I recently did up an animation portfolio website for John Kennedy, a mate of mine who is trying to get into the videogame animation business.  This morning he sent me what has to be the coolest email I have ever received - a 3D rendered version of myself in Lego, complete with a Ducati t-shirt!  I'm "as happy as a dog with two mickeys", as my wife so eloquently put it.  Classy lady.

Audible.com & their ridiculous DRM PDF Print E-mail

I recently bought some of the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company's dramatisations of H.P. Lovecraft's books from Audible.co.uk only to discover that they contained DRM so I couldn't listen to them on my Roku Soundbridge in the sitting room.  Needless to say this really hacked me off.

A few minutes googling found this petition against Audible.com's DRM.  Seems Amazon promised to remove the DRM when they bought Audible but are now pretending its nothing to do with them.  Below is a copy-and-paste of the email I sent to Amazon, Audible.co.uk and Audible.com.  Hopefully its one voice in a scream rather than a whisper.

Some poems about Conor following his horrific skydiving crash.

 

There was a young man from Artane,
Who liked to jump out of a plane,
But he soiled his trousers,
When he crossed at a thousand,
Cos he just knew it would all end in pain

 - Cianer

 

There was a young man from Portmarnock
Whose father in law was a sky jock
Good Friday’s events
Proved he had no sense
The sky jock was simply a dumb cock

 - Conor
