The Maggot's Back!

Helllllloooo Cyberspace!

To those of you who actually read my blog, I'm back! It's been a while---I've been busy finishing up classes so I can graduate on time (blah, blah, blah). Currently, I find myself at my desk, unable to sleep, thinking of the best possible way to be productive with the time that would otherwise be spent staring aimlessly at the computer screen. But, that's enough out of me.

I'm back, in full-force. In an effort to be as concise as possible in my second-wind, I will only report on issues I feel are necessary to report on. And, this time, I will not limit my reports to technological developments and how they are changing the music business. Instead, I seek to determine how these technological advancements influence the entertainment industry, as a whole.

With that said, I'm going to sleep--at 2:30 am. Currently, I'm in the process of training to break the world record of how many consecutive days one can go without rest...I'm building my resistance to sleep...slowly but surely. In the meantime, here's an interesting YouTube video I came across a while ago, just a hint of the things to come...




This won't be the last you hear from me,
