Today marks the 40th birthday of one of the most vital factors of todays world, the Internet. Imagine a world with out e-mail, myspace, facebook, twitter, youtube, google map, hulu, ebay, and blogs?!?!?! I don't even want to think about it to be serious. Here's a video on how a professor (Leonard Kleinrock), who we have to be very thankful of, at UCLA sent the first bits of data to another from one computer to another.
So the other day I was reading about Miles Davis and John Coltranes relationship with each other. And if you are either Miles fan or a Coltrane fan or a fan of both you may know what I am talking about. Miles and Coltrane appeared on a handful of albums together, most notably Miles's Kind of Blue. So before starting a recording session Coltrane kept complaining to Miles Davis that he doesn't know when to end or how stop a solo. Miles Davis briefly responded by saying "Why don't you try taking the m*****f***** out of your mouth."
Here's a video of Miles Davis and John Coltrane playing "So What" in 1958:
If you come up to me and ask me what I am going to do this weekend this is what I will most likely respond with. First, homework. Second, I am going to be attending the 3rd Annual Hotel Congress Record Fest presented by HocoFest 2009. Whats better than a room full of rare and collectible records? Two rooms of rare collectible records. (Haha...) Anyways, it's going to be this Saturday September 5th from 9:00am-3:00pm and it is going to be inside the Club Congress (311 East Congress Street Tucson, AZ 85701) If you are an avid record collector/digger, like to see crazy art work, or just have nothing to do from 9am-3pm on Saturday meet me there.
Any fans of Ben & Jerry's ice cream?
Who isn't.
I am pretty sure we all agree that the people at Ben & Jerry's are very liberal. I mean come on - hippie themes, the creators being hippies, and the name itself has a hippie feel to it. Due to that liberalism and the recent enacment that allowed same sex marriage in Vermont (the company's home state) Ben & Jerry's will remane their "Chubby Hubby" ice cream (Fudge covered peanut butter filled pretzels in vanilla malt ice cream with fudge and peanut butter) to "Hubby Hubby" ice cream. Here is the a picture of the official container:
Even though the container is official it would not be selling under the "Hubby Hubby" name nationwide. Which is a good news because we don't want conservatives banning Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
