Ah, summer vacation. It's a time to relax, enjoy the weather, and most importantly, read.
I spent a week on the beach this summer. Yes, fun, but with my knee condition, swimming was out of the question. Most of my trip was spent either in a chair on the beach, or in a chair on our balcony. This gave me tons of time to read.

I found some cool free MP3's of the Vampire Sex Kittens. Have you found any cool free MP3's? The online music world is changing. I'll be posting more cool free MP3's when I find them...

Previously we talked about Digital Rights Management (see Spiral Frog). DRM is the cyber-leash whereby a song can disintegrate after it has been on one computer and two portable devices. In addition, it allows the company to track how many times a song has been played. The word is that Amazon may soon be offering DRM-free MP3’s songs. Given the size of Amazon, this could be some significant competition for iTunes.

My daughter is quite a character. I never quite know what's going on in her mind, even when she tells me.

In the car the other day, she was talking about what my son wanted to be for Halloween. See, I'm a bad mommy and I KNOWINGLY got them the wrong costumes this year. My son wanted to be Dracula, but he's going as Batman because Batman cost $20 and a cape cost $30, with the suit extra. She wanted to be a unicorn, but she can't squeeze into those really furry costumes that people make babies wear, so she had to be a princess. And it was a REALLY nice costume!! What kind of girl fusses about being a princess? Apparently mine does, despite pretending to be a princess 90% of the time.
