Francis Scott Key turns in his grave

Why Francis Scott Key?

Why did you compose arguably the most difficult anthem of all time?

The Star-Spangled Banner

When done right, it’s beautiful…

But more often than not, it’s awfull…

Good Lord!!! Shocked

“… Home of the Brave”, indeed. You have to be brave to attempt to sing this anthem.

What is it about this anthem?

Is it the verbosity of it? (yup… your eyes are not deceiving you, there are actually 4 verses to the Star-Spangled Banner)

Or its insanely wide range?

I still think it’s a Video Camera

I posted about this camera on September of 2007

Why rip when Fox will rip it for you.

Fox is now shipping DVDs with “Pre-Ripped” content.

My copy of “Family Guy, Blue Harvest” is one of the first titles to have this feature. You get a standard DVD movie and a second CD-ROM with the “Pre-Ripped” copy.

Buyer beware!!!

Viewing the “Pre-Ripped” copy is not as easy as just putting the disc into your computer, copying the file and pressing play. Ohh no… Here’s what really happens. The disc will auto play and open iTunes. iTunes will direct you to enter a serial number as prof of purchase. Once the serial number is confirmed, iTunes will download the “Pre-Ripped” copy into your media library.

Yup! that’s right.

The “Pre-Ripped” copy was never on the CD-ROM. You have to download it.

Oh well, at least you don’t have to pay for two copies of the movie.
