Man, I get a lot of numbers paged to me on my work pager, which is funny cause the only pages I should get on it are from the work computers notifying me of server problems. Yet today alone, I’ve gotten two phone numbers on it. Just a minor annoyance, but there’s that drop in my stomach when I think the Web server is spiked, only to find out some guy doesn’t know how to dial the right number.

Let’s hope officials are wrong:

I’m all about technology for sure, but I don’t think we need a new audio format just yet. Firstly, Super CD or DVD-Audio need to be decided on as the standard and secondly, sure it may be more layered and better than the current audio compact discs, but other than those who are early adpoters of new technology, who’s gonna upgrade their audio hardware in their car and all over their house? I mean, we’ve got like 10-12 CD players in the house, counting the ones in the computers. That’s a lot of music hardware to replace all over.
