Last night I installed the update to iTunes (9.0.1). Everything seemed to go fine. After the install iTunes asked me to reboot my computer. I was way to lazy to actually do that, so I just told it would reboot it later, and opened iTunes. Ya that was a mistake.
When I opened iTunes, it informed me there was a problem with the database and it would rebuild it for me. After about 2 hours of working on it, iTunes finished. But it had lost all my music history, all my music was there, but it lost all my play lists and what not. Not that big a deal I can always recreate those.
So I spent the next few minuets recreating a few play lists from what my iPhone had on it, when it dawned on me. “I should just sync my phone and it would copy everything back” right? But that is not what happened.
I synced my phone, and it took nearly no time at all (maybe a full minute). When I looked at my phone after the sync, ya everything was gone.
So today I start the lovely task of rebuilding my phone.
Thank you Apple!!!

OK so maybe not the FDA but they should be run by someone like them. Just think about it, the FDA owns labs to test drugs before they are sold to us the customers. The drug industry would love to sell us everything they think up of, but they can’t. Since we have a check to make sure the drug will not kill us or make our skin turn blue. Currently there are no tests be made before a financial product is being sold to us. So here we are as a country relaying on our banks to sell us products that are good for us, but clearly they are only selling us products that are good for them. With an outside entity running check on our banks and what they do, by testing a product with models to see how it performs over a year or 5 years or even 25 years would give confidence to all of us who are use these products. If we have confidence in the banks again, we will all do better.

Over the weekend my old friend Kelsey and I went to the Great Minnesota Get Together. While we were there, we met up with Kelsey’s friend Mike to see the Brother Ali show at the MPR booth. We didn’t get to see much of the show, but we meet up with Mark Wheat after, to chat.

Thing’s looked promising, but that may have been a bit misleading. Check out Mitchell’s post on Microsoft’s dealings with the EC, also see Dotzler’s taken for deep look at the topic.
What are your takes?

So this morning I woke up and there were 3 large mushrooms growing next to my car outside my parents house (I’m dog sitting since their out of town). Just look at these big guys, I think the Smurfs may have moved in.

On Thursday, May 14th my parents got a new puppy, Odin. Odin is a Newfoundland, Lab mix, about a year old. He weighs about 65lb now, but I think he will fill out quit a bit and be a bit boy, maybe not tall, but big. So far he seems like a nice pup, he’s sweet and always needs to be by you, but he is a runner. You will also find more pictures of him in his Gallery Album.
