12 years in Indianapolis

On March 29, 1993 I started working for MSE Corporation at 941 North Meridian Street as a Digital Conversion Technician. I had moved here from Columbus, OH the Friday before. It's interesting to consider what has changed in the workplace in those 12 years. I had barely heard of the Internet and there were probably two people out of 300 at MSE who had access to the .Net. I had no email, no voice mail, no MP3s and my first work computer was a UNIX based machine that ran Intergraph Workstation.

Worst song ever; I'm so happy!

Driving into work today I heard Starship's "We built this city"

Hands down, this is the worst song ever created in the history of mankind.

I'm so grateful to WKLU 101.9 here in Indy for rolling out this stinky turd of a tune.

It represents the worst of the 80's, cheesy keyboards, inane lyrics and over powered bass line that I find personally offensive.

All the worst lyrics ever:

Someone's always playing corporation games
Who cares they're always changing corporation names

Isn't this band Starship itself a corporation living off past 60's glory cranking out schlocky Corporate rock and chaning its name: Jefferon Airplane >> Jefferson Starship >> Starship.

Listening to this song is like watching "Death Part III", it's soooo bad you can't help listening to it.

I just found this link which confirms my opinions.

Worst Songs ever

another day, another blog

It's gotten cold again here in Indianapolis. This Sunday was pleasant except we had to replace our dryer vent. Typical comedy of errors involved when I pick up a toolbox. the list of casualties: broke a window in the basement trying to get into the crawlspace, smashed wife's fingers while she was in said crawl space and I was on opposite side of the wall trying to will the vent attachement into its place. No I wasn't kicking the attachment in, I never force anything. I would do no such thing.

During the last repair miss-adventure I almost fell through the drywall in the garage trying to inspect a leak on the roof. Fortunately I only bent the ceiling out of shape and did not crash onto my '92 Saturn parked below.

I just ordered 3 old Genesis CDs off of Amazon. I got tired of waiting for the tracks to appear on itunes. So soon I shall be in possesion of Nursery Cryme, Selling England by the Pound and Foxtrot. This is from the "tea and crumpets" phase of the band with Peter Gabriel doing the main vocals, Phil Collins (before he became an annoying pop star) on backing vocals and drums.
