Awesome Season Finale of Battlestar Galactica

Just finished watching the season finale of Battlestar Galactica, and it was a great end to season 3. Lots of twists, turns, and answers, and Jimi Hendrix/Bob Dylan’s All Along the Watchtower plays a prominent role.

The final Cylons were revealed and I would have never guessed them, Colonel Tigh, Anders, Chief Tyrol, and Tory. The return of Starbuck as a Cylon or savior?

Season 4 starts in 2008. 🙁

Here’s the end of the episode if you missed it.

The full episode is available on iTunes –
Battlestar Galactica - Battlestar Galactica, Season 3 - Crossroads, Pt. 2

The End of DRM Music?

Is this an April Fool’s Joke or is there truth to this rumor? EMI with Apple as a guest has a special announcement scheduled for tomorrow morning. The subject of the announcement is rumored to be the removal of digital rights management (DRM) on music.

So this means that the iTunes Store (and other vendors) can sell EMI music that can be played on any music player or software and traded without technical restrictions (legal restrictions still apply).

Interesting change of events…

Saw Local "Celebrities"

While out on a lunch break, I took a walk over to Ala Moana and encountered some local “celebrities.” At Footlocker, UH guard/forward Bobby Nash was shopping for shoes maybe cause of the new Friends and Family sale.

At the Apple Store, Galen Fox was at the Genius Bar. Yes, that Galen Fox.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have my camera handy so I got no pics. Even if I had my camera, I wouldn’t have taken any pictures. I was too scared that taking pics in Bobby’s mug would have brought out the wrath of B.Nasty. If I took a picture of Galen Fox, he mighta fondled me. :S

March Madness: Final Four Time

The Final Four is set and it comes down to who will win the championship will be the winner. If Florida repeats, then it is “show me the money.” Ohio State -> “Whoa Nice Shoes” and UCLA -> “Ditch Diggers.”

Will Gee Why have his AppleTV to demo to us at his house for the Final Four viewing party?

A Good Idea – Complete My Album

What a good idea! Apple tweaked the buying policy at the iTunes Store allowing customers to complete their albums if they previously purchased singles from that album. Instead of buying a single, only to go back and purchase the entire album, the rest of the album can be bought at a prorated cost.

If you fell into this situation within the past 180 days, Apple has a retroactive offer for your purchases.

Makes sense!

Update: Got an email from iTunes that says:

You have up to six months after first downloading a song from an eligible album to purchase the remainder of the album.

Added whos.amung.us

Just for fun, I added the whos.amung.us widget to display site traffic. It’s down in the Powered By section.

Update: Hmmm, kinda funky. The counter was climbing but recently went back to 1. 🙁

Update #2: I guess I misunderstood this. whos.amung.us tracks users in real time, not a running total.

The Zen Approach to Blogging

Who knew the philosophies of Zen can be applied to blogging? Here’s how:

  1. Get Over Your “Self”
  2. Free Your Mind
  3. Detach From Results
  4. It’s Up to You

Lots of truth in these four simple statements, but I don’t get the last parable.

Dwyane Wade’s Shoulder "Tightening Up"

Heat guard, Dwyane Wade, continues his rehab for his dislocated shoulder. In the latest news, Heat coach, Pat Riley, says Wade’s shoulder is “healing and tightening up.”

Tightening up?! Tightening up?! This is week 4 of his rehab. That’s a far ways away from being NBA ready with 13 games left on the Heat’s schedule.

I’m not one for a cheap shot, but if DWade returns for the playoffs, who knows what will happen in the heat of competition. Someone may “accidentally” bump into his shoulder… again and again and again.
