Muxtape remembers

Posted by Christian - 07/10/08 at 11:10:14 pm

Since the once great Muxtape has been RIAA’d to its knees, about the only thing it can offer is a listing of your playlist as it was on closing day, August 18.

For the memories: http://muxtape.com/remembers/christianross

Although, I must admit, I would prefer to have ended with my first rather than my second muxtape. What is nice is to see a quick glance at what your followers/followees were jamming one more time in attempt to locate good music on your own.

Drunk emailing?

Posted by Christian - 07/10/08 at 01:10:56 pm

Somebody at Google must have had a bad habit of drinking a little too much and using his/her computer for communication purposes following. Looks like they used their 20% rule to create a way to curb their drunk dialing emailing.

Gmail labs: Stop sending mail you later regret

Enabling the feature in your Gmail requires you to answer a series math problems in a certain amount of time to be able to send the email between the hours of 10p and 4a on Friday and Saturday nights.

Now, if only we could get this system into every car on the road.

My only questions are: Where do I find one of these lenses? And will it fit on my Canon HG10?

Awesome. The music couldn’t be a more perfect soundtrack.

Bailout passed

Posted by Christian - 03/10/08 at 05:10:11 pm

But I will vote again for Kenny Marchant. Though I’m not happy with the results of the vote, I am happy to report that voices were heard and spoken for. A major reason why we live in the greatest country in the world.

Now that the damage is done, I just hope the markets get what they wanted… a boost of confidence. In my opinion, that’s all the problem was in this situation. Everybody on Wall Street let their emotions get the best of them. The sad fact is that greedy people will always be greedy and we will see other issues arise similar to this one.

I just prefer to not have the government try and bail us out every time. Sometimes you have to pay the piper…

And if you care, the note from my representative Kenny Marchant: Continue reading Bailout passed…

& Tee

Way overpriced but these ampersand tees are pretty sweet.

More bailout ranting

No matter what side of the fence you sit on politically, I urge you to contact your Congressman TODAY and tell them firmly that their job will rest in their decision on the upcoming vote.

Last week I contacted both Senators for the state of Texas and my district’s Congressman and explained to them my thoughts on the measure. The message was heard and in an overwhelming upset the House of Representatives turned down the measure and did what they rarely do, be the true voice of the people.

From everything I have heard, greater than 95% of the people do not want this measure to pass. We don’t want another Trillion dollars to be added to our already insurmountable debt. The numbers of calls, letters and emails have swamped your representatives. So much so that their websites have been intermittent in service handling the load.

So why then did our Senators not listen? Continue reading More bailout ranting…
