1. It was 16c-20c all weekend.
2. I golfed FraserGlen and Valley Golf this week.
3. I was golfing in shorts, in february. How glorious is that?
4. I won 20 bucks at poker. If i had limped out early, I would of won 40-60.
5. Stacey and I tried to watch "Saw", and we simutanously turned it off.
6. We watched most of the Oscars over the phone, before Stacey got bored of beyonce's 10,000 performance, and went to sleep.
7. I downloaded albums Montreal' "The Stars" and Britain's "The Kills"

I don't talk about my Vonage voice service alot, because, it just works. I love it. From web based Voicemail to automatic ring-down to my cell phone, it's just works amazing. Plus, at 19.99 a month (around 24 after taxes), how can i go wrong? I have had a few funky experiences. Today when I called Fed-ex, it was routed to the states call center instead of Canada, and I've heard that calling Pizza Hut (310-1010) doesn't work either, but in both cases, they can easily overcome. Anyways, here is some propaganda that Vonage canada sent me today. More area codes, WIFI Phones and Videophones. Sweet.
Vonage Email Snippets:
More New Area Codes Available
Vonage Canada is expanding our service so that we can offer customers the widest possible selection of Canadian area codes. We already offer 15 different Canadian area codes in 6 provinces.

"By the end of this year, you should be able to get a local number with Vonage Canada in virtually every major Canadian city," said Bill Rainey, President, Vonage Canada.

Today was release day. New Discs from Tori, Ben Lee, and others.. Maybe I'll find a complete release link. Hopefully, I'll be able to source copies of Tori and Ben Lee.

Monday Afternoon, Its 12c and sunny in abbey. Rumor has it that the golden horseshoe got hit by a snowstorm. Gotta love that! :) I should be golfing instead of posting, however, I'm trying to continue my streak of posting here.
1. I have been told that grammar and spelling on my postings suck. As a rule, I try to spell check, and proof read my postings. However, sometimes like yesterday, I leave the blogs open for a long period of time, so instead of losing them, I just post them up. I suppose I could set them as draft, but then I might never post them or even worse, they loose that "In the moment" feeling. Anyways, yes, Stacey I will try harder to correct my grammar and spelling.
2. Speaking of Blogs, recently there has been a ton of hype around them . I guess they are the "thing of the moment". Time magazine covered blogging, and this past weekends Vancouver Sun (link?) there was quite a spread on blogging. However, I hope all this hype does not burn blogs out. I really enjoy blogging and reading blogs. All this attention to blogging has already attracted the eyes of the big boys, the corporate whores and the people who generally pollute the net. For instance, all this hype has lead to a large increase in blog comment spam. The Vancouver sun article quoted somebody (I wish I had the quote) as saying that blogs might lead to the end of corporate media. I shutter every time I hear this sort of crap. Mp3's haven't caused the downfall of the music industry (Yet, maybe someday..), the web store hasn't caused the death of retail, instead we've seen more of a convergence to a clicks' and mortar concept. As far as blogs go, I think that people are still timid to post their actually thoughts. Now that we are all given a forum to speak, we get up on are soap boxes, and edit ourselves. I rarely post blogs that have any sort of personal sediment. With this idea, I do think we will start to see the blog locked down a little more to create more communities of bloggers. I could possibly see the blog morf into a forum/BBS style system, where it's a group of people with common interests blogging, and we start to chose who can read our blogs. In this more intimate setting, bloggers will probably get out shells and actually express their thoughts.
To summarize, It's funny, now that we are empowered with a soap box to shout from,
we are all chicken shit to say what we are actually thinking. :)

Sunday morning. Arf. 4 posts yesturday. Can You tell I'm back in BC and bored/lonely?
Last summer, CBC Radio did "50 Tracks list of essential popular music".
Now they are back with 50 Tracks of Canadian pop songs
So far, they are up the 80's round 1. I'd have to say comparing the 80s, where they picked such songs (so far) as "Rise Up", "High School Confidential", to the 70s where they introduced such classics as "Takin' Care Of Business", "Heart of Gold", "American Women" and "Sundown", the 70's seem to still define "Candian Rock" as we know it. It's still preety hard to go a down and listen to rock radio in canada an not hear at least 1 of the songs from the 70s. I will agree that songs like "Try" by Blue Rodeo are amazing songs, and truely define a time in canadian music, I'm just not sure (unfortunally) if they have made the lasting impact like "American Women". Only "I'm and adult now", from the list has seemed to make a lasting impact on canadian music. I belive another eposide of the 80's is still to come. I'd like to see some early Tragically Hip, Bryan Adams, Rush, perhaps (laugh if you will) Men with out Hats or Glass Tiger. Can anybody question the fact the moronic "Safety Dance" is sill being played on Radio?
Anyway, Iove the "50 Songs" series. Again, CBC Radio does it again with a compelling reason for me to actually listen to the radio.

A email conversation today between Stacey and I concerning my "Pathetic" choice of 5 songs. They aren't my favorite songs, but the first 5 tracks I could think of that meant something to me. Note, the numero uno choice, the lemonheads, which means, I was thinking of YOU first and foremost. Yes, you can publicly say "sorry".
Email
-----
Stacey, I expect more to.
You have been blogged. You are warned.
1. Lemonheads - US
2. Dr. Feelgood, My all time favorite hair rock song
3. Don't you forget about me - Theme song to my all time favorite movie, if you understand the movie, you understand me
4. Solitary Man - Johnny Cash - The state of mood, I'm in most days, far away from home, and not knowing anybody. It's sort of my theme song
5. Killing in the Name Of - Mad props to the day' of old. It represents so much of a day gone by, and a pit i used to instigate.
:-)

From the Mythtv mailing list. John C. Dvorak's article from the latest PC Magazine:
Message: 2
Date: Sat, 19 Feb 2005 00:39:13 -0600
From: Andy Long
Subject: Re: [mythtv-users]Article on MythTV in the latest PC
Magazine - Article included
To: Discussion about mythtv
I disagree with your assessment of Dvorak's article. I sometimes
disagree with him, but I really don't think he paints MythTV in a
negative light whatsoever. This is posted for the purposes of
academic discussion about the article and its implications.
------BEGIN ARTICLE-------
While you have surely read about HP Media Centers and new DVRs from
cable providers, the real action is underground: a slow and steady
invasion of incredible products created by slick young coders who are
sick of products designed not to make life easier but to appease a
Hollywood preoccupied with digital rights management. The leader in
this effort is MythTV, perhaps the most powerful DVR yet devised.
MythTV is all the rage among high-level engineering types in Silicon
Valley. It's the brainchild of 26-year-old Isaac Richards, who told me
he started it two and a half years ago because he "was bored." MythTV
is a free software system written in C++ that, when combined with
various TV tuner, audio, and other cards, will turn a small computer
into a slick, powerful, feature-rich DVR. Do you hate commercials? You
can set it up so that it doesn't just skip commercials in playback but
never records them in the first place, so there's nothing to skip.
The software also incorporates MP3/Ogg features, along with slide
shows and everything else you can imagine, including WebTV-like
functionality for the TV set. While Richards has carefully avoided
adding any illegal features, such as DeCSS for ripping DVDs, the
architecture of the product works with plug-ins. In no time, someone
anonymously threw a plug-in into the ether that allows a MythTV box to
rip DVDs and strip out both CSS and Macrovision code so the material
can be transcoded. This means that MPEG-2 DVDs can easily be turned
into MPEG-4 files and watched on a laptop or even passed around
trading networks. Worried about country codes? Forget it, they're
gone.
Richards is working on the 17th version of the software and has about
15 coders working with the source code, adding features, debugging,
and tweaking.
What do the MythTV folks get out of all this, besides praise? If you
listen to them (and the users), they get TV the way they want it.
This movement doesn't stop here. MythTV is just the tip of a
multimedia iceberg that has managed to float under the radar so far.
For example, at CES, as far as I could tell only Transmeta was showing
a MythTV lash-up. Few showgoers had a clue as to what they were
looking at.
MythTV is a Linux-based system and requires some knowledge to set up.
Windows users are seeing a similar effort called myHTPC (my Home
Theater Personal Computer), a much looser initiative that first
appeared in detail in 2002. myHTPC is not a wide-open architecture
like MythTV, and it seems to emphasize quality imagery, especially by
incorporating various line doublers and other tweaks that are out
there if you look hard enough.
Probably the most interesting of these is DScaler, found at
http://www.dscaler.com www.dscaler.com . According to its Web site,
the project has a simple goal: "The DScaler project is an ongoing
attempt to get the best video quality possible from a Windows PC."
Like the MythTV team, these folks are essentially using the
open-source approach to public development. Headed by deinterlacing
expert John Adcock, they're producing code that gives you the
image-improvement power that was once the domain of Faroudja, whose
line doublers used to cost thousands of dollars.
All this activity within the video-image realm is a result of needing
to find a purpose for the wasted power of today's processors. We've
been waiting for a jazzy new direction in personal computing, and this
appears to be it. This is the real convergence we've been told about.
And what's interesting is, yet again, it's the small shops with the
smart young coders doing all the heavy lifting.
Everyone I know who has ever seen or played with MythTV wants it, but
it's a do-it-yourself project and not for the timid. Eventually that
will change as packagers appear and bundle prebuilt systems together.
There are other implications of all this. In a changing universe,
technologists will refuse to be hemmed in by artificial roadblocks
created for the purpose of maintaining the status quo. Microsoft and
Hollywood and whoever else can create all the DRM schemes they want;
they can sue college kids for trading songs, block trading networks,
shut down BitTorrent systems-but it won't do them any good. The forces
of "We want it our way" will overpower them again and again, because
that's the way technology works.
And this will all be shared. In a networked, computer-based world, the
sense of community breeds a socialistic desire to share, not covet.
This mentality is at the root of all the open-source activity and
cannot be ignored or denied. I want my MythTV.

I love my MythTV. I use KnoppMyth as the basis for my box. It lets me record Smurfs and The National, and watch them back to back for a surreal experience.

sledgeblog: January 2005 Archives
1. Random 10 consecutive tracks from iTunes
I don't use iTunes, and I'm scared of the iTunes loving freaks. Instead, I bring you 10 random tracks from my winamp. I have it set to fire off each morning, creating a random playlist for the day. Here's the first 20 tracks of what it generated today.

2. Modest Mouse - I've Got it All (Most) (3:08)
3. Travis - Why Does It Always Rain On Me? (4:25)
4. Ladytron - Ladybird (4:38)

1. Random 10 consecutive tracks from iTunes
I don't use iTunes, and I'm scared of the iTunes loving freaks. Instead, I bring you 10 random tracks from my winamp. I have it set to fire off each morning, creating a random playlist for the day. Here's the first 20 tracks of what it generated today.
1. Inspiral Carpets - Two Worlds Collide (4:37)
2. Modest Mouse - I've Got it All (Most) (3:08)
3. Travis - Why Does It Always Rain On Me? (4:25)

That's sort of fun. The only really sucky song it picked is moist "leave it alone". As well, I have no idea who "Mystic Chords Of Memory" are. However, If they are in my collection, I put them there. I'm sure they are good :)

For some reason, the Ultra-Cool Mp3 Bloggers have not mentioned that Tori Amos has a new album called "Beekeeper" slated for release next tueday. The early reviews on Amazon say;
"The Beekeeper returns the quirky singer to the same whimsical terrain of 1992's Little Earthquakes, but with much stronger storylines, and a much more assured and nuanced voice. Her best yet"
As a long time Tori fan, and a fan of of her early work, I'm excited to hear what she come with.

Well, no talk of Halifax today. I'll get on that sometime this week. Instead, on the eve of the cancellation of the NHL season, I think it's time to talk about it. Some how, up to this point, i haven't talked at all about the NHL Lockout. Perhaps, I'm like every other good canadian hockey fan. I love the game, but I don't give a fuck about the business side of it. I want hockey back, i want the NHL and the NHLPA to come to an agreement. I don't care about contraction and salary caps or salary taxes. I care about hockey in hockey markets, such as Winnipeg, Hamilton and Halifax. I care about ticket prices, and resonsible conession prices. Most of all, I care about quality, old-time hockey night on Saturday night on the cbc. As for whatever Gary Bettman and Bob Goodenow think. I really, don't care, I wish they'd get together, have a few beers, perhaps scrap it out and get the deal done, like canadian. Leave it to the lawyers and the suits to figure out the detials.
Here is a email i got today from the NHL Fans’ Association (NHLFA):

Bob Goodenow
Executive Director
National Hockey League Players’ Association
777 Bay Street, Suite 2400
Toronto, Ontario
M5G 2C8
Dear Mr. Goodenow:
After reviewing Commissioner’s Gary Bettman’s letter delivered earlier today
to the NHL Players’ Association, the membership of the NHL Fans’ Association
(NHLFA) appeals to you in the strongest possible terms to accept this
proposal and put NHL players back on the ice.
It has never been the desire of the NHLFA to take sides in this dispute; our
role is to present to you and to the NHL the views of hockey fans who
support the National Hockey League and pay your members’ salaries. We
believe the revenues coming into professional hockey are more than enough
for both players and owners to receive fair compensation.
However, the majority of our 26,700 members feel the NHL Players’
Association must be willing to concede to reasonable terms, which we believe
have been presented to you, by the NHL today.
Remember, this conflict has taxed fans’ generosity and patience to the limit
and there will be serious consequences if your association chooses not to
accept the NHL’s offer.
Sincerely,
Jim Boone
Co-founder
