Blogging Mark Griffith and Flaming Lips

I was just asked to answer a 15 minute survey to help make blogger.com better. Sadly, they didn't leave any option to make comments/suggestions, so I couldn't suggest adding comments functionality! What's it called when the thing you want to complain about prevents you from actually complaining? It's like trying to get someone on the phone at Yahoo! to get help for your problem -- even if you are a paying customer. "Hello, I pay you $39.95 a month and no one there will answer the phone..."

On another topic, the thing I admire most about Mark Griffith is how work is just something he does in between vacations. That boy (Mark) has his priorities straight! I am sadly the opposite.

And finally, I downloaded some Flaming Lips off of Kazaa tonight. Forget this RIAA lawsuit crap -- I may actually buy one of their albums just because of Kazaa. And here is a band that never gets played on MT-freaking-V!

And double-finally, if the RIAA is going to sue me for downloading music, I am going to claim that my computer was hijacked by a super-virus into downloading music. Let's see a federal judge moan when I bring in that issue of Wired that shows how these viruses work and ask the RIAA to prove that I actually typed in search terms into Kazaa. Now that I think of this, I'm a genius! On the other hand, I'd likely just put the $1200 fine on a credit card (to get the miles) and go back to downloading again...
