Rock On, Tom Petty

“This is an emergency crisis we’re in. The entertainment media is affecting everything on the planet in a very negative way. I’m only interested in rock ‘n’ roll. Rock ‘n’ roll is a music that represents truth. Your TV channel has taken the word “rock” and knocked the “roll” off the end. You made rock this umbrella term for everything. That’s wrong. Shakira isn’t rock. These country artists with fur coats aren’t rock - or country. I offered a video to VH1 of my band playing in the studio and they don’t want to air it because it had musicians playing in it. They want some babe walking on the beach or whatever. I got turned onto this music by watching the Beatles and the Rolling Stones actually on TV playing their guitars. It completely took me over. When you can’t see musicians playing any more, I’m not interested any more.”

Over the Limit!

I miss two things: tech work and running. One is trickier to get, but the other isn’t.
Why? I want to run another marathon. My heart yearns for the long miles again, the hellish runs at Knight’s Ferry, the build-up to the race, the pain, blisters and sore muscles that let me know I was alive… Today, I realized something. Despite how little of it I’ve done lately, despite the low quality and quantity of it all…
I am a runner at heart. Time to dust off the water belt, mix up some drink, and just go for it. Fast or slow, long mileage or short, the road’s calling me again.
Anyone up for a relay in December? CIM (the California International Marathon), up in Sacramento, is tons of fun. You only need four people for a team 
I might join one with my family, but I’m always up for going to running events with lots of people.

It’s probably happened to you on one occasion or another… your favorite electronic gizmo, be it a laptop, a radio, or any other device powered by an adapter, stops working. Wiggling the adapter plug works for a little while, but ultimately you know time is limited for your device. This happened to me yesterday.

The French Government announced today that it is enforcing a ban on the use of fireworks at Disneyland Paris. The decision comes the day after a nightly fireworks display at the park, located just 30 miles outside of Paris, caused soldiers at a nearby French army garrison to surrender to a group of Czech tourists .
