Just finished the audio book version of Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins. While there seems to be some controversy over the amount of truth in the story, if it’s truthful at all, I can say the story was dry. Interesting, but dry. It could be that the subject matter didn’t greatly interest me, but I thought it would. I will have to be different then Leo Laporte who kept talking up the audio book on many podcasts.

Since moving to Diablo on my N810 I can no longer have Canola2 sync the RSS feeds of my podcasts. I was at a loss, I didn’t want to set up another podcatcher and move them over manually. I also didn’t want to install anything else on my n810 to try and do this for me (you Canola2 folks better be happy for my loyalty). So for lack of anything else I decided to start listening to audio books. I used to listen to audio books in my pre-teen age, trying to cram more books into my skull at the same time. The problem is that I didn’t absorb them the same way as I do the written word. I’m still sure I miss a lot listening to the audio book of something versus reading it, but I get enough of it that it is still enjoyable. I decided to start with John Grisham’s The Appeal. The book is pretty much standard John Grisham fare, if you like his criminal law dramas then I would definitely recommend picking up a copy of it. Pick it up in hardcover or paperback or audiobook from Amazon. Original From: Just Finished John Grisham’s The Appeal

It seems that hi5 doesn’t use the same friend finding connections method that other sites do. Because of this I accidently spammed over 700 invites to people that I know personal and professional. I’m not going to send out another e-mail as a retraction. It still is a pain in the ass. Normal social network searches your contacts list and finds people that you know already on the service. This is all fine and dandy. Then when you click ok it then lists your friends not on the service and wants to know if you want to invite them. At this point on all other services I click no. Hi5 however hid what is normally the second page option down at the bottom of the screen and then proceeded to spam everyone on my contacts list. I feel like an idiot - but live and learn.

Tomorrow night (July 17, 2008) at 7:00 pm, the VCMA Community Band will be having a concert in front of Vermilion’s Ritter Public Library Annex. I should have a video up on the site a day or two after, but thought I would publish this out there in case anyone wanted to attend.
