DRM sucks. I said it before, but the recent Sony malware episode really makes clear DRM is just plain evil in it’s current state. I mean sure, I guess people are allowed to protect their content right.(I’m not going into the fact that I want to play the music I bought anywhere I feel like [...]
Remember that cool amen narrative sample in that Fucknose set I talked about here? Of course you don’t, but that doesn’t matter, I just came across the whole thing, a history of the Winstons “Amen Brother” break.

The Danish beer is licensed under a [...]

By pure chance I came across this site sproutworks.com that seems to be containing a copy of my blog (actually, I was doing an ego search on Google, but I’d rather not mention that). In fact it copies all blogger.com blogs in a so called Blogger Aggregator by fetching the atom.xml, and storing it in [...]
