The network was down (still currently down since 3AM). Good thing I went back for my Mophie this morning. Took the opportunity to play around with Adobe Ideas. Pretty good huh.

CTE, the concussion crisis, and an economic look at the end of football – Grantland: “Heck, just getting rid of fantasy football probably saves American companies hundreds of millions of dollars annually.”

My fist Facebook condo in over a year:

Hey! Aren’t you into the audio books? I was thinking about trying one and wondered if you had any tips or how you buy them or where or anything? Let me know. Thanks!

Yes, very much so. I have quite a solid existing library that I could share with you. All are stolen, excuse me shared. I could share them with you where the only ones that will know are you & I and whatever god you pray to.

Sorry, that is my standard response because I don’t steal digital media anymore, the risk is to great. I can still provide you with download links to book that I already have where the provisos statement applies.

I really like to use audible.com (they are owned by Amazon). You can sign up for a FREE member ship and get 1 credit for a book as long as you input your credit card. Again read (owned by Amazon). Not a scam it is the site to go to if you want to buy audiobooks. Now most books will cost around $25 depends on the length, or some other shit that I don’t pretend to understand. Signing up for Audible is still good. They do offer deals to members. Some deals are $5 per book which I feel is a very fair price. Vs. of course the usual price of The Passage with is like $50. I think I pay them $10 per year to hold my account and get the deals & such after the original FREE book. I am a cheap bastard and this still seems like a good deal to me (3 years running).

Better deal, FREE! Since I don’t use the internet to steal anymore. I reserve audiobooks at my library, then pick them up when they are available. Take them home and use iTunes to RIP the CDs (latest one The Passage was 29 disks for 36 hours of audio) and put them on my iPhone/Pod/whatever device. You can’t really make audiobooks work if you keep them on 29 CDs that’s just crazy. The library also offers FREE audiobook downloads, but you are only allowed to play them on your computer and that is dildos (dildos is bad in my speak). If you get the CDs you can RIP them yourself pretty quickly using iTunes pretty quickly and then share them with people you know. Did I mention The Passage? It is apparently vampire apocalypse stuff(1) and now that I have RIPed it I could easily share it with you. You can’t do that with audible purchases or the aforementioned LAME only on computer library option.

Ok clearly a lot of info. Send me an email & I will send you some download links for the stuff I have been sharing with Mom. If you wanna get specific the Lib or Audible is the way to go. We have a lot of good stuff Mom & Kid liked:

Game of Thrones
Girl w/ Dragon Tattoo series (not kid obviously)
Hungar Games
Neil Gaiman (man is a fucking treasure)
Odd Thomas (Dean Koontz Series)

Good enough? If you want Kindle books I only have 2,000 that you don’t actually need a Kindle to read.

I hate Facebook this is not public or anything right? I never know, email is better for me.

*1. I might be wrong about that Vampier shit? I have been SUPER busy and still have about 20 hours left in A Dance With Dragons. That is the book I am going to listen to next, but when I am busy and concentrating on other shit I can’t concentrate on the books I am listening to.

iPhone app: this is all kinds of awesome, thinking it’s worth $2.

The title of this post is lazy. Those should be the “tags” and not the title of the post.

This gif made me lose a lot of time, I just couldn’t stop staring at it.
