Not long ago I worked with a guy named Sebastian Schultz who was in a band called Bad Veins. Some time later he left the company to pursue music full-time. They have now signed with indie label Dangerbird Records.Well, today, music from their new album was played on Good Morning America. You can see it on YouTube.Congrats guys!Buy the album:Amazon or iTuneshttp://www.jeffjones.com/2010/02/way-to-go-bad-veins.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Spidey)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12678328.post-3862242703595483020Mon, 22 Feb 2010 01:59:00 +00002010-02-21T21:29:09.464-05:00I'm currently involved in a personal experiment. I started it on Ash Wednesday, but I'm not really thinking about it as a spiritual exercise. I've decided that during Lent I would live without reruns. That means I'm not allowed to watch any television shows or movies that I've seen before. Now this sounds pretty simple but for me it's not.

That's one of our projects. While we did not create the technology we (WonderGroup) created ToppsTown.com, the site where you activate these cards.

When I see an application with bad UI, overly complex, unstable and inconsistent features, I scream, I complain and if possible I refuse to use it. However, as I watch people use things like Powerpoint and Word, I realized, they have been duped.

I figure, when everyone's screaming why add another voice to the cacophony? But something occurred to me that I have to blog.It all started when I heard sequential audio clips from Barrack Obama and John McCain about the economy.

First, Barney Frank (D-Ma) said the reason the Federal Gov't (BTW, don't forget that Federal Gov't is code for YOU) should give even more money to Boston for the "Big Dig" is because that's what it means to be part of a Federal Government. He said if New Orleans can have money after Katrina then we should have some too.

Just check to see if their lips are moving. It's a little trickier to judge political ads.However, I have come up with a way to judge if a political ad is attempting to deceive me. If they show their opponent in a grainy, distorted, unflattering video, they must be lying.
