If anybody out there happens to be in the vicinity of Cedar City, Utah...

Aloha!

Just about to head out the door to Groovefest, Cedar City, Utah's, most happening musical event of the summer!

Check out www.groovacious.com.

Free live music in a relaxed small city park, with some bands that are quite good.

Lots of live acoustic and what I like to call "American Traditional" acts.

Can't say enough nice things about the fest and about that store that's sponsoring it.

The Ideal Placement

Kelli's never been too happy with my orange Ikea couch. After all, she has her opinions on what a couch should be. First and foremost, obviously, a couch should be comfortable. Aiding in the comfort of a couch, Kelli tells me, are things like arms and backrests and cushions made of soft fabric. All of these things work together to provide a soothing place for resting one's head and supporting one's legs after a long, tiring day in the office. My couch, however, lacks these things. To a certain degree, I'm proud of my couch for maintaining its individuality — its unwillingness to conform to society's standards of what a couch should offer and be. My couch is a rebel.

Uh Oh!

Uh Oh!

How long do CD-Rs last? Not long, says IBM's Kurt Gerecke. Two years on average&mdash;five, if you keep it in a cool dark place. <I>Phew</I> that's where I keep mine . . . wait a minute, I just remembered I don't.

"More common than you'd think," says <I>National Geographic</I>. Makes sense&mdash;they can run 60mph over broken ground and, if Huckleberry is anything to judge by, a cat in full jetpack mode pays scant heed to obstructions&mdash;even walls.

<I>Digital Music For the Future</I> says so, asking, "is the record industry ready to face the music?" Interesting essay&mdash;and one that says , "the record industry is stuck in a time warp, always several years behind. That would mean 2006 is the new 1999. The Internet boom and music sales have reached their climax, anything is possible, and the digital entertainment world was ready for something to pop."
