Cloud Music

Random thoughts on Google and Amazon’s cloud music service.

Google: I like that I can upload a bunch of songs for free, but let me do it from Linux. Updating album art is good. On my computer, playback loses the stream too often. (A few times a song, lame) Upload is slow and painful, even on full speed. Good playlist editor. Android app seems fine.

Amazon: Thanks for allowing me to upload from Linux, but it could still be better. Need to be able to update album art. Uploading speed seems fine. Thanks for letting me store for free albums I bought after your service came out, but let me store ones I already bought for free too please. Playback is fine.

Music while standing…

Its good to listen to music while using standing desks… Keeps the blood flowing. Here is what I listened to this week: Ayria, Emilie Autumn, Sarah Fimm, I:Scintilla, King Crimson and Birthday Massacre. 

Sitting outside having a gin and tonic with Kirsten, reading Dead Souls by Gogol. A perfect way to start the week.

I just lost the game.

Netflix on android… works great on my Evo.

Bubble…

Yes there is another bubble. Yes its purely from the financial markets. Yes it will pop. No, I don’t know when. Yes there is inflation. Also market inflation. Government doesn’t care unless its wage inflation.
