End of an Error

I’m a free man. I walked out of my workplace for the last time this afternoon. The job that I took essentially out of desperation, three months into a brutal streak of unemployment, is done. Over. No more. The mismanagement, lack of work, poorly thought out assignments, and gopher work? All done. I made it out just short of my one year anniversary, which is still longer than I would have liked.

And so, I gave myself a five day weekend before starting my new job.

About that: it’s a $5 and hour raise. But there is a commute. I’ll be working in the Belly of The Beast. Well, maybe not the belly, but something close to the belly. More like the Pancreas of The Beast, really.

All in all, things are looking up.

Oh man, this is probably the most astute takedown of Sony’s plan to renounce DRM you could possibly read. I mean, you see a headline that reads something like “Last Major Label Holdout Ditches DRM” and think it must be a good thing, right? Then you read their actual plan, and it’s like your forehead is involuntarily drawn towards your desk at an excessive velocity. Thud! Idiots! Is it even physically possible to have a lesser understanding of your market?
