Just a thought. When discussing berating lecturing telling communicating with people in a sentence such as It doesn't work like that at all. the communication works a bit better when you define what it or that might refer to. Otherwise, you sow confusion. People attempt to discuss/decipher your meaning and invest it with their own meaning. What did you mean? Who knows? You flunked -- especially when you are a professional communicator. So true, Junie. To make matters worse (for me), the world of Twitter makes me feel like I'm reading a foreign language. What with people's fast thumb typing, errors, shortened words, I can hardly figure out what some people are TRYING to say. Not to mentions 10 hashtags in a post. |

Also, Adam is pretty much the only celebrity I know who can wear poop-brown and it looks good on him. He’s done it before and I’m always amazed. Well done, Mr. Lambert.

No matter what the topic seems to be, just reply "HOLY FUCKBALLS" followed by 60 exclamation points and you'll fit right in. |

  Totally OT: Oh, and if you think about starting to create mandelbrot sets or fractals... I strongly recommend not to do it. It drives you crazy and is bad for your health, cause you just can't stop and you won't get any sleep Just sayin...  Oh oh - and I love Adam as a guest on AI's judging panel. That's where he belongs! But he can't fulfil this duty for long, cause he's got way more important things to do... like finishing A3! Heh heh. Mandelbrot sets are ALWAYS addicting!! Spent **way** too much time coding them in high school. (In BASIC and Pascal #yesI'mold #FORTRANsucks) Them's fighting words  I learned Fortran back in the mid-70's and still use it ocassionaly. It is still the best language for fast number crunching. And modern versions of Fortran have added features that fix the shortcomings of the early years and make it more like MatLab. But, I tend to use Java more these days sine I am doing more web based stuff now which I would not even attempt in Fortran. |

Interesting article from MJs: Who Buys Music Anymore? A Statistical Inquiry1. Who buys CDs? The middle-aged. Sixty-one percent of people who buy CDs are 36 and older, according to MusicWatch’s estimate. Ten years ago, that figure was just 36%. Back in 2004, people over 50 made up just 19% of the CD-buying population, but today they’re more than a third.This could help explain the relatively high number of veteran artists who have notched their first career No. 1 albums in 2014, including Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, The Black Keys, Sia, and Weird Al Yankovic. 2. Among music buyers in general, teenagers just aren’t the force they used to be. As a group, 13 to 17-year-olds have plummeted to a mere 7% of the CD-buying population, down from 14.9% in 2004. Their share of digital purchases, either singles or albums, is also down a healthy 12 percentage points — to just 13% — as downloading has become more mainstream among older demographics. 3. Digital downloading is no longer a male-dominated activity. A majority of people who bought music digitally in 2014 were female (53%), according to MusicWatch’s estimate — a big change from 2004, when 60% of digital purchasers were male. More... www.buzzfeed.com/reggieugwu/who-buys-music-anymore-a-statistical-inquiry#3x0w1jaso....this pretty much describes us. we are the force behind keeping music industry. middle aged women. who knew we were doing it right all along. adam has nothing to fear! (stupid comments or not  ) |

(stupid comments or not ) It goes along with the short attention spans that many people have in the social media age and how new releases are on people's radar for a very short period of time in most cases. I'm part of the digital download age but it doesn't mean that it isn't sad to see things come and go so quickly. |
