Some gorgeous timelapse HD footage from Yosemite, great shots of El Cap.

The topic of conversation on everyone’s lips has been SOPA and PIPA. It’s great that there’s been a huge surge of solidarity from the internet community en masse about it. I find it strangely disturbing that there was no such action for NDAA or the many other laws put in place that limit our rights. It is what it is though, I guess. Can’t take away people’s tubez. It keeps them happy. Don’t mind the military drones being deployed on native soil, controlled by a joint effort between the military and local law enforcement.

It’s frustrating, I wish more people would pay attention. Perhaps it’s just all too far gone at this point?

At any rate, I’ve been doing fairly well (to all the people that read this blog, aka no one). Work has it’s ups and downs, just like it does for everyone. I do get to jump around to different challenges though. This week I’ve worked on our internal digital signage/metrics display, did some web design, worked on a project to reduce internal productivity waste… all sorts of things. So that’s nice, I get to stretch my mind in a lot of different ways. The politics wear on me though, it’s frustrating, and challenging in all the wrong ways. It’s what everyone goes through though. Everyone has a different idea of what’s right.

It’s my fourth year at Geek Squad City, which is strange. It still feels like I just started… sometimes. I’m fairly certain that it’s the first job, nay career (at this point) that’s made me so driven.

I’ll try and update this blag more often in the future. As my friend Legend would say, “stay slinky”.

Guess I really lucked out this time. No business owners trying to stab each other. No random, crazy small business own hoopla. There are definite bonuses for working for Best Buy.

Listening to thesixtyone, and reading Quartz Composer development blogs. All is quiet.

I have decided to drop the idea of using Bit Torrent for the file distribution. It would have been problematic at best, especially considering the bad press around it. I guess I’ll have to take advantage of my unlimited bandwith plan

To submit any music I’ll need a minimum of an email from the copyright holder(s). I will obey any legal requests for a take down of a posting immediately.
