The Apple iPad
Jan 27
Like many of you gadget lovers I followed Apple’s keynote today for the presentation of the mystery device called…iPad. So, first off, what in the name of gawd were they thinking with the name “iPad” ?! It’s just terrible. Oh and the Apple iPad was previously released in 2007 for woman only!! Don’t believe me? Watch here
Second off, a lot of people complains that there aren’t any HDMI, USB and so fourth. That is a bummer indeed (although there supposed to be separate connectors included in the box), but what really annoys the hell outta me is that there is no file manager, no home folder, thanks to iPhone OS because, no, unfortunately it’s not running Mac OS X. That’s a bit sucky. So, it really is more like a giant iPod Touch than a MacBook “Lite”. Either way, I will give this thing a try when its released in the spring and see for myself.
Updated February 1: OK I have carefully watched Steve Jobs keynote again and been reading about articles all over the websphere and realized something: Many many people are totally missing the point on what iPad is about I think. I think Apple may have hit a home run!
Apart for maybe missing a web-cam, this thing has a bright future lying ahead. Think what it can do for publishers (paper journal, magazines, books), doctors, schools, the service sector, etc, etc. It’s nuts! I get it, this thing is not for IT managers, power users and computer geeks. It’s for people doing real work in the real world. It’s for my parents who were always scared to use a mouse and a computer! It’s for the casual folks sitting on the couch and reading a book on Sunday afternoon. It is the easiest and fastest way to get on the web!
For years we have been hearing about how computers have evolved and are much “easier to use” than ever but that’s bullshit, they’re not! People still have to deal with anti-virus software, drivers, reformatting the hard drive, disk cleanup, fragmentation, slow boot time and shut down. My mom and dad don’t want to deal with this shit! They just want to pick the damn thing, press one button and boom they’re in! No boot delay, no disk managing required or updating video and sound drivers. Nothing. I think iPad will save a lot of people a lot of time and trouble. True ease of use finally for everyone else and that’s why it’ll be a hit. Perhaps not at first, but once the ecosystem settles in it will take off, just like the iPod did has it changed the music industry. With iTunes and the AppStore at the center of it all the iPad will shine, I’m sure.
Oh Canada Movie
Jan 21
My fellow Canadians, take a look at your favorite MP discussing the economic crisis, the Canadian dollar & see how in the name of god we got to be so oblivious if not near-moronic when we elect those retards to run our country.
By the way, the film is low budget, sure, but the film was basically done by a teenager with a cheap camera. The results are simply STUNNING. The film is a real eye-opener and contains the best footage I have ever seen about our idiots in Ottawa.

Hello Mat! When can we go for lunch so you can buy me lunch. I would like chicken teriyaki please 
Updated: So I just got off the phone with Mat and it looks like we’ll be going tomorrow instead cuz he’s going with Sheryl today. Although she may be cuter than me I still believe I have seniority since I am older…and wiser, hehe.
Radio Star Forever!
Jan 10
Just came across this video and, man o’ man…I was just a little kid when this was released. My sister had the 45 rpm! But what an awesome song!
Now, whats even more amazing is that the original band members reunited in 2004 to play that song again. The result? Simply AWESOME!! Watch it:
So what ya think?!

Well there ya go. This is the new BitBurn.org Version 11.01 and I sure hope you like the design. Next up, the content. I need to update the content, yes I know. Let me look if I have any more Capital Sound exclusives. How about some naked pictures of your girlfriend? I might have that! Haha!!
And, visit the BitBurn Archives for all the older stuff between January 2007 to December 2009.

Well well I am so happy to have returned to a full web hosting so I could install Wordpress.org and start fucking around with PHP again! There is no better feeling than to be able to choose the exact WP template you want and customize it to your likened
So, before you start wondering where are all the old blog entries, well, they’re not here. That’s mostly because the Export feature at Wordpress.com does not seem to export “everything” from Wordpress.COM to .Wordpress.ORG. So because of that I decided to start fresh and wipe the slate clean. Why not?!
This is version 11 of BitBurn.org and is still in BETA since I am not sure about this theme. Well, we’ll see. Please visit the BitBurn Archives for all the older stuff between January 2007 to December 2009. It will remain online.
Just so you know all I am currently working on the migration of this site. Yes, I am going back to WordPress.org baby, with complete hosting, so what you see right now is a bit screwed up so bare with me aiight!? All posts between July and December ‘09 haven’t be imported here and I am not sure why. However, you can still access them here: http://bitburn.wordpress.com
OK so before I get started with this I want you to know that the following are only my personal favorite and not the best of the Oscars or MTV Awards. This is purely based on how I feel (and how I felt) when I hear these songs and see these flicks and what they mean to me. And, of course, it is extremely difficult to compress 10 years in a top 10! I also believe that the last 10 years have brought us the best movies ever. I also have discovered some incredible bands and performers. So here we go…
My Top 10 Songs of the Decade:
10- Carbon (Tori Amos)
09- Roll it up (The Crystal Method)
08- Beautiful Burnout (Underworld)
07- Breaking the Habit (Linkin Park)
06- Comfortable Liar (Chevelle)
05- Crush (Paul Van Dyk)
04- All I Need (Radiohead)
03- Falling Slowly (Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova)
02- Yellow (Coldplay)
01- Avalanche (Matthew Good)
My Top 10 Movies of the Decade:
10- District 9
09- King of Kong
08- The Bourne Identity
07- Gladiator
06- Idiocracy
05- Signs
04- Wall-E
03- Zeitgeist Addendum
02- Cast Away
01- Lords of the Ring Trilogy
Obviously, there are so many others that I would need to create a Top 100 and still compress twenty more songs and movies inside a top 10 because that is how much good stuff there is, it’s just crazy! Still, the above songs and movies certainly deserve to be there, for me anyway. So cheers & Happy Holidays!
Vision Deity
Dec 21
As I sit and drink my cup of hot chocolate tonight I am standing in awe at the shear beauty of nothing; the simplicity of nothing, here, sitting in the living room, I breathe, I pause a second, I think, I smile at the great gig in the sky…to the sound of nothing (or a Pink Floyd song, hehe!)
Never before has nothing been something to me. I am a stressed individual. I work a nice job but with crappy hours…9 to 5. That means I am always in the traffic, morning and evening and I fucking hate it and hate everybody in my path.
So, when I have a minute, like this one where I can write shit that so very few of you read (according to the site stats) I get happily happy for no particular reason. Happiness, what a tricky bugger that is. But I believe being ‘happy enough’ – I like the way that sounds. Because there is no such thing as being super happy. There’s happy moments but super happy all the time does not exist. What does exist however is ‘right now’ and right now I am happy enough.
