It seemed like a good idea to someone I would assume, but it really, really wasn’t.

I love The Simpsons, I have been buying all the season sets, and today I got my copy of Season 6. ARGH!

It’s larger than other sets

It’s flimsy and cheap plastic

The insides are not fixed in place, so that when you open it the contents want to fall out

Honestly, the novelty of it wears off after about 3 seconds and it just becomes annoying

You can go here to order a replacement box for $2.95 shipping that will be more normal, but what a freaking hassle! Just give us the “normal” box to begin with!

On the side notes though….why do our news outlets get so focused on one story? There are other stories going on in the world folks. How about we discuss the insane prices oil is reaching due to us losing 6,000 barrels a day production capacity? I mean, come on folks, let’s have some coverage, but non-stop, wall-to-wall coverage on channels such as MSNBC is just insane. There is a world out there folks, why don’t we try learning about it?

We were discussing a little known film fact today at work. (We tend to get into odd discussions) My two coworkers were unaware of the tale of a director named “Alan Smithee“.

Many years ago, the Director’s Guild of America decreed that a director could not take their name off a film except for a case where the film was taken out of their hands and heavily changed against their will. They could then apply to the DGA for a “Smithee”. Their name would be removed from the film and be credited to a non-existant director named Alan Smithee.

Mr. Smithee has had a prolific career over the years, and the trick worked well until in 1997 when a film was released entitled An Alan Smithee Film: Burn, Hollywood, Burn. Due to the publicity surrounding the film, the DGA has decided to stop using the name and they will use more random names from now on. Though it is no longer in official use, it is still popping up from time to time.

One of the most interesting examples is the changing credits on the 1984 version of David Lynch’s Dune. The theatrical version is credited to Mr. Lynch, but the extended televised version that is shown, is credited as being directed by the infamous Mr. Smithee. This version of Dune, which is longer than the theatrical version, is now referred to at “The Smithee Edit”.

You can find a “biography” for Mr. Smithee here, and yes, he even has a Wikipedia entry which you can find here.

Hurricane Katrina has reached category 5 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. To reach this level, the storm must have sustained winds in excess of 150 mph and surges of over 19 feet. Katrina is running at 178 mph right now and surging as high as 25 feet. She is also gusting to 202 mph.

What does all this mean? This is going to be catastophic folks. The category 5 winds are stretching out over a 250 mile diameter around the eye. The whole system is over 460 miles across. I am not kidding boys and girls, if you are anywhere in the path of this thing, run, run NOW!

And why did I also label this story as “journalism”? Is it just me, or do the news channels almost seem to enjoy these stories? “Hey…which reporter are we pissed at? Send them down to the storm!”

It seems the music companies are unhappy with the $.99 Apple is charging through their iTunes music store. This has been rumored for awhile, but now it is looking like there may be a showdown coming up. The music companies want the price raised, but seeing as they currently get a rumored $.70 for the $.99 price, this is just pure greed as always.

I chose a recent album to use as my example, let’s take a look at Six Feet Under, Vol. 2: Everything Ends. amazon.com has it listed for $13.49, TowerRecords.com has it for $13.99 and iTunes has it for $12.99. 13 songs on the album, meaning that the record company takes home about $9.10 of the $12.99 from iTunes.

So the record companies are saying they need more than this? Are they going to try to convince us (the consumers) that they are making less via this method than by producing a physical CD copy? Let’s think for about two seconds folks…bull! No manufacturing cost, no labor cost, no shipping cost, no returns, no unsold inventory…the record companies, as always, are just being greedy. They are making a far higher profit margin on digital downloads than they ever would on physical CDs, and now they want more and more from us.

Have I mentined lately how much I love allofmp3.com?

Yadda yadda Bye Bye Rachel is gone, April is Head Of Household and I am so freakin bored with this season! Here is a great article about how to fix BB7!

Rackin frackin bare-bones DVD releases are really starting to get my goat. I, like the chump I am, bought the Sin City DVD. Imagine my horror when I recieved it and it had none of the special features I heard it would have. This version has no commentary, no deleted scenes (which I know for a fact they do plan on including later on), no gag reel, NOTHING. I am sure a special edition is just waiting down the road now, ready to pounce as soon as all the suckers (i.e. me) are done buying this one. For the record though, I didn’t even open mine and have placed it up for sale on Amazon.com as I refuse to keep this piece of garbage.

Same thing with Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Kill Bill Vol. 2, you just know that Quentin Tarantino at some point is going to pop out a joined together special edition of those two films.

It’s getting to the point where I am nervous about buying any DVD. I am always sure there is a special edition just lurking around the corner that will have something to make me get all excited and force me to buy yet another copy of the film. My coworkers are even laughing at me because I refuse to believe that the The Lord of the Rings - The Motion Picture Trilogy (Special Extended DVD Edition) is the final edition of the films. I just know something is lurking out there, ready to pounce the moment I buy it. “Oh look, we just found another 20 minutes of film for each of the movies!” That would be the cue for me to curl up in the corner and suck my own thumb.

Don’t even get me started on how “complete seasons” of tv shows are now messing around with things. Northern Exposure Season 2, as well as season 3 and seasons 2 and 3 of Quantum Leap, are missing some of their original music because the studios don’t want to pay for the licensing. Mind you, the studios did pay for all the rights on season 1 of each series, so they lured us in with a good release, and then killed us on the future releases.

I don’t buy the Roseanne seasons, but I just heard that the first season release is not the originally aired versions, but instead are the trimmed down syndicated versions. For those who don’t know, between the original airing and the syndication airing, usually about two minutes of footage is cut to make space for more advertising. In Living Color gave us a great first season, but seasons 2 & 3 are missing sketches and the music the Fly Girls danced to was changed.

So what am I getting at here? The studios have realized they have a cash cow in the form of DVD that they never had with VHS. They are also realizing they can sting the early adopters by getting us to buy second versions, or half-assed releases. To them, it doesn’t matter, but as a consumer who is very serious about his DVDs, I am getting to my breaking point.

Google Talk is here…like we don’t all have enough instant messaging programs already. Between Skype, YIM, AIM, MSN and now Google, we are all going to need another 256 megs of RAM just to run all these IM programs!

Google Chat does includ VoIP though, so may be promising. If you would like to test Google with me, leave me a comment and I will send you my info to add me.

I ran a poll over on my LiveJournal a while back because they have free polls. Sorry to the regular blog readers. Anyway, a whopping two people replied…woo.

Mittens83 asked…Top Five Llamas (because, she is slightly insane)

This was a tough one. Did she mean colors? Llama’s in history? Phew…tough call. So where do I go anytime I need to know something? Wikipedia of course. Their entry for Llamas was very enlightening.

5. The Llama in the Disney film “The Emperor’s New Groove”

4. Tina the Llama from Napolean Dynamite

3. White Llamas with brown spots!

2. The Naked Dancing Llama - for all it’s sagely advice

1. The Llamas in “The Llama Song“…warning…it’s highly addictive.

Gradeafan asked…Breakfast foods?

Oh my, such pressure! So many choices!

5. Raisin Bran

4. Grape Nuts

3. Boo Berry

2. Donoughts (Krispy Kreme when I can get them!)

1. Eggs in any shape! Scrambled, over hard, sunny side up, omlettes, hard boiled, eggs benedict…I don’t care…just give me eggs!

I fought it for ages, but I must admit now to being 110% in love with blue 6GB iPod Mini. If I could marry it, I would. Though the librbary in my iTunes is now 25 gigs, and 6100+ songs, I just don’t see the need to go for one of the bigger models and carry my entire music collection around at once. The mini is compact, attractive and just plain fun.

The only drawback I have discovered is the accessories I am needing to pick up on the side for it. Everyone warned me I needed to be aware the body and the screen could easily be scratched, so my first needed item was some sort of protection for it. After looking at several, I settled on the Clear Speck Products iPod Mini ToughSkin. My only complaint when I got it was there were instructions on how you were supposed to get the mini in to it! I finally figured out you went through the hole for the click wheel. Once on, it truly does protect the entire iPod except for the synch hole, earphone jacks and the hold button. The screen gets a hard plastic covering, and the click wheel gets a flip down protective plastic cover. I am thrilled with it.

But then I realized “Hey, playing this in the car would be nice…and if there was a way to charge it in the car also would be nice.” So it was off to find a car adapter and a power charger. I considered the FM transmitter adapters, but I didn’t see too many good things about them. So I opted for a tape deck plug in, and found in all in one kit that also had a power charger. So I picked up the Logic3 Travel Kit for iPods. Extra USB, Firewire and earphones also never hurt.

As for filling up the iPod with music though, that has been a combination of ripping songs from my own CDs, gifts from some friends (*wink*) and that same friend turning me on to the wonders of allofmp3.com. Worth a looksee for sure!

Sure I have spent a bit more money than I first thought I would, but this has reignited my love of music which had been sitting dormant for several years now. Viva La iPod!

As lots of you know, I have been to Japan three times. Everytime has been in August, and the last two times I have stayed at the same hotel. (I just prefer not to say where that is since I plan to stay there again.) You would think being in a city such as Tokyo, I would have a wide selection of night life to partake in, but honestly I am so tired at the end of the day, and not knowing the language, making going out impossible. Instead I have found a very enjoyable way to spend parts of my evening.

Along one side of my hotel there is a tree lined side street. It’s just a small two lane street. Across the way from the hotel is a post office and police station, across the other street is a hospital. So I have discovered it ia fairly quiet street at night. Lining the hotel are raised planters that are perfect to sit on. So late at night I like to go and sit on the planters and just watch Tokyo life pass me by.

The employees entrance is near here, so I watch the employees come and go. I admit, my enermous size compared to the common Japanese person seems to make the female employees nervous, but I always make sure a)to sit in plain sight b)under the lone street light c)in view of the police stations camera and d)as far off the sidewalk I can.

Then you have the many, many bike riders…the police who go to and from the station (and oddly never give me a second look!)…the couples walking back to the residential housing nearby after a night on the town…the late-to-get-home salarymen and office ladies, who obviouslly have had to much to drink.

To me, this is the heart of a society. I do the same sort of things when I am in an American city for the first time. Tourist spots are all well and good, but I prefer to see the everyday life, not the gltizy facade a city puts on for the tourists. Give me the guts, the heart, the common everyday person going about their everyday lives. How else will you ever get to “know” a city or a society?

Sure, this is an odd way to spend your evenings, but it is extremely relaxing and allows me to see a small sliver of everyday life in Tokyo that I enjoy so much.

Something I have pondered for ages, and I know many other people have also, is why our legal drinking age is 21. The Amaerican Medical Association has a history of the Minimum Legal Drinking Age (MLDA) on this page. According to this story, the MLDA was made 21 at the end of prohibition in 1933. Between 1970 and 1975, 29 states lowered their MLDA’s to the range of 18,19 and 20. After pressure from concerned groups, the goverment threatened all states with lower highway funds unless they went back to the age of 21. All the states complied, and during the 1980’s the national drinking age was again raised to 21.

This is all well and good, but let’s take a look at the global picture for a moment. The United States holds the distinction of being the country with the highest MLDA. This page lists some of the various drinking ages around the world. As you can see, the vast majority of the countries rest in the age 18, when you are considered a legal adult in most parts of the world. Even amongst those, there are exceptions when you are having a meal or are with an adult.

It seems silly that drinking is the last of the hurdles into supposed adult hood in this country. Let’s look at some of things you can do at other ages:

15 - Driving with a permit in some states
16 - Driving with a restricted license
18 - Driving with a full license
18 - Enter legally binding contracts
18 - Vote
18 - Join the military
18 - Take out a loan
18 - Get a credit card
18 - Smoke
18 - Get married without parental consent
18 - Buy a rifle or shotgun
21 - Buy a handgun and handgun ammo

So essentially, you can put yourself into debt for life with credit cards, smoke and give yourself cancer, join the military and go fight a war where you can kill or be killed, buy a rifle, drive a 2 ton coffin on wheels or enter into a contract that could change your life…..but don’t you dare think about having a beer while doing any of these things. Getting married, but you are under 21? Sorry, no champagne for you.

Now, my first guess as to why we are setting the bar so late in life would have to do with the amount of cars we have. People are much more prone to drink and drive here than in other countries. The AMA point on this page to a study that says just that:

Regarding Europeans and alcohol use among youth, research confirms that Europeans have rates of alcohol-related diseases (such as cirrhosis of the liver) similar to or higher than those in the U.S. population (Single, 1984). However, drinking and driving among youth may not be as great a problem in Europe as in the U.S. Compared to their American counterparts, European youth must be older to obtain their drivers’ licenses, are less likely to have a car, and are more inclined to use public transportation (Wagenaar, 1993).

Ok, I can see this point (for the record, I do not condone/endorse/or recommend drunk driving…always have a designated driver!), but how about we look into the idea of educating people about alcohol? My feelings are that a lot of people have alcohol problems when they first start drinking because we have no training. The only people who could teach me about drinking were my friends because my folks weren’t drinkers, and lord knows friends are the worst people to turn to for this type of info. No one educated me about what types of booze shouldn’t be combined, that I should always eat before drinking and on and on. My friends were very much of the “it’s booze, drink it!” variety.

In the UK, you are allowed to order liquor as early as age 16 if you are in a resturant with your parents, and you can sit in a bar as early as 14. (thanks for the clarification Rachel!) What a concept! Some of the mystery is removed, you can be taught responsible drinking by example and you can avoid some of the common mistakes young drinkers make.

And that leads me to one of my final reason why, at the very least, some sort of drinking instruction should be given, let’s remove the mystery. I drank far more when I was under 21 than I did after I became legal. It was a mystery, a taboo, a way to defy authority. Once I was legal, I just wasn’t that interested anymore.

There is no perfect solution, but I don’t think 21 is the answer either. For a bigger thrill, there seems to be some evidence that M.A.D.D. (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) would like to see the age raised to 25. Yeah…that makes sense, make even more underage drinkers, and add to the mystery.

And your thoughts are very welcome on this subject. These are strictly my random thoughts on the matter.

(let me just say upfront, I make NO money from this, this is just a testimonial of my love to this service!)

I have professed my undying love of Skype before, but they just keep getting me all excited over and over again. The latest addition is SkypeIn, an honest-to-goodness phone number that will ring through to your computer.

Why should this excite you? Why should you be interested in another phone number in your life? Well, let’s say you move away from home, say you lived in New York City, and you moved to Los Angeles. You can buy a phone number through Skype for NYC, and then your friends and family can call you just like it was a local phone call. Let’s say you moved to another country…big deal…the “local phone call” would still find you no matter where you went. (well, as long as you had a net connection that is)

Did you move to the USA from one of the other countries Skype works with? (United States, United Kingdom, Denmark, Finland, France, Hong Kong, Poland and Sweden) You are allowed to have up to 10 SkypeIn numbers, so why not get one for your home country and the USA?

If you don’t want to be tied down to your computer for phone calls, there are several companies working on cordless Skype phone’s that will work with your computer, Wifi Router and regular phone lines in the works. They have varying release dates, but they should be coming out fairly soon.

So, how much does little wonder cost you? Well, a 12 month subscription is ? 30 (approx $37.31) and 3 months is ? 10 (approx $12.44). WAIT! What if you are away from your computer, or even worse, the computer is turned off when the phone call comes in? The subsciption includes Skype Voicemail for free.

Of course, you can also still just use Skype to talk to other Skype users for free anywhere in the world. I do have one note of disclaimer about SkypeIn though, if you get a NYC phone number, and someone from Miami calls it, they will stay pay long distance charges, so pick your number location wisely….or just get several SkypeIn numbers!

Normally I stay away from hot-button political issues, but one I have been thinking about more and more is school unifroms.

I never thought I would say it, but I am beginning to see the usefulness of the concept. There are no statistical studies that show conclusively that school uniforms improve performance, decrease discipline problems or truly cost you less in the long run, but there is one advantage I can see that can’t be measured…a decrease in peer pressure.

Anyone that has spent anytime in a non-uniform school system can tell you that you are constantly judged by your peers. There is a pressure to live up to the latest fashions and trends, a feeling that you must be in the know with fashion. School uniforms remove that pressure and creates a level playing field. In turn, that decreases pressure, can raise the self-esteem of the students who can’t afford to keep, or care not to.

On the flip side, there are the people who say it kills a student’s individuality, takes away their freedom. My question is, “How?” How is this any different than wearing a uniform to work at a fast food restaurant? Do you get a job at “Jon’s Greasy Burgers” and say “Oh, I’m sorry, I can’t wear this uniform, it kills my free spirit.” Do you think you can get a job at a place in the mall and not follow their dress code? Nope. School is your first job, no matter what anyone says to the contrary. And there are ways to play inside of school uniform rules, creating a unique look without violating the rules.

Let’s even take it inside the school. Sports uniforms? Band uniforms? Cheerleading uniforms? Oh, those are ok, but not any other time. Uh-huh. I know in my time in school that the sports players and the cheerleaders always took great pride in wearing their uniforms on game day, so why should any other type of uniform be different?

The only arguments I have really been able to find always go back to it killing a students sense of self. Folks, why don’t we try the wild concept of improving your inner being, and not being so concerned with your outer appearance? There is also the complaint of cost. Most schools who do have a required uniform also have programs to help lower income families with the cost of the purchases.

There are some studies that show uniforms do actually provide a safer environment. Long Beach, CA tried uniforms for the first time in the 1994 - 1995 school year, and the statistics speak for themselves: (source here with all the raw data) Assault/Battery -34%, Fighting - 51%, Robbery -65%, Chemical Substances -69%, Weapons or look-alikes -52%, Vandalism -18%, Dangerous devices - 50%. Gee, and people say school uniforms have no effect. Yeah. None. Uh-huh.

There is also the fact, why do countries as England and Japan have school uniforms without all the hassle? Why do people not complain about Catholic and private schools? There is a reason schools use uniforms, they do have a positive effect in my opinion. Or should I pull out statistics how badly our schools lag behind other countries? Countries that use uniforms mind you. While it is not the only reason they kick our behinds, it does factor in.

I encourage you to go out and do your own research, form your own opinions. I truly do not expect to change the countries views on this, but you have to at least ponder the pros and cons of it. You can find some of the sources I read here, and they do cover both sides of the debate. School Dress Uniforms:A Review, School Uniforms:Pros & Cons, Some Of The Benefits Of School Uniforms, Uniform-ly mistaken.

And I certainly welcome comments from everyone, pro or con, on the subject. This is an issue that needs debate.

Been on the road all day, still not feeling well, but work is work and when you have to do it, you do it. Anyway, random thoughts from the day:

- Gas is truly insane. First gas stop with the two cars was $119.00

- Napolean Dynamite was the only DVD I got to watch today….I will never regain those 95 minutes of my life.

- iPod tape adapter is finnicky when it wants to work, but when it does, it rocks.

- Watching the faces of my employees as I forced them to listen to Hee Haw Hell on XM Radio was hysterical. “You actually listen to this? And you know the band names?”

I will probably start the pre-written posts tomorrow night, but I had a few minutes tonight.

The trailers are packed, the clothes are ready to go, all that is left is the last minute, nit-picky stuff.

The funniest thing to me? The number of ways things I am throwing in the car to entertain us all! Portable DVD player, iPod (loaded with employee requested 80’s and “Hair Band” songs). I have packed far more DVDs that I could ever watch, even if I wasn’t working. Oh well. I do have four days of car time to kill. And folks, believe me, there is nothing on the face of the planet more mind-numbing than riding in the back of a car, staring at a trailer for days on end.

Like I have said previously, I have pre-written a bunch of enteries, so the one-a-day pace will continue. (Notice I did this one after midnight so today is done…ha!)

According to this story over at Engadget, Google is looking to start a nation wide, ad supported Wifi service. While this is a fascinating, and exciting, idea, I just can’t see how it would ever be a reality.

A)Wifi equipment doesn’t have that large of a range. You would have to have such a massive amount of gear it is mind boggling.

B)By the time they would get done getting the project rolled out, the next standard of Wifi would probably be out. We have already had A, B (11 mbps) and G (54 mbps), N (rumored to be 100 mbps) is due in the not-so-distant future.

C)Honestly, how many people click on Google Adwords that would make this cost effective?

I think this is a wonderful idea, but I just don’t see how it could ever effectively be rolled out. Now, maybe in a few select cities….
