Check it out, it's very interesting. Be sure to read it all the way to the end. It's definitely not what I expected:

New Look

Welcome to the new look for icantdothatdave! I designed it with Tron in mind. If you have any trouble seeing page elements, let me know. I tend to use high contrast monitors where everything is clearly visible, so I don't know if older lower contrast CRT monitors will show everything clearly.
A quick update to a previous post: It seems that something is finally being done about the whole DRM mess. EMI, one of the four major record labels, has released their entire collection free of DRM on iTunes. Hopefully this will force the other major record labels to follow suit or be left in the dust. One of my favorite bands, the Decemberists, is signed with Capitol Records who are part of EMI. If I didn't already own all of their albums, I would be downloading them from iTunes right now. Anyway, for all who are interested, you can find out which bands are part of the EMI collection by looking on this page:

If any of those bands are among your favorites, then please support the anti-DRM effort by purchasing some of their songs from iTunes.

Awesome Video

Here is an extremely funny video (at least at 3 in the morning it was!):
