Mars needs music
It's taking quite a bit of my willpower not to start spending money on iTunes. "It's only .99 cents!" my ego argues, "That's nothing!"
"But," says my brain, "It adds up quickly. I'm pretty sure you could live without Bowling for Soup's 1985 on your iPod."
"But I want it," whines the ego. "And I want other songs too. I'm bored of our CDs. I want new songs. I want Coldplay. I want to hear songs that were written in this century, for heaven's sake. And don't tell me we have Sting. He doesn't count."
"We can't afford to start buying stuff like that." says Brain, sensibly. "We'll lose track and before we know it, we'll have spent $20 on songs that we don't really need; money we don't really have."
Ego pouts, temporarily stymied. But browses iTunes anyway.
Charlie slept for 12 hours. That's pretty unusual for him. I think he was still a bit under the weather yesterday. At 8:30 last night he told me he wanted to go to bed. He's chipper now, though, bright as a penny. So that's good.
By the way, my brother in law lent me three books at Christmas, and I highly recommend them. They are Bubbles Unbound, Bubbles in Trouble, and Bubbles Ablaze Mystery stories along the same vein of the Stephanie Plum books, and as addictive as potato chips. I spent some of a gift card to get the fourth book, after reading the first three in as many days. I highly recommend them to anyone who enjoys a good mystery mixed with humor and great characters.
Must go start the day now.

MP3's Hits Dot Com (http://www.mp3shits.com). It has a huge archive of free downloadable mp3s. You'll find about a third of them end up being broken links, and it helps if you have a good virus blocker so you don't get the odd spyware implanted in your 'puter, but there are a lot of jewels among the bunch. Easily half of my current playlist came from that site.

Personally, I found iTunes very much lacking - but I suppose that store isn't aimed at people like me.

The problem with yousendit is that it only allows for the file to be downloaded 10-15 times, whereas rapidshare is unlimited number of downloads. In fact, they will keep it on their servers if you get at least one download for a month, I think.
There is the 20(?)Mb/hour cap, however.
But the truth is, that if you want to send a big file to one person your best bet is trough IRC or IMs, imo, as it will will be much faster.
It all depends on what you need, I guess.

And btw, about a lifetime ago I sent you a CD... did you check the mp3s there?

I have 1000Gb in my mp3 player and that's so little. I have around 20Gb of music files
