  1. The FCC voted to open up the "white space" between television providers for public use but President Bush and many others are against free WiFi for the masses. Read more about it here.

    I think it would be great if they allowed free Wifi. The only issue is security. If they figure that out, then open it up.

  2. The band has an interesting background. They're punk intellectuals.

    Im pretty excited. I downloaded the album and Im going to give it a listen in the morning while I am reading some more background information.

    I will post more info here when I am done with the blog portion.

  3. Dont like it... granted it's fast but I hate the lack of ad blocking options... or did I miss that somewhere?

    It is something they are looking into with the next release. There is a stand alone program out now that can be used, but I havent tried it.

  4. I have added a playlist to my blog so you would have something to jam out to while you do some reading. I am still working on the width issues and may just switch to another player. If you have any input, please let me know. If there are songs you would like to see in the list, also, please let me know. One final thing, if you want to donate change to the resident bum, please do so below:

  5. PS- Metacritic has The Bug's new album rated as the #2 album of the year. I couldn't disagree more. I guess it is huge in the UK, it seems to be a flop here in the US.
