Spiral Frog

Remember back in the early days, when music downloads were free?

Well, so has SpiralFrog.com, a new service that officially launched today.

Now, first off, the site is swamped, and it is day one.  The site isn't handling the load too well. Next limitation.. Windows only, requires WMP11, and IE is pretty forward to install, FireFox requires a few extra steps (but aren't Firefox users accustomed to that?)

Now, it is basically Napster To Go, with out the $14.95 monthly fee.  You signup (no credit card, no spyware, no download charge, etc.) and you download.  You can only download 1 track at a time at this point.  The idea is that you might wander around and see advertising on the site (and besides the BK Simpsons Shooter, none of the ads I saw were that appealing.)  You must revisit the site every 30 days to keep your license active. At that time you will take a short survey and all the music you downloaded is extended for another month.  You don't have to redownload it.  Now, lets say that you forget for 60 days.  Well, it is all terminated and won't play... until you go back to the site and take the survey.  No need to redownload everything.

Besides the site being bogged down by lots of traffic today, it looks like a pretty cool service.  Of course, it still needs some work...

I downloaded Oingo Boingo, Nine Inch Nails and Hilary Duff and Kanye West to name a few artists.

Check out SpiralFrog.com!

PS. They also have music videos to download for free as well.

UPDATE: I forgot to mention that you cannot burn to CDs and it only supports PlayForSure Subscription enabled players (which is many of the WMA 'MP3' players that support WMP11.  This is similar to NaptsterToGo (and actually most NapsterToGo players are compatible with this site.)

Hello... and welcome to my LiveJournal. OK, so you hoof probably been here before.

Just remembered that this weekend was the 21st Annual Stockton Asparagus Festival. Now, normally, Mogers do not like it, but I remember going about 8-9 years ago and hoofing a good time and eating some interesting asparagus stuff, so I was hoping to be able to go again. Maybe next year.

In a couple weeks is CaliFur. I hope to at least to get to go for the weekend to see some of my furiends in the area.

Went to the Sacramento 49'er Truck Stop today and ate at the Silver Skillet (pretty good.) The parking lot was packed, so I was worried that it would be crowded but there was only a few people inside. The rest of the people were in the large back parking lot where the Northern Truck Driving Championship was being held. First time I hoof been there, and there were lots of interesting people. I was going to wear my tail but was talked out of it (buh).

All the exciting categories... Straight Truck, Flat-Bed Division, 3-Axle Division, 4-Axle Division, Doubles, 5-Axle Division, Tanker, Sleeper, and Package Delivery. The 4- and 5- axle divisions were competing while I was there. Got to see the FexEx Ground NASCAR race car up close... was kinda cool.

This week has been pretty good. As far as going out and doing stuff, it was definately quality not quantity. *happy moger dance* Been busy at work, trying to get stuff online, updated, fixed... it is an interesting work environment and I have hoofing fun. Now if I can just get someone to come down and go out to the yard and find a starter compatible with my car for me :-)

I had a great talk with a furiend about stuff... and made me think about a lot of things. Such as I have some personal and financial stuff that I need to focus on. I shouldn't worry that I have limited interactions with others and that I don't have a BF, and stuff like that. Focus on the immediate, enjoy what I have, and work out my future plans. Now, that doesn't mean turning down opportunities for friends and such... just don't focus so much on it.

Now I am hoofing an interesting talk about God with another furiend. Don't fear death. Don't rush into it either. Enjoy what you have and make the best of it. There isn't Fate, just direction. Life is a obstable course, take your time to make the right decisions and you will have more fun.

BTW, At my wake, I would like everyone to have a good time. I know it is really for the furiends and relatives (since I won't be attending).. but can McDonald's Happy Meals be served? That way everyone gets some food, has some fun, and a cool toy to take home. Much better than just a pamphlet with my face on it, some dates, some words and maybe a few Ferris Bueller quotes. =)

I used to think I would die in my 50s. I want to be 103 (at least)....well, actually I was thinking more like 138+ because it would be kinda cool to make it to the 22nd Century. One of my favorite years is 2121 but I am not sure if I want to be living for over 159 years. =)

If you want to have some moger time, I sometimes have Monday nights, Wednesday night, Friday nights, Saturday (various times) and Sunday afternoons available. But don't worry about my schedule.. I am spontaneous. Call, txt, msg, IM, email, write...whatever and let me know if you want to hang out with a moger somewhere (or at my house) for awhile. Sometimes I can and sometimes I can't.

If anyone has a 2007 Saturn Sky that would let me drive it one or even ride in it once, I would be a very happy moger. OK... I already am a very happy moger...yeah.

Oh, a few days ago, McDonalds said they were teaming up with a fitness company to sell exercise DVDs at its US restaurants with the launch of its new "happy meals" for adults. It is partnering with responDESIGN, the publisher of Yourself!Fitness, a video game focused on health and fitness. Under the partnership, McDonald’s will sell exclusive Yourself!Fitness DVDs in the United States from April 25 to May 22 with the introduction of its new Go Active! Happy meal for adults. The DVDs will feature a virtual personal trainer and offer 15-minute workouts. Each will focus on a specific program, including yoga, cardio, core strengthening and strength building.

Now, why dont' they include some prOn DVDs in their "Adult Happy Meals"... that would make a lot of adults very happy =) "I'm Lovin' It!"

"Is that happy meal for straight, gay, bi, lesbian or couples?"

I like Napster.

My birthday is in a month (May 23). Amazon gift cards are accepted by mogers =) OK, yeah, I would really like an xbox360 or a notebook or other stuff, but I can't afford that right now.

This was on my screen for over 2 hours... kept editing and adding to it while talking with some furiends.

Yeah, I am RAnDOm.
