The Future now of music

A good buddy of mine, Paul Betts had a posting that music no longer should be tied to us, ergo Voyager sans bagage. Autotranslated into english english.. we don't need to carry 8,16,30,100 gigs of music on us. We just need to be able to grab what we need when we need it.

The NOW of music is that we have an interesting web app called Anywhere.FM . You essentially upload all of your music that you are currently toting around with you, and fragmentally residing on all of your computers and consolidate it beautifully through a more or less fantastic interface. Your music plays through the player, and you would no longer need to touch your mp3 files again.

The FUTURE of music...
We however do not have our uMachine; our uBiquitous, uNiversal Machine. When you go for a drive in your car, we don't (I don't) have an internet connection feeding websites to my radio. So if we could get this wonderful (perhaps existing as an iPhone) internet-fed poly-purpose {not just multimedia} device that we can dock into our car's headunit, we then pass the modern test of making progress with our lives, our music, our overall doing something more.. which is a greater act than just doing some more.

Preparations for Summer Internship: Get Productive

While I won't call myself a slacker, I will say that I haven't been working out three times a week, reading the newspaper, eating breakfast, doing laundry, calling home, reading books, or looking at stars. So in an attempt to save myself from dying a life where I'm not recognized as being a major influence in my field, or where my grandkids are playing their playstation 7's instead of listening to my stories of life, the universe, everything, I shall make some tweaks. I mean its very hard to say that you haven't had enough time to finish your assignment, when you've been at the lab for 6 hours, but instead of quality time spent duktigly debugging a lab, or reading the next chapter, you instead read the internet, almost all of it.

Goals:
1) Read an hour a day. This goes outside of currently assigned reading. I'm thinking those Safari technology books that we as students have full access to.

2) Have the discipline to finish everything I set my mind on.

Once all other goals have been met...
3) Create massive amounts of websites so that the internet is that much better.

Summer Internship starts in less than a month, and I feel like I want forever to get ready.
