A Valid Path

Last weekend I completed ripping my Alan Parsons CD collection and started listening to it at work off my portable media player. While listening, I figured I might as well google Alan, maybe there would be some interesting historical stuff on the web. As it turns out, Alan Parsons is still kicking and has a new album out! Even better, he's doing electronica now! I'll be receiving it shortly and will do a review.
This will be the first record without his long-time bandmates Ian Bairnson, and Stuart Elliott. The new album will take Alan in a new direction and into the world of electronica. Artists appearing on this record include: Nortec Collective, The Crystal Method, Shpongle, PJ Olsson, and Pink Floyd's David Gilmour.

Vision Man here. What have you got for a personal media player? ipod man myself. A new Parsons album, whatever his current musical flavor of the moment, is always a plus. Read a cool story the other day that the BBC is in the process of filming new Dr. Who episodes. Any thoughts?

I've got a Dell DJ. It's almost as elegant as an iPod, and equally as functional. I'd give it a 4 out of 5. The software that comes with it is below average, but after buying Dudebox Manager (from Red Chair software) I am much happier. This program syncs with the DJ in the same way that iTunes syncs with the iPod, and has an Xtreamer option that allows you to stream tunes from the DJ to any PC that it's hooked up to via a USB cable.

Parsons is one of those people who just can't stop themselves from making music, I guess - you know the kind of person I'm talking about. (One of them can be found at www.burkum.com/store.)

New Dr. Who episodes - that would be Incredible! Give us the link! Will it be on PBS?

US death toll in Iraq tops 1,000

Senator Kerry calls this a "tragic milestone," and the most catastrophic of the administration's mistakes made so far. Regardless of his mistakenly voting for the war at the time, he's right. For him to turn against the Iraq war is a flip-flop I would be happy with. Hopefully he has an exit strategy, even though he's not telling us about it at the moment. This is why Bush must be defeated in November. I realize the economy is an important issue, but compared to 1000++ dead soldiers? Come on. Not to mention 7,000++ wounded, and the 11,000++ estimated by the Iraq Body Count . This is a slam dunk, as George Tenet would say. Prediction: if Bush is [re]elected, the U.S. will engage in pre-emptive war against Iran and/or North Korea. Is that really what we want?

more of that rb interview

Q : So what do you think is a killer app right now? A : Probably Picasa . It's the best photo viewer/organizer I've ever seen. More than that, the interface for it is as good as anything I've ever seen for the PC. As good as Mac. I hope this is the future of PC software. Q : You say you're voting for John Kerry. Doesn't that make you a liberal? You say you're a libertarian. Why aren't you voting for Michael Badnarik ? A : That's a good question. I'm not a liberal because I'm an economic conservative. I think markets, not governments, are the source of our prosperity and happiness, to a very large extent. They're also one of the keys to world peace. When nations trade with each other they fight less. Imagine for a moment - a truly global trading bloc, without tariffs or duties. No one wants to fight because everyone is interdependent. Would this not be as close to a utopia as we will ever come (short of the second coming)? World trade...
