Things I find on the internet, musings, some of my content. Anything goes, really.
I thought it was pretty cool that David Choe did an Obama poster, but I didn’t even notice that he did two of them.

World’s Largest Record Collection is Worth $50 Million; No One Wants it for $3 Million*Sigh* If only…I had $3 Million. But really, If only some giant mega Vinyl library had $3 Million to share this gold with the world. Shoot, or if I had more money so that I could give this guy any money for his health problems.
I hate money.
Why wouldn’t an entity already mentioned, the Library of Congress, not get involved? I can think of worse things they’ve spent money on. Get this collection into well-protected storage and start digitizing it in true lossless format for posterity.
