Hmm, I woke up very early this morning while at my mom and dad’s house in Fresno. Tanya and I had come down to pick up our girls after a week at the Grandparents house. I log onto the blog to listen to some music while wanting to get some reading done. I head right to my Last.FM player on the blog. Press go and WHAT? Lindsey lohan? GIVE ME A BREAK, thats not music. . .

For those of you that don’t know, Last.FM is a site where you able to listen to music that you like.  First thing is to download the little applet that will watch the tunes you play on your computer using iTunes or any other media player.  Last.FM then collects that info and makes a playlist and chart of what you like.  Eventually it will be able to build a radio station of songs you like, or songs from people with similar tastes as you.  Well, that is how it used to work.

So this morning I expected to hear some of my favorite songs but instead its giving me stuff that I would never listen to.  I’m not sure what is happening.  Either there is some problem with all the heat that has been put on Internet Radio stations of late or the suggestion software algorithm has gone completely stupid.  So, for now I have taken it down.

I will get to the bottom of this

Pet-peeve department:  I don’t know about you but I am really getting tired of seeing the term “WTF” become a mainstream acronym.  Now mind you I am not a prude but I think our language in today’s day has moved beyond the point of using a swear word as a means of expressing ourselves.

There is no difference in using the letters WTF than saying “What the ______”  You get the point.  And my point is stop.  There is no need to be vulgarer just because you think its cool, everyone is doing it, shoot John C. Dvorak is using it in his headlines everyday.

That does not make it right, it just means we are being conformists.  Conforming to what we think is the norm from people who can not communicate is a waste of our time. In Romans 12:2 Paul tells us not to conform to the world but be transformed by the renewing of our minds.

So, enough with using WTF.  Lets have some class and represent.
