12:07 PM - month goes by, and I don't even see it.

Well work work and play play makes a busy meggie all day. HA! I think I should update. I am really getting into some crazy deep water of the internet. Just started a Wiki for the dept. Its interesting. Wiki, its like geeze this is the future of the internet. These infinite databases going on and on and on, but what bothers me is is all the information actually accurate? I mean these can all be used as huge databases for things that are not published yet in books. Theres are tons of WIKIs already that are so intense and detailed where are we going? Its all there in one nice package that can be edited by anyone. INSANE... I guess we will see where they go, but its all wildfire right now!

so this month went by and I never saw it. I am reading/researching/going to class and learning about Einstein's theory of relativity as well as string theory and quantum physics. Its my little side project and I think its making me go insane... Iam starting to wonder if 3 of the same thing is happening at once now and somewhere else and all the possibilities of situations in life. Its a mindfuck!! (please excuse my french, but its so true!) I watched What the Bleep Do We Know, and now The Elegant Universe (we are watching that in class) and my mind just keeps on going and going where is it going is it in 3 places or is it in onem does this make any sense... YES NO! YESNO! Physics is insane yet it connects with everything. I will leave it there before my head explodes. I don't think my roomy would like finding me later today with an exploded cranium.

I must say I am late on the boat for another technology. Podcasts... I am not going to go overboard with them (i am preventing myself from doing so) but DAMN talk about the future of broadcasting. I particularly want to give a shout out to an awesome podcast on Tech. TWiT is This Week in Tech and is hosted by Leo Laporte. He has this show on Tech Tv (formerly ZDTV) called Call for Help and he had a show called The Screen Savers (was a HUGE fan of it back in the day). I interviewed him for a report I did on technology and computers back in 8th grade (yeah now a junior in college it seemed like yesterday!!!). He is a wicked cool guy and has this killer podcast now. Heres the link listen thats the long short of it..

And now for something completely different: MASHUPs. Yes I have seen them popping up EVERYWHERE on the contemporary music blogs, so I am going to revel in the madness! I first saw it with Dangermouse and the Grey Album mixing Jay-Z with the Beatles (what the hell is he thinking, brilliant!) and now its everywhere. Its an unbelievable format really mixing pop songs all together into one. I might try it out someday but its insane. Right now i am listening to one with MC hammer and Marilyn Manson, whoop there it is and like another rock song in it. just brilliant. I will speak more on this subject at a later time. For now here are some damn good links, CLICKY:

found that on beepSNORT so I give them credit to finding it, its AMAZING...

another great site.

I also started composing the Italy work. Not sure where its going to go but August is the month for it. I end physics on thursday. More to be done there.
Scriabin in an interesting guy, so is Busoni and Janacek. Most composers are really interesting people, which is amazing. Some are insane, but it comes with the title i suppose. I know that means nothing but its just me rambling because i need to write and can't but going to in 2.5.
CIAO!
