Dropped off Cam and Melissa at the Tampa airport this morning, in preparation for BabyTour ’05. I got up at 2:45am; we brewed a batch of Tim Horton’s and hit the road by 4. Here’s a few pictures!
They should have touched down in Calgary just a little over an hour and a half ago. 🙂

New Cube and Firefly
Decided to have a bit of fun with Photoshop tonight. Hope you like. 🙂
Moved into a new cube at work today, woo! It’s a little smaller, but it’s configured better: now I can see people walking up to me. The entrance is also no longer beside a main department walkway. Yippee! On the downside, I’m neighbours with Cam so I get stuff thrown into my workspace on a random basis.
Watched my first episode of Firefly tonight. First impressions? I like it. The video was a little dark (or maybe my TV is burning out), and it took about half an hour to finally understand Capt. Malcolm ‘Mal’ Reynolds’ speech — he talks really fast — but the show is amazing. It’s a western in space. There are guns. Standoffs. And special effects. And the characters are endearing. Mal is one complicated guy. It’s a really unique combination, and a very cool one at that. I’m looking forward to the rest of the box set. 🙂 -
US Supreme Court: Filesharing services may be sued
I can’t really say I’m too surprised. The way some of these filesharing services operate, it’s clear they’re being two-faced. Their suggestion is that people use filesharing services for finding free music and government filings. Free music? Okay, maaaybe. Government filings? That’s just a dumb. At least claim people are using your product for something useful. Like, say, consumer price protection.
If the filesharing services DO end up getting sued, it’s going to be interesting to see how the RIAA/MPAA judge their losses. Although popular services such as the iTunes Music Store set a precident for the value of individual songs, just because someone downloads a song or movie off a filesharing service, doesn’t mean they’d actually be interested in purchasing it.
