So I'm experimenting with this new philosophy with life: following the white rabbit.
You know the scene from The Matrix that I'm talking about. Neo wakes up at his computer to see the hint "Follow the white rabbit..." on his screen. When he's invited to a party by the people who show up at his door, he rejects the invite then sees a white rabbit tattoo'd on the chick's shoulder, then instantly says, "Sure." I did the exact same thing when Eric offered me Swank� Mavs tickets for this weekend. Then the little white rabbit popped up in my crazy little head, and I said what the hell, swank tickets are worth the price. So I'm finally going to a Mavs game, go me.
The one political cause I care for: Free Joe. A kid at Michigan Tech ran a server that listed who on the resnet was sharing up what. The RIAA sued him for $150,000 per song that he had indexed - basically a collection of Winamp playlists. Multiply that 150k by the 600,000+ files included in the massive list, and Joe is being sued for 97.8 billion dollars. The RIAA has gotten completely out of control. Quit buying CDs. Now. If you feel the need to support someone, send cash to the artists themselves.
And I can't stop watching my collection of Michelle Branch videos. Downloaded, of course.
