the first two were rather comic – two movies in a row with talking dogs, even. I was actually the most impressed by Scooby Doo. I don’t know what it is with the movie remakes of 70s television shows, but this has to be one of the better examples of the genre..<\/p>\n
I did, however, find myself more than mildly incensed by the 4 minutes (approximately) of full motion video advertisements taht preceded the movie.<\/p>\n
In other thoughts..<\/p>\n
You know, the christian church is what you get when you make god in man’s image.<\/p>\n
Saw the great patriotic happenings at Gasworks park with P. – truly brilliant fireworks. And, being someone with a criminal record for fireworks posession [and someone who helped put togeather a fireworks show twice]<\/p>\n
On a side note – what I want to do with the mpeg library..<\/p>\n
is make it a library.<\/p>\n
I know, mp3.com tried that. The music companies went nuts. But we could do something that mp3.com couldn’t do.<\/p>\n
We could hold the physical assets.<\/p>\n
If you have the physical CD, do you have the right to play it to ‘one’ person, for the cost of providing that service? (i.e. operating as a non profit corperation)<\/p>\n
This opens up another interesting hole for you to slip through – because you don’t have to be *one* nonprofit. If only 1\/1000th of the napster crowd are dedicated enough to set up a independant library service, you suddenly have a LOT of nonprofit orginizations to squash.<\/p>\n
But the software has to be bulletproof.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I seem to be repeating myself. I suppose this is what happens with senility – I’ll stop having new ideas shortly, and then I’ll just repeat the two dozen or so old ones I’ve had over and over in subtily different ways for the rest of eternity..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
