Another Way to Spend My Money, Thanks!

Founders’ Day was a sack-full of fun this weekend. The Chapter seems to be very strong and full of life right now. Everyone seems to be close together and very supportive of one another. It was great to see Duffy, Davis, Russell, Dahl, Goose, and Danny, who were all loads of fun. The Easter Egg Hunt actually turned out very cute, and I think that with any more advertising it would have been a disaster. The frat should definitely do that next year.

Slashdot is reporting that Apple has sent out press invitations to an event on 4/28 that “will bring music to your ears.” This seems like it will be the rumored unveiling of a new music service and updated iPods. I relish the idea of a subscription-based, Apple-run music downloading service being available soon. There are lots of songs that I’d like to have but would never buy the CD for. I don’t think I’m totally against illegal music downloading these days, but I might like the service if I could do it legit for a reasonable price (or, April 28 being my birthday…). Travis and I were talking in the car on the way to Williamsburg this weekend about how stupid the music industry has been about whole mp3 problem. If they would just embrace the internet’s ability to get stuf out there and figure out a way to make that work for them they’d be doing well instead of just complaining all the time.
