2/4/04 - This week's EVE Vault discussion is about Future Interfaces.

Last Thursday I was listening to a local "alt-rock" station and
heard that Amy Lee of Evanescence is "sick of playing music from
Fallen" because it was lyrics from her late teens. I'd love to see
them come out with a new album, but that's a fairly depressing thing
to hear after buying tickets to their show! I'm hoping it was just
an exaggeration.

Many people, many other people, watched the superbowl on Sunday.
I've only watched one Super Bowl and it was the last one the
Patriots one. I'm not a big sports fan. I'd rather play sports (or
games for that matter) than watch. Anyway, with all the hullabaloo
they made about the half-time show, maybe I made the wrong decision.
I keep wondering why CBS would ever have MTV produce anything for
them. CBS is like ten times bigger, can't they do it themselves? I
guess maybe they expected MTV's specialization would make it a
better show. Honestly though, MTV lost my interest when they stopped
being about music and began airing traditional shows. The FCC is an
extremely out of place agency. Sure, it is important to enforce a
rating system, but that's not what they do. They enforce antiquated
rules. Remember the vchip? Well where is it today? Why is it that we
aren't allowing broadcast channels to broadcast whatever they went
within the rating? Even more important, why would the FCC fine for a
LIVE broadcast? You can't control a live broadcast, trust me I was a
DJ for awhile, I know. Also, where are all these "angry" people who
were upset by Janet Jackson's breast? Why is it OK for our children
to see violence and murder on television but not the human body in
it's natural form?

I'll be on vacation next week and might not have time to post the
weekly update. I will be writing a weekly discussion and chapter of
Tanga, although I'm not sure when they will be published. They may
have to be posted before I leave.

I have updated my iTunes Playlist again. It's had a ton added.
