Well I had iTunes running and all of a sudden everything stopped and then Fetch Loaded and rewrote my index.html file for my blog to update this. Which is what I expected but not when I wanted it to happen exactly. So today decided to make it a cron job to be run at night when I am not at the computer along with the other normal mac repair stuff it does at night.

So enjoy the new song that took over the Wallflowers. Modest Mouse currently has 62 plays where as wallflowers now has 61 plays. So we shall see what happens. If anything 11,000 songs to search through it might be a while unless I get hooked on a song.

Okay I went and saw this movie with the McLee and Jon and some other misc people. I really enjoyed the film until the end when things just started to go crazy. It was great until the part where all of a sudden they are in the woods and you start to think Woods. WTF where did woods come from. That was a bit crazy. But other then the end making no sense at all I rate this movie as a 7 that could have been an 8 if woods would be in the industrial part of Detroit. I was impressed with the camera work and the way I didn’t notice the music at all because it just blended in so well. Movie flowed will with no stop on the action but opening the movie up with a drug deal and the F word so many times was like Whoa. Then Gunfire and then the movie just kinda took off from there. There was good use of hot chicks they actually did something I was impressed.

The sound quality in the theater sucked with a constant hissing of the film and I caught a blip of the DTS Time Code on the actual film once. But I tend to notice those kinda things. Also the part where it said “8 months later” was cutoff do to poor cropping of the film when it was 2.35:1 in the theater and the actual movie was filmed in 2.40:1 aspect ratio. Which means if this comes out in Full Frame or Pan and Scan which is 1.33:1 if your lucky on a TV there is a lot of loss and those people who say Widescreen sucks. Your an idiot do you realize how much of the film you are losing watching the full frame. Most people have never seen Star Wars in Widescreen and the aspect ratio of that film is in 2.40:1. People buy these 16:9 TV’s and still complain about the black bars on them. But people don’t really take any time to get a full understanding of how film works.

I got a phone call from Unavailable ID while I was in the theater left no voice mail. Last time I got an Unavailable ID at a movie theater left me a death threat and didn’t take that to lightly and got the police dept involved and got a call from them and the phone company on that issue last time and it has been resolved. I called my Sheriff friend on this and with no voicemail to do any kind of searching on they couldn’t do anything. Sprint didn’t offer much help either. If it would have been Unkown I would have answered it because it could have been someone at Sirius or XM having a question about an e-mail or the website.

Well anyways that was the night in a nutshell. Played some WoW got Gypsy Mod installed now off to bed.

I had a dream that Mac’s were taking over the computing world and things were more Mac like. I had a remote that I could access everything with I could walk up to a door and remote would get a spec sheet on the door telling me things like the voltage of the door and how many times people accessed the door. Then I could login into the door with SSH and give it some commands via Linux Terminal It was pretty sweet. And then I came home and all the walls were like a mosiac slideshow with little parts of the walls kept flipping over and over changing the way the walls would display and if someone called it would show who was calling in the wall tiles it was pretty sweet. And then I looked down and saw my SkyFi2 just sitting there and then I hit rewind on Oceanlab - Satellite so I could hear it again I love that song. I am also addicted to Derb by Derb great song just heard it last night called in and requested it for the 33.3333333 countdown on BPM XM 81.

I still have yet to hear back on my idea for Sirius Raw Dog Comedy probably get some canned response. I don’t even know why I bother to e-mail Sirius with cool suggestions to make radio even better when they don’t e-mail me back. So till then I just post at SiriusBackstage. Well I am off to bed and going to do some planet hacking tomorrow. Perhaps I will decrease the temperature of the earths core by 1/2 a degree and somehow find a way for a volcano to spawn in Indiana and Force an evact or be vaprized.

Man okay that post seemed very stupid. Guess had a childhood flashback for a moment there.

Have to iTunes it for ya =) There are two different mixes of the song it’s a good one I picked up the single since it was only $1.98. But it’s a great track the music video is good on Ministry of Sound Mainly because it shows hot girls washing a car while getting naked.

A friend of mine said having Nudity on a Blog brings in more visitors. lol

Anyways have a meeting tomorrow with the production company need to think up some ideas so they can make money. Getting kinda tired of being a DJ at weddings and doing shows for drinks when me the Tech Guy doesn’t really drink at all. So we shall see what we can come up with. We will be having Thai Food so that will be good. Then got some party on Sat night for Kenneth since he is leaving. So there will be lots of drinking at that. Not really into drinking that much I like relaxing with the buddies having a brew of Fat Tire but other then that drinking not my thing. Have Sunday and Monday off two days in a row. Get some homework and some slacking completed. Been kinda shopping for a newer car perhaps a Dodge Dakota? We shall see with the Tax Refund =). Got a new job offer from my step sister pay would be a lot more and great experience for a resume doing some network security. That would be good and it’s Full Time so we shall see where that goes. =)

Hope everyone is well.

Well I am just sitting here at my desk just doing some homework and listening to my SkyFi 2 and I had been thinking about this idea for a while and I just got a little refresh on why Satellite Radio is so great. I sent this little e-mail last night to XM Comedy channel 150 since I like XM Comedy more then Sirius Raw Dog Comedy mainly because of sound quality and content. I sent this e-mail.

Subject: XM Comedy Ideas

I have been an XM Subscriber since 2001 and have loved XM Comedy since
that day it has been great. It was great when Mark used to run the
channel until he had that run in with the law. But I like what spin
Sonny and Joel have put on the channel. But I would like to get more
into the Comedy Club Scene but it takes a long time to browse all the
websites. Has XM Comedy ever thought of doing a little bit of Comedy
News like like on BPM XM 81’s Bullet Points? At the end of the news
give out where all the major comics are playing you could do it maybe
like once every 3hrs or something. Just an idea I had I thought I
would share.

Keep up the awesome work.

And I was sitting here this afternoon and Joel Hass one of the PD people on XM Comedy called me and said that he really liked the idea. And was going to run it by Sonny his boss and that they were always open to more ideas and they knew who I was because of all my past work on ClubXM.com and my posts on XMFan.com which is pretty cool to be known. I have yet to recieve this kind of feedback from Sirius when I send anything in. The only time I got to get feedback from Sirius is when I went with the crew of SiriusBackstage.com in October 2003 which was probably one of the most amazing times in my life which I will treasure always. But anyways just thought I would share that since it was something awesome that I got to experience. Getting a phone call from XM =).

I had the pleasure of seeing Sideways at the Lynnwood Theater on Bainbridge Is. Since that was the only spot it was playing that was of any close distance in WA. I must say this is probably one of the best films I have ever seen. It’s a tale of Miles and Jack and a journey they have on Jack’s last week before having to get married. And they meet two girls on a trip through the californian wine country and everyone can imagine what happens.

You can view the trailer here Sideways Trailer: Large It’s not really a mainstream film but it has been nomiated for several awards. This is one of the few great movies that come around every so often if you just take the time to watch it. It wasn’t playing in many theaters but if you have the chance to still see it please do. I keep hunting Amazon.com for a DVD Release Date.

Well I have yet to hear this on any XM or Sirius Satellite Radio channel and I have looked and I have heard this song before but I found it on iTunes and had to get it. So for all those who would like to pick up this song here is the link.

It’s a little quirky but it just sounds really good and happy it’s something that kinda reminds me of a Modest Mouse but with a bit of electronica sound to it.

Ohh in case you haven’t found it me and Preston have been working on some projects together and I will announce that more in detail when we finish up the first project and move on to the second for everybody to check it out. Anyways download legal music it will make you feel good. =)

I have made 80 cents so far from iTunes Links on my site =)

EDIT:: Here is where I had heard the song before TomThinks.com
