Music World!

I read not to long ago the 4 major players in the music business are forcing tracking software on an Irish Internet provider, Eircom. Their not doing this to pick on Eircom, Eircom isn’t keeping track or monitoring their users from illegally downloading music for free. So when sites EMI, Sony, Universal and Warner found out they took them to court to force them to. The 4 major music players wanted Eircom to install a software program to track the illegal downloads, which would have solved the problem. But the problem was that Eircom was worried the software would interfere with privacy laws. So to make the music players happy they agreed to shout down any users using free music file sharing sites, which they really can’t track. So if your one of those people looking to share files you better do it with your flash drive, because you will be caught and taken down, anyway that’s what they say.

Room Setup!

Are any of you looking to save money on your home theater room needs. I have a room that I have set aside that I consider my home theater room, but it’s mostly used as a family room.  I have everything setup to make it a theater room, but it’s really not complete because I don’t have good lighting like a theater would have.  I have standard light fixtures as you would have a family room. Some day I will poke around on the Internet to find good lighting for my room. I will say this, I won’t be looking anytime soon until the economy turns around. Just don’t have the money to waste at this time.

Shutting Down!

I was just reading a small theme park located in Florida. The theme park is called Cypress Gardens is located south of Orlando. The park has been open since 1936, which was sold buy the original owners in 1985. The park changed hands a few times after that. I read that the park once employed almost 800 employees. When they closed their doors for good they had less than 100 employees. Hard times and problems with a settlement with an insurance company to cover damages from a hurricane hit caused the closer. Now it’s time to get the shipping boxes packed and ready to move on. It’s just another sad end to a happy place for many people. I did read that the current owners have said that they have several potential buyers. So maybe the park will reopen under a new owners and resume their tradition of offering a family fun spot.

Getting Geared Up!

Have any of you seen the hit reality show Project Runaway? I didn’t see it, nor have I ever heard of it. But I was just reading that Leanne Marshall who was picked by judges to win the show in the season finale. I also read that the show had a mentor. At first it was Jennifer Lopez, but she got a foot injury and was replaced by Tim Gunn. Now I’v heard of Jennifer Lopez, who hasn’t? But who in the world is Tim Gunn? Please don’t answer that question, I really don’t want to know. But what I would really like to see is some of these fashion models compete in some horse racing or something like that. The show can pick up some equestrian apparel to get them ready to go.  Then get them up on the saddles and see how they really do.  From what I saw of this show I would be willing to bet that 100% of the models have never even gotten dirty. So I guess we can skip the horse racing for now. Anyway, who thought up a show, a reality show about fashion design? Again, I really don’t want to know. I’m just really tired of these reality shows about nothing. Hopefully some of these networks out there and start coming up with some good shows soon, because we’re going to need them.
