Something works, something doesn’t . . .
Sometime last week, I got my copy of “Composing Digital Music For Dummies” in the mail - I’ve just had the briefest time to flip through it, but it looks remarkably like it did when I knew it as conglomeration of pixels. And that’s pretty good.
I’m also going to get to test the “lifetime warranty” of one of my cables. I’d gotten used to throwing these things out, but none of my previous cables ever made me any promises. It was a strictly at-will affair. This cable, though - this one will be held to its word.
This might be the perfect lead-in for a treatise on disposable culture, but I’m actually seeing some companies stand behind their products with a minimum of effort on the customers’ part, and I like it. This process will then serve to reinforce my current glad feelings or tip the scales in the direction of vast corporate misconduct. All this rides on a little cord.

I had a bad technology day on Monday. The LCD screen on my cell phone and my 6 year old DVD player both broke. (Cheaper to get a new ones than to fix the broken ones.) I never realized that a DVD player was a necessity until I had a 2 year old. And apparently my DVD player was part of a class action lawsuit against Sony, but I missed the deadline to file a claim by 5 months! DOH!
