Ted.com is a really interesting video site, full of inspiring video clips. It’s like a youtube for a more mature audience, or someone without short attention span. (SMS me right away if you see anyone like that.)

Since childhood, I liked reading biography the most because of most people worthy of having their own biography would have really interesting and inspiring lives. I also like reading stories, and what more interesting than a very inspiring real life story?

According to a research funded by Industry Canada, P2P downloaders buy more CDs.

There are two comments about the research I really like.

Why does it have to be that downloading INCREASES music sales, and not just:

People who download music LIKE MUSIC, and therefore are prone to buy more in general regardless of torrents.

Why does downloading and buying have to be directly linked in the behaviours of my mind, they are cousins (similar trends) and not twins (where one only gains if the other looses).

and

These statistics do not apply to me. Ever since I began file sharing, I have stopped buying cds. I support the artists by going to concerts and buying merchandise.

Besides, most of the artists I listen to are dead. If I bought their CD, I wouldn’t be supporting the artist. My money would go strait to the record executives, and I see no point in doing that.

I’ve been back for about two months. Thai TV sucks. Radio has nothing interesting to me. Until now…
I have to get up a lot earlier than I used to just to tune in to 99.5 and listen to P’ Sun, then Piano of The Radio. Like Simon Cowel would have said, “It is like a breath of fresh air” to the Thai radio waves. Thanks to a friend who literally force me to listen to the channel. Yes,…I’m hooked now.

It’s been more than an hour and I’m still watching a series of videos from this amazing kid from France, Mattrach. The song is Wishful Thinking by John Petrucci. Matt’s version is quite impressive for a 15 years old, though. At least it keeps me up till 5 AM, dammit!

I’ve shopped around for a tiny bluetooth headset for my cellphone lately since I got this new cool phone from Samsung. However, I don’t like the idea of having people watching me talk to myself like a crazy person because nobody can see the tiny teeny in the ear headset.

Now, I got a solution!  People won’t be looking at me thinking, “What a nutcase” anymore. mwahaha… My quest for the perfect bluetooth headset is over.

let me introduce my new cool gatget.    TADA!
