Just testing out the sharing options on soundcloud.com. I just uploaded the ’09 and ’10 RPM music. Maybe tomorrow I’ll add ’11.

Share a single song? Let’s try:
The First Day by Robertjames1971

How about sharing a playlist. Soundcloud calls them “sets.” How very Flickr of them:
60 Cycle Hum by Robertjames1971

In fairness, let’s share the other set too.
Better Late Than Never by Robertjames1971

This is a public service announcement to all construction workers.

When you are setting up detours please make sure that the roads you divert traffic onto are not closed due to the same construction work you are detouring the traffic around.

If you set up alternate routes correctly, people trying to get to work will be successful in their commuting quest. If you do not set up the alternate routes correctly you are a dumb ass.

Especially when you end up diverting traffic that is already late and trying to divert itself around the gridlocked route 93.

Thank you,
One commuter who thinks one specific crew is made up of a bunch of dumb asses.

I just joined yet another music hosting site. You kids might be getting wapped with even more of my crappy music.

Stay tuned.

Or better yet, duck and cover.

I haven’t looked into this in a while. I’m curious to know which browsers are supporting the HTML audio tag at this point.

Here is an audio tag:

Your browser does not support the audio element.

Okay, what happens if you use more than one source tag? Will it create a playlist type of thingie?

Your browser does not support the audio element.

Please pardon me for using terrible music from my alonetone account. I’m very sorry.

ADDENDUM
Firefox does not support the audio tag. There are two boxes rendered where the audio players should be, but they both contain a big ugly X.

Chrome does support the audio tag. Adding two source tags does not appear to create a playlist.

Safari loaded an audio player, but it does not appear to be able to play the file.

Internet Explorer doesn’t do anything. At least Firefox let me know something was supposed to be there, even if it was just with an error. Not IE. IE is just blank.

Opera, like Safari, rendered the audio player, but did not load the audio file.

What does this mean? It means everything is the same as the last time I went through this exercise. It probably also means I don’t have the latest versions of each browser on this machine. I’ll take some updates and try again.

Here are three things that are annoying this crotchety fat red head, in order from least annoying to most annoying.

1: Tim Wakefield. Not so much Tim as a person, but as a concept. When last I checked the score, the Red Sox had a decent lead over the Royals in the sixth inning. That is good, because Tim needs to get that damned 200th win already. I mean, how many shots has he had at it so far? 92? Come on, Sox. Win a damn game for the guy.

2: Google Music. Specifically, the much rumored Google Music iPhone app. More specifically, where the hell is it? The web interface sucks out loud on iOS devices. Get on with it, Google. Do you want me to use the damn service or not?

3: The Brat Pack. Specifically, in Stephen King’s TV mini series version of The Stand. When it originally aired people ripped Molly Ringwald (sp?) a new one while saying that Rob Lowe was okay. I disagreed. I thought Molly was totally wrong for her part but wasn’t so bad in it. Rob, I thought, was all right, but far from a bright spot.

Last night, while unable to sleep, I brought it up on Netflix. When I got to Molly’s first scene I almost vomited. She was AWFUL! What the hell was I watching the last time? Then Rob Lowe came on and I just shut it off. Really guys. How could that even happen?

Damn!

I just implemented a database design.

Who’s bad?

Notes to self on a topic no one but me will ever care about.

While listening to an audiobook of Stephen King’s The Stand (the original, abridged version), I have heard passing mention of a bunch of locations that I have been to. Portsmouth, NH. Portland, ME. Ect.

There have also been mentions of specific settings that I have actually visited. Two are places millions of people know: Times Square and Central Park in New York.

So far two others have grabbed my ears. Quechee, VT (did I spell that correctly?), and the public beach in Welles, ME.

I’m on the look out for others, although the story is moving Westward now so that will probably be it.

It’s kinda fun having the most successful novelist in the known (and probably unknown, too) universe being a fellow New Englander.

Not that this has any meaning or importance to anyone in said universes, save for this retarded redhead.

Nothing to say today.

Wanna know what sucks?

I’ll tell you what sucks.

Nothing’s going on.

That’s right, nothing’s going on right now. I’ve grown so accustomed to having a big event on the horizon, that now that that particular horizon is behind us there is nothing in the near future to focus on in an, I-Can’t-Wait-For-That-Thing-To-Happen kinda way.

The San Diego trip was such a huge deal but now that it’s past? Eh… nuttin.

I mean we have Labor Day coming in a few weeks. That’s a big deal. The kids are about to start school, grades five and three, and that’s a huge deal. We still have a week and a half left of August, and we’re going to a Lowell Spinners game on the next kid weekend. Those are positives.

But at the same time, there is no huge mega event in the near future. I guess the closest we have is the holidays. Jen is going on a business trip soon and that is going to suck. Unlike the last business trip she went on, I won’t be able to hitchhike along. We are going to be apart, and that is the lowest form of low.

This coming weekend there is nothing happening at all. Nothing planned, nothing hinted at, just empty free time at home.

Wait a second… that’s a good thing. We’ve been running around so crazy that a couple of slow days in the house really sound great!

WOOHOO!! Bring on 5:30, the weekend is almost here!
