Los Dinos Knows-Throwing Good cars after Good? teamate blog comment

A classmate's blog has recently mentioned Yahoo's Green Challenge. Yahoo hopes to increase ecological awarness by noting the greenest city in the country. The winning city in turn will receive 10 hybrid cars to decrease CO2 emissions. Although the publicity could make an impact, don't you think the worst city in the country should get the hybrids?

Somehow i think L.A. may need the help

------------------------ although maybe more cars isn't the answer.

Adsense

i forgot to mention the ease of adding Adsense a few days ago. After completing the process prompted through the Google Search page, i noticed through a team members experience that blogger has an Adsense option as part of its layout feature. I accessed Adsense through both and now have an alternating Adsense content Ad and a search bar Ad. This was a little unexpected but i like the variation it presents.

Jim Macpherson, Dave Tough and Vito Bratta wiki edits

I focused on the project changes in both musicians' careers. Tough's mostly being overseas, as Macpherson remains intermittent as a floating featured drummer. Additional background information and interesting facts were noted towards the botttom of each wiki.
see them both here

Also i have noticed i received a tab to join my Vito Bratta page to a

Wikipedia Guitarist project. From this i tried to reorganize the format and wiki classification of its presentation.

Recently the redesign of the page has seemed to alter the usernames of the all the contributors- obscuring the record of my additions. Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

Flickr's call to arms

Recently and related to our class discussions concerning YouTube/Google, rights laws and corporate responsibility, Flickr has been prompted by industry professionals to combat the reproduction and sale of copycat trademarked art through on-line retailers. Flickr has yet to repsond with an official reaction. I would predict more and more content consumers and producers may look to internet networks like myspace, or YouLoot to help police content/copyright improprieties.

Wiki_additions to Vito Bratta-Jim Macpherson

I have added some additional background on JimM. as well as some equipment preferences of the legendary Vito. If anyone is interested in Vito's 20 year absence from the music scene, a candid interview was conducted by Eddie Trunk on Feb. 16, which sheds light on his disappearance, the rumors, the myths and the surprsing facts of where the talent went and why.

both wikipedia articles can be found at

also the Bratta interview can be found exclusively at Eddie Trunk's radio webpage.

!!!-the peasants revolt-National No Gas Day-

i have been receiving a lot of e-mails about a national gas boycott on the 15th of May. I was wondering if anyone else has gotten hip to the latest digitized uprising of the masses? -and if they think one day of bicycle littered streets and tumbleweeds blowing through the Wawa pumps will actually make an impact?

if it does make the news, or a difference it will be amazing to think what else you could organize through mass emailing.

graduation for all i say - we're taking the Tub

WIN DVD responds to AACS HD code break

During class, the implications of open source and copyright law have been talk about. Although breaking codes and publicly displaying them isn't really open source, the AACS HD access code has already reached millions. The recent development has allowed HD and Blu-ray format video to be posted without fee on the internet. Microsoft has responded with a mandatory update(nullifying the key's ablilty) for its Windows video viewers. Not complying with the update will negatively effect future use of windows players.
