Thought of the Day

Monday, August 2nd, 2004

When dropped from the roof a three story building, all laptops, regardless of operating system, crash at the same rate: 9.8m/s^2. Fortunately, I have not tested this theory on my beloved iBook.

Pissed Prose

Sunday, August 1st, 2004

You only want to “understand”
so that you can disagree.
Don’t like what I think.
Don’t like that I’m me.
Don’t like that I can vote
differently than you.
Wouldn’t you be happier
if I blindly did what you do?

iTunes Crossfade

Sunday, August 1st, 2004

Does anyone know of a crossfade plug-in for iTunes that will crossfade songs when (1) using the skip back/forward buttons and (2) double-clicking a new song in the library? Basically, the plug-in should always have iTunes crossfade between songs, not just at junction of the end and beginning of a two songs. If the plug-in also had BPM matching, you could even be my hero.

Want a free iPod?

Sunday, August 1st, 2004

Here’s the 100% honest deal:

  1. Click this link. See below.
  2. Join the site.
  3. Complete the Ancestry.com promotion. This requires a credit card, but you will *not* be charged as long as you cancel within two weeks of joining.
  4. E-mail me telling me that you completed a promotion. (My email address is “officially@[the domain of my website.com]” A clickable version of my e-mail address is available under the Love Me menu.)
  5. Refer 5 friends to do these steps relative to you.
  6. Receive your free iPod mini or new 20-GB iPod.

You must be thinking, “this has to be a scam.” It is not. The company makes money by referring people to promotions. Most people forget to unjoin a promotion and then the referring company makes more money on the referral. The iPod incentive is just a method to get referrals and hope that people forget to unjoin a pricey online service. As long as you unjoin after getting recognition for your participation within two weeks of joining the promotion, you will not pay anything.

EDIT: I have now had five referrals complete a promotion, so go find another one of your friends that need a referral.
