JasonRants! BuyDomains, creator, domain, market, Palavista, price, spam
As some of you know, I was the creator of Palavista.com (v1, v6 thank you Archive.org) the very first digital music meta crawler on the internet. Yes, before napster. Well after I sold it to change music, they did nothing with it. And I do mean absolutely nothing. Depressing really.
Eventually the domain fell into ruin and actually became a porn site for a while.. heh After which it was picked up by BuyDomains.com a domain squatter – the bane of the internet (Sorry guys, I think very little of your business model). They were offering to sell the domain at a “reasonable rate”. So seven years later, on a whim and completely for nostalgic reasons since the market is dead, I sent off an email asking how much they wanted for the domain.

JasonRants! bullshit, lawsuit, money, radio, RIAA, satellite, Sirius, XM
So.. yet again the RIAA has decided to sue someone.. I know, shocking.. The RIAA, is suing XM for offering a device that allows people to record songs off the XM satellite service. Recording songs off the radio for home use is 100% legal. However, because those boondogglers had convinced Sirius to pay a bunch of extra money in the form of a licensing fee, they now want XM to pay as well. This is yet another example of how the RIAA are a bunch of greedy shits.

JasonRants! accident, asshole, icy, rage, redneck, road
I’m driving down a road near my house doing about 62/63 in a 65. It’s wet. It’s cold out (35ish) and there is visible ice on the sides of the road from the previous nights freeze. The main part of the road was clearish, but I was still going too fast for conditions.
Some redneck jackass gets in behind me and is flashing his lights while tailgating.. Clearly I’m not going fast enough for him.

JasonRants! bullshit, customer, price, problem, product, store
I’m now officially to the point where I hate Fry’s – more over, I’m completely baffled as to how they stay in business. Every time I buy something there, it’s defective and usually has been opened and returned before. If someone returns a product for being broken, why do they insist on putting it back out on the floor?! Does boxing it up some how make it magically work? – It’s over Fry’s. I officially will no longer shop at your stores.
I’d rather have higher prices on products that actually work, rather than deal with your shit..

2007 America sees doom and gloom
2007 America Optimistic
That’s right boys and girls. It’s the same story, told two different ways..

JasonRants! faith
Everytime I am questioned about “God” (and it happens more than you probably realize), I explain my point of view and am just about always barraged with “Faith” this, and “Faith” that.
“Faith is a device of self delusion, a slight of hands done with words and emotions founded on any irrational notion that can be dreamed up. Faith is the attempt to coerce truth to surrender to whim. In simple terms, it is trying to breathe life into a lie by trying to outshine reality with the beauty of wishes. Faith is the refuge of fools, the ignorant and the deluded, not of thinking, rational men.” — Terry Goodkind
