A Time magazine article on whether the internet has saved or killed the music industry. The conclusion seems to be that some people are taking advantage of the internet to download music instead of buying it, while for others they hear something on the internet and their interest is piqued and they go out and buy it.
I haven't bought any music in a long time. Probably close to 10 years. I do buy records, but I buy used vinyl records so I'm sure the recording industry doesn't really care about that. The music I download is either stuff I already have on record and want for my iPod, or music that I had before and lost the CDs.
I haven't bought a CD in even longer. Definitely over a decade. So, if the record labels want to say that I am killing their profits go ahead. I say make some decent music and maybe I'll consider buying it.

Temperature Here at Work
It's cold in our office. Really cold. Here is an IM conversation I had with an employee:
employee: do u think we will all freeze to death in the office someday
skooch: I think we will
employee: we are planning on building Igloos in cubicles to try stay warm. Is there anything we can do to change the temp?
skooch: I will find out.
Screen names have been changed to protect the innocent.
A new show called who wants to be an internet millionaire apparently aired and unfortunately I am not in the cast. I don't know if it actually aired on TV or if it's just an internet only thing.
I was an internet millionaire for a few months last year. But the value came down before I had a chance to sell. I am still very upset about that. If I had sold I could have made a couple million and then bought back my share of the company for 1/30th of the sale price. I kick myself for not doing so every single day. Hopefully the company does well and the value recovers because this was my retirement plan, college savings, and a house fund as well.
If anyone has any good ideas for web sites I have the skills to make a prototype at least.
Here's a sort of good idea, in a sleazy way... Help women get breast implants. I need something better, though. Another silly idea... Girls moaning your IP address.
And this woman needs some help leveraging her extremely vague and non-specific upcoming 15 minutes if fame into longer fame and more money.
