The passing of Steve Jobs however is a momentous occasion because he is a legend, whether you’re a fan of Apple not.

I am the owner of two computers running snow leopard, I own two ios devices ( an original iphone and a 4th generation ipod ) but I am at heart a unix hacker .. I have disagreed completely with many of the policies apple has taken when it comes to development, and in general.. how they do business..

It is Jobs’ perfectionist way that has lead Apple to their success, his desire for perfection and uniformity and his uncompromising attitude.. has it been bad? I think in some ways it has.. but it has lead to what we have now, it has forced his employees to deliver a top notch user experience, the hardware to be sexy and sleek, and the competitors to clammer.. in otherwords, it has pushed competitiveness.. which is precisely what drove us where we are now.. whether you love or hate apple, they set bars that others were forced to try to reach .. and today we lost a driving force behind that, so lets hope we have another Jobs in our generation..

Event Horizon 2.0

iTunes: click here

The new album features 25 tracks, including 12 songs off of the original album and 13 brand new songs to expand on the experience.

Event Horizon takes place in a dark dystopian future where freedom is a thing of the past. A dark force is hunting down the last remnants of individuality to destroy any resistance in its path.

This album is designed to provide an atmosphere so not all of the tracks are musical in nature, some of them are there to expand on the story as it unfolds in your imagination.

Listen now, buy links are at the top of this post :)

So who is this guy? He’s a man who was born in December back in 1965, so if he didn’t have enough to complain about .. being buck naked mid december is certainly one of them.. but I digress..

Greg was born and raised in the queens, he certainly had a lot of things to tap into for his talent and ther’es no doubt that a successful self defence is picking on others.. Greg is amazing in that regard..

The thing I admire most about Greg and really the thing I’ll mis most about his loss is his quick wit and willingness to say things regardless.. he may not have been a widely known comedian, but he had balls of steel and he was all too happy to show it off .. Greg, you will be missed.. I know how late I am but really I am a guy with no voice any way so it doesn’t matter..  all too fitting that a man who is unknown salutes you ;)

1. When contacting support by phone, you can spend 30-60 minutes on the line and get someone who knows very little about the issue.
2. If you e-mail about a problem, you face not getting a response at all, often when we contacted support via e-mail it would take 3-4 follow ups and a “Is anyone alive?” type message to even get a response at all, and then after that, more ignoring.
3. If you have any opened issues they are working on and your support contract expires? they will slam the door shut until you renew.. ( our client has had one issue open since 2008, and another critical issue opened for weeks.. support contract ended and they stopped talking ).

So when I followed up asking about a pending issue despite our contract having ended .. I was told

“[name witheld] has been directed to not continue with this research until support renewal is in place.”

Our client’s perspective is “Why should we pay you another several grand to help us when you’ve not solved our issues? what are we paying for?”

Dydacomp’s Perspective “I can’t respond till you give us more money… and once you do, we’ll most likely ignore you again until renewal time comes up” ..

If you’ve had similar issues, lets hear it … and what, if anything… can we do about this?

Ultimately the film maker “Mr. Brainwash” himself focuses less on street art and more on himself which is frustrating to me, but you still get quite a few interesting glimpses… you watch the film really kind of bothered by what you see… you see a guy who seems somewhat egocentric and who obviously has loads of cash to just throw away at a whim .. traveling for years on end leaving his wife behind to tend to the children, hiring scores of people to do the artwork credited to him… you kind of don’t know whether or not you should love him or hate him… he ultimately seems like a bit of a dick, using those around him to gain fame… and he ultimately seems to be someone who’s used extremely talented people to forge a name .. but it was at the end of the film when I was thinking .. “f*ck that guy” .. that a realization hit .. perhaps this film is in it’s own way a piece of art ..

One has to consider that the street artists did appear in the film and obviously ok’d their interviews and image to be used, and even the bits where they put the filmmake down are included.. when you realize that.. either it is a raw and brave bit of work, or it’s a finely crafted bit of art in and of itself..  I prefer to believe the latter… These guys are brilliant and I really think they’ve chosen to use this medium to the full potential .. otherwise…  the film maker is nuts and they just didn’t realize what they’d gotten into.

Nevertheless! .. check it out.. it’s an entertaining look into the brilliant street artists out there.. and if you’re reading Banksy … good on ya… and Mr. Brainwash, I’m glad your site didn’t have an active contact form.. I was going to write to tell you how deplorable it is to just copy other’s style, but given time to think.. made me realize I perhaps looked at things entirely wrong.

I heard that Brennan was released from the rehabilitation clinic this week and then was surprised to find a comment from Brennan on the blog, which I confess was very nice to get.

In that comment, Brennan confirms that he doesn’t have any memory of the incident which is quite understandable given the severity of the accident.. he says that most likely he fell asleep behind the wheel since he’d not been to bed yet and worked the previous day .. I for one am perfectly willing to accept that and move on. I am very pleased that Brennan is now back home with family and can continue on with his life.. he’s no doubt going to be bombarded by media and others over the coming months, but that will pass.

Here’s the comment left by Brennan today: ( link )

Hi,

thank you for all the kind things you said about me. Most things I read on the internet have not been very sensitive at all.

I don’t remember the accident at all, but I am certain I didn’t do it on purpose like some people are saying.. I absolutely loved my car. It is likely that I fell asleep at the wheel & floored it with an exhausted foot.. I hadn’t slept all night & I worked the previous day. But I still am unsure.

As for me being a bad driver.. my previous record was on an extremely rainy day & i had no traction control, stability control, or antilock brakes on that car, really difficult to drive in the rain with that. I did have a need for speed, but i dont even remember going fast the time I wrecked I am not sure how that happened.

Thanks for stopping & not running me over.

Much appreciation!

If you browse the blog you’ll learn quicklly my issues covering all topics related to these two companies..  but I’m now back with TuneCore and it was a very pleasant experience .. the cost is higher than free of course, but you get what you pay for :)

The release cycle was very simple  and pleasant, point and click all the way! i love that they now require raw wav files .. earlier in my experience it was mp3 files so this is a nice change and it means a higher quality product.

TuneCore also offers a very attractive “Widget” you can add to your site that allows your fans to listen to your work and buy right there without having to have any sort of e-com expertise ..

All in all, my experience with TuneCore has always been stellar, I am sorry I left them and I’m very happy to be back .. it’s like coming home…

PS. I am also a huge fan of the people behind TuneCore .. they are very responsive, friendly and have visited this blog on several occasions… Keep up the excellent work guys!

PS. PS. I never promote my work here, but I will this time.. mainly to show off the widget .. check out www.oneduality.com to see it in action.. and if you buy my album? I won’t argue :)

Second Update: I added my own copy of the youtube video, but I added annotations to help point out a few things.. see the bottom of this post

Third Update: Apparently police had Brennan in custody 20 minutes earlier in relation to drug paraphernalia and an unopened alcohol container.

Fourth Update: Someone pointed out to me today just how lucky Brennan is that I reacted so quickly because of this… I had my cruise control on and I was locked in at 65mph flat, at that speed you’re traveling 95.333 feet per second .. if I had been even half a second slower to apply my breaks, I would have ran him over and been at least 20 feet past him .. Kind of freaks me out to think about that.

——————————————————– Original Article Below:

This morning was like any other morning.. Up at 6:00am, out the door and on my way to work.

7:15am I am in the center lane heading to work like I always do when I noticed in my rear view this car moving VERY fast and passing cars on the shoulder, which was insane because the car to the back left of me was a police cruiser.  I had no idea what this person could be thinking flying by a cop doing easily 100mph.

The next few seconds were absolutely surreal .. the firebird lost control and hit the guard rail at full speed, which launched the car into the air under the overpass/bridge .. my guess is at least 10-15 feet, probably more.. His car hit the center concrete support beam and then broke / exploded into 3 large pieces and a few smaller pieces..  Part of the car came to an immediate stop when he hit the beam, part of it went off into the oncoming traffic and fortunately did not hit anyone, and then the rear of the car went on another hundred feet or so .. The driver ( un named at the time I write this ) was ejected a couple hundred feet and landed quite literally 10 feet in front of my car where I had just managed to come to a full stop.

When I saw this man there on the shoulder of the road quite far from where it began, I didn’t know what I was looking at .. I was in complete and total shock, I at first thought it was a seat from the car, or some other form of debris.. 10 seconds or so later I realized what I was looking at and I got out of my car as fast as I could, I looked back to see parts of the car in flames and people getting out of their vehicles..  I saw a cop, the same cop this man flew by .. getting out of his car and people running to the wreckage.. I yelled “He’s over here!”  and people came running.. He was miraculously still breathing but he was clearly a mess, he looked hardly anything like a person.

Within about 10 or 15 minutes, care flight arrived and they loaded the man and took off.. I was SURE he was gone by the time they arrived but apparently now, at last check nearly 8 hours later, he’s still alive and in critical condition and Miami Valley Hospital.

I’m fortunate, as are the others.. the amount of force needed to do this to a car, the amount of damage done and the sheer distance this man was thrown from his car.. it could have easily killed us if the debris didn’t land where it did.

My thoughts go out to him and his family..  He’s lucky to be alive, and I hope very much that it stays that way.
