Pink Floyd gives the finger to digital downloads

I was listening to Pink Floyd through Pandora today and thought it was time to finally start investing in their music. It’s a band I have always enjoyed and now is as good of a time as any. In an attempt to purchase through Amazon, the only option I now have available is to buy the CD. This is not what I wanted. Now I won’t buy it, the moment has passed. I don’t want to wait 5-7 days for a CD to ship to me and then rip it off to then put on my mp3 player. Sorry Pink Floyd, maybe I’ll pick your stuff up if I see it used at the local music store but not any time soon.

EDIT:

As of 2:52pm today Pink Floyd The Wall is still visible in the iTunes store, whether it’s downloadable or not I don’t know. I was only looking to pull it up through Amazon.

Open Spot from Google attempts to ease parking issues

I’m using a new Android application called Open Spot that helps you find and share open parking spots you see on the street. The more people that use it, the better it gets, so tell all your friends.

You can check it out here:   http://openspot.googlelabs.com.

You can download it at: http://openspot.googlelabs.com/download.html.

When Drivers Think They Own The Road

Just remember fellow bicyclists:

When the driver of a vehicle thinks they own the road and wish to be assholes about it towards you, if you choose to confront them when they get stuck at the next red light, don’t be aggressive or mean. A lot of drivers believe that cyclists are supposed to ride on the sidewalks, not realizing that this is illegal. Even though their ignorance is not justified, they still have a much larger vehicle then we do and it would be hard to sue someone and enjoy it if you are dead.

I think it is about time the city and/or the state run some ads informing drivers that motorcyclists are not the only people that are required to be on the roads.

WJZ Channel 13 news, all news, all illegally parked

Thanks channel 13 news for parking your van in one of the worst spots in the trolley lanes, illegally. You created a beautiful blind corner which could have caused a serious bike accident that close to Pratt st.

On the bright side, if a biker got creamed because of your blatant disregard for the law, you’d be the first on the scene to report on it.

RIP Meridian 54

Meridian 54 is dead. They posted new signs tonight that it’s under management. It’s gone the same route as Red Fish, belly up. It’s probably just as well, they service was horrible and the food was mediocre.  They only have location going for them. If they want to benefit from their location they’ll need to make sure they offer something unique instead of $15 kobe beef sliders that are were the size of silver dollars. Kobe beef or not, that’s not something you offer in a location like that. I’ve written about how bad their service has been.
