Google Music Canadian Blues
by Citizen Bane on Oct.29, 2009, under Web 2.0
I am ever so pissed that Google didn’t roll out the Google Music service in Canada. This is probably more cross border rights bull shit that works against everything that the Internet stands for. The same kind of crap is what’s keeping Hulu.com in the US alone. I’m a little irrational right now because I really hate this kind of crap. Ya sure it’ll eventually make its way up here, this however does nothing for me right now! I insist on being able to punch “More Than Words” into Google search and instantly be served shitty power ballads… The Bastards…

Messing with Bees

I found this little gem on Whiskey Dick. It’s so “Bane” that I simply couldn’t resist re-posting it here. I might try this next summer.
If anyone knows the true originator, please leave a comment. I want more from this guy or gal. Awesome…
Getting Started with Google Wave
by Citizen Bane on Oct.22, 2009, under Web 2.0
When I first got my Google Wave invite and fired the beast up I must say I really didn’t know where to begin. After watching the very long video about the product at it’s introduction I had a taste for what it was about but using it was a different story. The basics are pretty, well, basic… However if you want to tap into the true power of this ground breaking app you really needed to do some digging around of the net.
I found a great article by Ben Parr on Mashable about getting started with Wave. Check it out here: http://mashable.com/2009/10/01/google-wave-get-started/
Sat-TV Hacking 2009

Holy shit! I remember when the extent of media service hacking was using a toy whistle from a box of Captain Crunch cereal to get free long distance! This is crazy!
I’m looking on eBay for one of those microscopes right now…
Crap… I steped in blog…
by Citizen Bane on Oct.20, 2009, under Mush
Welcome. I’m going to keep this short and sweet. First posts are a bitch, so I’ll start with this: I created this blog as way for me to voice opinions, thoughts and interests. Same as almost every other personal blog out there. I don’t have any particular goal or master plan. Frankly, I consider it more of an experiment than anything else. The idea of creating an online record like what I am embarking on fascinates me. I’m in it for the fabulous wealth, status and notoriety that all bloggers appreciate…
Maybe I can put a smile on your face and a spark in your mind. Hopefully you get something out of this. In writing it, I’m sure I will.
