One thing that really has me enraged at this moment, and it is not the fact that some forest company has enlisted Bob Renny to sell land they own on the island (probably purchased under a sweetheart deal) for development... Ok that got the old blood boiling too... but it's a win win for everybody right.

I have to come down hard on Mac computers... sure i love Mac if only because PC's are useless pieces of shit for my purposes. But as Mac increases in its dominance of the market share it's products are less likely to serve the artist, and more likely geared to the average hammerhead who wants to shit things together. My first computer and Mac was a G4 tower that still to this day serves me well... this squirrelly I mac i have now is a fine machine sure but i find the options on the programs enraging. i was trying to grab some audio of a digital video camera.. something i do often, but for some reason a glitch occurred where when importing the song (a freshly written song) the video became "split" if that is the term. So to extract the audio i get 2 files that i can't put together to send to the vocalist who is singing the song and i have to spend hours in vain trying to do a simple procedure. I did try to reload the whole dam thing 20 minutes into this fiasco but the same glitch happened. Sure i am no computer genius but when you go through the options... or the toolbar you get all kinds of nonsense options for non creative people... can't i just render the 2 clips as 1 and fucking move on with my day rather than having to turn a 20 minute task into a fucking insane marathon... i now know that if you import the fucker into garage band you can fucking do what you need to do... but if you stay in i movie you are fucking fucked with options of importing photos and text with various fonts and other bullshit "cute" asshole items that you might use if you were to send your retarded cousin a movie for their birthday

Oddly enough my Wife had to go in to work tonight because the tiff files she made for a talk she has to give on cancer research wouldn't transfer from Mac to PC so she is at work at midnight on Friday night trying to sort it out. I find it the model of Humanity to have this technology rendered useless because of the forces of business or money making. I say as i have always said... the economy is a lie... and consumers are morons.
