Hmm...

I am supposed to write two more blogs to make my ten. I am not quite sure what to say...random things I suppose.
I would write about the awesome video the branch I work at put together for the Staff Day event...but if word gets out someone might snatch up the idea...and I don't want to contaminate the think tanks out there.
So what else is there? I cut off all my hair. My shoulders hurt. I am going to tile my bedroom floor tomorrow. I am going to eat some ice cream and go to bed.

Okay...so I didn't completely complete this yet

I am on the final week though. So you want to know what I am going to do with an MP3 player, huh?
Well, I already have an Ipod, that I store all of my music on. But I suppose that is all I would really use the MP3 for as well.
I won't use it for audio books because I absolutely hate listening to them. How can I enjoy a book if I am not reading? Sorry all you who love the audio book, I just can't get into a story, into the character's shoes, if I am not reading, it is probably a concentration issue.
So, yeah, more storage for my growing music collection.

Fourth of July

And I am completing this...eh, I don't mind.
Anyway, I liked both LivePlasma and MusicMap, the only difference I really noted in my search is MusicMap gave a wider variety in genre related to the search, where as LivePlasma if you search for a rock group it pretty much produced only bands from that genre. Both good tools though.

As far as the whole sharing music thing goes I am on the fence. I definitely understand the musicians point of view. They are artists and creating something, and though they would like to share it, it is also how they make a living. It is somewhat disrespectful. I mean if you stole a Munch (which has happened by the way) or a Dali or a DaVinci and you were caught you would be arrested, so why not have the same risk involved when it comes to music? Then again I...well, maybe I am just going to plead the fifth. Or how about this...I have known "people" who are "guilty" of burning music for their own personal use. However do I think they should be thrown in jail or stuck with a hefty fine? No, I don't...so, yeah, my opinions on this fight amongst themselves.
