Big things afoot, Cowards Running IMAX
So: I know there are only a handful of people out there reading this. I hope this will change. Soon. There are a number o' things that I am working on with the site. for one thing - I have decided to abandon CD manufacture, and go directly to mp3 downloads. Yes: you will still be able to order CDs. But I will be implementing an mp3 download system that will make CD procurement redundant, as I am sure you can burn a CDR just as easily as I can, and you could save several dollars a CD in doing so.
But - that's a big step and I'll be working on that next month.
This month, I was supposed to be playing a show on the 29th. I got moved to the 27th and the 26th or something like that. I'm somewhat irritated by this. I like firm dates with a purpose.
On other news:
The Xian right has decided to pressure IMAX to not show movies that mention Evolution. And IMAX caved. Fucking idiots - the lot of them. The Xian fundie retards are idiots for not getting with the program and concluding along wit hthe rest of the rational thinking world that evolution is a fact backed up by theory. And IMAX are a bunch of fucking idiots for caving in to the absurd notions of these ignorant right wing freaks.
The only way to stand up to an ignorant bully is to GET OFF YOUR ASS AND STAND UP TO AN IGNORANT BULLY.
Now, I've heard people say "they don't believe in evolution" because "their faith tells them otherwise".
I'm fine with that, because Evolution is a matter of Science and Knowledge, not a matter of Faith or Belief. Therefore, Evolution is open to scrutiny and revision - the ideas in Evolution will change when presented with evidence. Therefore, one doesn't have to "believe" in evolution. One merely accepts it as the contemporary understanding of the behaviour of genetic structures over time as they adapt to the environments in which they find themselves. Presently we have an abstraction called "Natural Selection" which shows how that works. So far, Natural Selection is right on the money, and has been proven in laboratories the world over as the only credible engine for evolution.
In this way, one can choose to "not Believe" in Evolution, and accept the notions of Natural Selection, speciation, etc. as Scientific fact and operant processes in the Terran Genetic Enterprise System we call "life". Or, in addition, one may also choose to "Believe" in Evolution, even though Belief is something completely superfluous to understanding and accepting Evolution. This may seem sophisticated in a sophistic sense, but it's actually not at all - it's really just a method of being clear about things.
As I said - we're dealing with idiots here: the agressive Bible Thumping fear driven bullies in the Xian Right, and the cowardly Money Counting fear driven cowards at the helm of IMAX. Neither of them understand what they are doing, or even the terms of their own discussion.
And people wonder why I despair of the human race.

Don't know if you ran across Our Media or not. It's a front end for archive.org and may be worth looking into as a place to put MP3s and other large files, at least the public ones.
It's still a bit wiggy and barely survived a hit from Slashdot, but the archive.org side of things is offering unlimited storage space free with Creative Commons copyrights.
