Ah, sweet folking irony

Just bought the album Show of Hands, by Show of Hands from Amazon.  MP3 version, DRM-free, etc. 

Seems wrong to buy folk music online in the purely electronic version.  Seems like the type of thing that Show of Hands would be writing songs about; bemoaning the demise of the record shop and the poor store clerk who can’t feed his family no more … nonny-nonny.

The former ‘Beatle’, who has been seeing Nancy Shevell of late, feels very comfortable with her because she is not seeing him because of his money…

Yes Sir Paul, maybe you should only date women who can stand on their own two feet in future.

Dear Serg/Larry,

 

In case you’re wondering: Yes, I would be prepared to work for you (provided the money’s right).

I know a thing or two about Java and mobile phones.

 

Have one of your minions break into my Google Docs account and check out my resume.  It’s the one called “riksagar.resume2007.doc”.  Save me the trouble of Googling your HR department.

 

That’s all for now,

Rik.

 

p.s., what’s this I hear about free lunches?

That's right, it's the new price of a damn small latte! To add insult to injury - as part of this "upgrade" - they've remove the little biscuit I used to get with my coffee.

I wonder when the old store will make it onto http://oldversion.com/
