My friend was supposed to be on this boat with Jim Gary:

Vast search off coast for data wizard

Searchers found no sign Tuesday of Jim Gray, considered one of the nation's most innovative and distinguished computer scientists, who never returned Sunday from a solo boating trip near the Farallon Islands to scatter his mother's ashes.

U.S. Coast Guard crews, hampered by fog, searched a 15,900-square-mile area off the Northern California coast in boats, a plane and a helicopter for the San Francisco researcher who founded Microsoft's Bay Area Research Center. For a second day, they found no trace of Gray's 40-foot vessel, named the "Tenacious."

I have to confess: I don't listen to much music. If I am listening to music, usually it ends up being mixes of songs I am in the middle of working on. I perpetually attack my songs/mixes with a nice ting of obsession (rather than the narcissism you may expect or gleam from this post).  Although, I do know other people that listen to their own radio show in bed, so I don't feel so bad.

heh

Now that I have a membership to a gym I am need of good exercising music. I dug up my old industrial CDs I had burried under a pile of clothes I don't fit into any more, but I want something new. I haven't bought a new album in....lord....probably 2 years. I know, it is horrible. Very horrible indeed.

I got an iTunes Store account and have gotten a handful of new stuff that I think may be good to work out to. I got the last Depeche Mode album (meh, it's ok), "Oh La La" by Goldfrapp (I love some of their stuff), and I got a grip of Gorillaz.
