up early today, getting ready for a trip to visit our friends in CT. need to pack up.

watched the sixth episode of Game of Thrones last night, very good, continues to deliver great entertainment.

i downloaded Lady Gaga's latest album for $1 on Amazon on Monday, can't beat that, great high quality mp3s. then i have been experimenting with copying the music to dropbox and using that to stream it to my iphone. works very well. and all free. i think dropbox has some bandwidth limits, but they are very high, so no issues.

and twitter finally buys tweetdeck, about time. and cheap.

and google introducing wireless payment system

and yandex surges after their IPO.

and there is no bubble?

idol finals today/tomorrow. hope scotty doesn't win.

amazon had a promotion today (monday) where you could download lady gaga's latest album - born this way - in full, as a high qualify MP3 album, for $0.99. it was to get more people to test out their cloud storage. i think it worked pretty well, i certainly bought it . on top of that you got storage bumped up to 20 Gb on the cloud drive, pretty cool.
