‘Tis a beautiful day for a wedding!

Alrighty, Steve Jobs has wrapped up his keynote speech at Apple’s Wordwide Developer’s Conference (WWDC). As a Mac aficionado, it’s my duty to offer my unsolicited opinion on anything Apple I’m going to jump right in without much intro, so if you haven’t heard all of the new announcments, I’d recommend visiting Apple’s Hot News page. Here goes.

The Washington Post has a good mainstream article on DVDs and programs that bypass controls that movie studios put into place on DVDs.

DVD Piracy Paranoia Proves Counterproductive

The interesting point this article raises at the very end is that the so-called “pirates” are actually those adherring to the free-market spirit. So how did this country get to the point where the government started opressing free market ventures and supporting monopolies and oligarchies?

Senator OK with destroying PCs

I’ll summarize. During a hearing, Senator Orrin Hatch asked a witness, “Can you destroy their set in their home?” referring to a PC.

The witness, an employee of a company that helps record lables disrupt file sharing networks, replied saying that “nobody” was interested in that approach.

“I am,” replied Hatch, saying, “I’m interested in doing that. That may be the only way you can teach someone about copyright… That would be the ultimate way of making sure” no more copyright is infringed.

That was on Tuesday. On Wednesday someone discovered that the Senator’s web site (http://hatch.senate.gov) used code created by a U,K. company, Milonic Solutions. Milonic Solutions charges for the right to obtain a license, but Hatch’s site had the following comment in place of the license:

“i am the license for the menu (duh).”

So under Hatch’s proposed “solution”, Milonic Solutions would be able to legally (under U.S. law) destroy a U.S. government web site server.

Absolutely positively brilliant.

Here’s Kelly’s new summer look. So the big question – does John approve?

Wow, today was an exciting day!

We finally signed all the forms and we’re now the proud owners of 4899 Laurel, Muskegon Michigan. We’ll be all moved in by August 1st, or perhaps a few days earlier. We’ll be having all sorts of fun decorating and gardening this summer. I already have color palets choosen for each room and Kyle is seeing our bank account balances plummet (he he he). Call us if you’ll be around and we’ll show you our new digs.

On another note, I got my hair cut today. It’s a fun summer look I think.

I’ve added a new section to the site – Memories is an area for collaborative storytelling. Confused? Well, I could tell you more, but that would spoil things, so just go visit Memories and find out for yourself. Right now the primary focus is on the college years, recently left behind.

Federal Judge Approves CD Antitrust Deal

Something to keep in mind as electronic music services become prevalent. No payola and a level playing field between small and large record labels will be vital to injecting competition back into this industry.

If these music services allow everyone equal access, without showing favoritism, the market will be free to work its magic and consumers will benefit.
