28. A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Ersatz Elevator by Lemony Snicket

The Ersatz Elevator (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 6)

Lemony Snicket

When I was a desk jockey in San Francisco, I frequently changed my desktop image to something happy and tropical because I was, well - unhappy & cold. Now that I'm back in Hawaii, I wanted to put some images out into the internets, in case anyone out there is searching for warm, flowery, happy, tropical, Hawaii wallpaper:

Books prove prayer can cure cancer, says archbishop

TERMINAL illness such as cancer can be cured by prayer, the head of the Catholic Church in Australia said.

But Catholic Archbishop of Sydney Cardinal George Pell admitted such cures, like the miracle attributed to Mary MacKillop, were obviously rare.

"Yes obviously (cancer can be cured by prayer)," Cardinal Pell told ABC Television today.

"And there are quite a number of examples in the books."

Cardinal Pell said that wouldn't give sick people a false sense of security because they realised cure by prayer was a "very long shot".

The Vatican has recognised Mother Mary's role in the healing a woman with inoperable cancer during the mid-1990s after she prayed to Mother Mary.

It was the second miracle attributed to Mary MacKillop, set to become the nation's first saint 100 years after her death.

Transforming Music: Tod Machover

Transforming music

I think what Tod fails to realize is that this is just a VIDEO GAME! It's video entertainment, on a gaming platform (PS3, PS2, XBOX 360, PC, Wii), it's not like the user will become some form of celebrity from playing this game. Well, unless they're going for the world record of best player for the game. You're not going to see people lining up to buy tickets for Guitar Hero/Rock Band performances other than some kind of large drunken party. Get over it and STFU! Another thing I'm rather tired of hearing is how some will claim to be good at one but not the other. I heard one person say they were a professional musician and looked down on the games RB and GH. I was tempted to ask them about their last album cycle, current record sales and even their previous US or World tour. This person couldn't say they experienced any of those things. So, unless, you're signed to a major record label, knocking out album after album, you're NOT a professional musician. It's secondary.

I've appreciated music for years, I played guitar as a kid but walked away from it once I hit high school because I was wrapped up as a 3 sport athlete. There were times when I'd still pull out my Ibanez DT-350 and pluck away at songs I knew. At 18, my parents sold my guitar and while upset, I didn't try to pick up the guitar again. It wasn't until the first Guitar Hero hit that it rekindled my interest in playing. I collected all the games because of the wide variety of songs on each setlist that the user can play. The game did help me with coordination and finger dexterity using the controller. That's it. I loved just playing the game for the sake of it being a game, but it felt as if something was missing. So, I bought a couple guitars and started to play again. I think had it not been for each gaming franchise, I never would've taken the initiative to start playing again.

The games offer the music to the gaming masses, it can help introduce people to other forms of music (rock, classic rock, metal, ect..). Maybe it can even help bring people over from gaming and into music (like myself). I think the dumbing down of music lies in rap. The same autotuning crap, recycled beats and nursery rhyme style lyrics into some non-coherent 'song' with the person talk-singing, that's not music.
