The FCC is requiring all cable providers to have Firewire enabled cable boxes available to any customers that request them. Apparently this makes it very easy to record direct digital copies (some channels are encrypted though).

This is a pretty cool idea I think. I’m not a huge fan of live recordings but I can think of a few shows I wouldn’t mind having. (Nirvana ‘93, Akron, OH)

I’m going to be in New York for Saturday and Sunday night if anyone wants to come hang out. If you’re in boston take the China town bus for 10 bucks and gimme a call…..cmon…you know you want to.
Pretty cool idea. I wonder what you’d have to pay to put one of these on a building. I hate flash websites btw, they’re so elitist and they’re near impossible to read.

There’s an article in the Baltimore Sun about how the Justice Department is “waging war” on pr0n. Don’t we have bigger things to worry about? A war on terrorism, a war on porn, what’s next, a war on jealousy? It’s so ridiculous. When will this country learn that there are some things that you will never be able to stop because they’re part of human nature.
Drugs are another good example, The US will NEVER win the “war on drugs” It’s absurd. I’m so tired of this country’s need to be squeeky clean. I’m pretty sure this is just another one of Ashcroft’s brilliant ideas.
My favorite is this article which talks about how he made the government spend $2,000 on curtains to hang in front of a partially nude statue so they wouldn’t be included in pictures of him.

3 Tbls Munton’s Crushed Roasted Barley
3 Tbls Crushed Dark Crystal

Removed from heat and added the malt extracts and brown sugar. Boiled for 30 minutes and added the wort chiller (great investment). Boiled for 20 mins more and added finishing hops for 2 mins. Ran the wort chiller for 10 minutes cooling it to 80 deg F. Added to 3.5 gallons cold water and took hydrometer reading of 1.050.
