Last night I was awake at 4:30 AM and with no real chance of sleeping so I decided to go out to the couch. On TV I found the 1991 gem Nothing But Trouble starring Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, John Candy and Demi Moore. Plus a bonus cameo by Digital Underground.

Tomorrow Apple is going to announce some BS about iTunes, probably streaming and probably the Beatles catalog. No matter what they say just remember that Apple doesn’t care about music they care about money.
Streaming audio services have a history of living for a short time and then leaving their users in the lurch. Apple is a big company but they can choose to exit the business at any time if it’s not making money.
The moral of the story is to own your music and have it free of digital rights management. Rip it from a CD you own, buy it from Amazon MP3 store or even from Apple’s DRM-free tracks on iTunes. The catch being that the Beatles probably won’t be available DRM-free. I’m not saying to do anything illegal, just don’t get caught in the DRM trap. Buy music, pay artists, but be free to listen to your music how you want, on the device you want at the time you want.
Quiet Marin County California was the scene of a devastating snail explosion at the birthday party of 59 year old Danville, CA resident Chadwick St.-OHarra.

One can only imagine the snail would be satisfied with the situation had it survived the frying pan.
Rodeo fans and NASCAR fans are all secretly hoping for the same thing, carnage and mayhem. Tragically they all get what they want sooner or later.
In this video from the Canadian Finals Rodeo in Edmonton a bull has had just about enough and decides it’s time to leave.
Jump to the 2:10 mark for the exciting part.
CTV has additional footage.
Zatz Not Funny brings us good news on the DRM laden e-Books being distributed by public libraries. Previously they were limited to devices that support Adobe’s digital rights management, but the Bluefire Reader now allows Apple i-Devices to read the free (as in beer not as in freedom) e-books. Support your public library.
