I've done that muscle in my back again. Not too bad. Each time it happens it isn't as bad, but it's happening more often. I blame amp lifting yesterday. I blame my stuborness to not wait for help.

An Ask Slashot on moving from an IT career to science. Everyone jumping ship? Hopefully the only people left are the hobbiests so we can get down to doing some real work...

Interesting article about the rise of DVD sales vs. the crash of CD sales with lots of quotes from music sales favourite JB Hi-Fi. Interesting quotes on cost-selling (where products are sold at-cost) of DVDs. And other quoting that the soundtrack of a movie can cost just as much as the movie itself on DVD. (via The Age)

The RIAA is planning on suing individual file sharers using an obscure Clinton era US law on copyright material distribution. It's always argued that such a feat would be too expensive and not worth it but the RIAA seems desperate.

I'd like to see all file sharing software shut down and all CD burners crushed to death... and then watch music sale plummet to nothing and see who the RIAA blames then.

Meanwhile, studies predict the peak of Kaaza and Morpheus use to hit in 2005. (via ?)

This whole 'zilla thing could very well be a brilliant marketing ploy by the ownerz of the great and mighty ZILLA trademark. Pick on a blogger with full knowledge the entire blogging community will rally behind them, hopefully renaming their sites to match the zilla trade mark. THUS! spreading the mighty name of zilla throughout the internet... it helps that blogs are the "next big thing" at the moment too.

Or maybe not...

On another note : I hate it when I walk out of a gig and can't remember the setlist of the band I only just saw. Well, I played a gig last night and I can't remember the full setlist of what we played. I played the damn thing and I can't remember.

Feel excellent. Good proper sleep last night. Smell like smoke though. I hate smoke... and I forgot to wear my earplugs last night... the night I get feedbacked to death. RINGGGGGGGGGgggggg....
