Thanks to all the nice folks who have been responding to my ad. Except for the weird jackass who sent me some sort of weird spam/cry for help. Your on your own there buddy.

Well I placed another ad looking for musicians/songwriters on craigslist. Here is hoping that I get at least one decent reply.

I am not asking for the moon. I am just looking for people who can string some cords together into a decent song. Is that asking a lot?

Here is a pic of my dad without a beard. Something, to the best of my knowledge, I have never seen. I think I will keep my goatee until I am in my seventies so that I can shave it off and look all fresh faced.

Alanna and I are back from a nice weekend in Morgan Hill at the Jon Chick resort for the mentally deranged. We drank lots of beer, swam in the pool, and played music in the poolhouse late into the night. I got a littled burned out in the sun. Serves me right. Never wait until the end of the Radiohead record to get out of the sun. Just when you think its over, it keeps going and going.

Went around the corner to Amoeba for some new music today. We used up the rest of our store credit from the cds that we sold and here is a list of what we bought.

Wilco – A ghost is born
Secret Machines – Now here is now
Modest Mouse – Good News
Death Cab for Cutie – Photo Album
Guided by Voices – Earthquake Glue
Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Fever to Tell

Here is a list of some other new music that we got, and I am not sure when. Maybe our CDs are procreating for themselves now.
Stone Temple Pilots – 4
Polyphonic Spree

In stupid news today , Research firm Garner, is now saying that enterprises should ban the use of iPods, USB memory and other Flash memory devices. The theory being that people can use them to bring viruses and malicious code into a corporate network environment.

I think while we are at it I think we should ban the hard drive, the browser, disk drives, cd-roms, and keyboards. Because, I guess people can use those to bring code in as well.

Give it up. If people want to do bad things to your network and they are on the inside, there are millions of ways for them to do it. Especially if they are the ones who are keeping your infrastructure together.

One jackass takes a digital camera to work and copies a file onto the network that brings it down and it’s an emergency. “We should lock down all the desktops. Employees should not even be able to disable their screensavers without a full IT audit.” What about the 10,000 fucking morons a day that click on some phishing email or pop-up or bring in some fuckin Word DOC macro virus. All that bullshit and they want to clamp down on the 99.999999% of the employees who just want to bring pictures in, or listen to music.

People always focus on stupidity prevention and never on education.
Why not take a good look at why people want to fuck up your network?

After Columbine people were all up for banning rock music and video games, but not a lot of people wanted to look into how those kids got the guns and why they were so angry.

Alanna and I went to Big Sur for July 4th. We hiked, ate, drank, drove around, looked at art, and even rode horses.
You can check out all the fun on Alanna’s site.

Big trees, big fun, and lots of space. (oops, no exploding things and drunkin fistfights, sorry we forgot)
