Thank you Amazon.com for selling DRM-free mp3 Music Downloads! May 15, 2008
Posted by Major in : MP3 music downloads , add a commentIn the past I have bought songs from musicmatch jukebox, yahoo, walmart, and iTunes. All of these songs had restrictions on which computers I could play them on or what I could do with the music. This was because of the Digital Rights Management or “DRM” which is the software that is designed to control or limit how a file can be played, copied, downloaded, shared, or accessed.
Now AmazonMP3
Bravo Amazon for making music user friendly again.
The above player will play a sample of some of the songs that I have downloaded from Amazon.com.
I was rearended today! May 10, 2008
Posted by Major in : Rearended , add a commentAs I was driving down cleary road today, I slowed to a stop behind the rural mail carrier as they were stopped putting mail into a box. I was stopped for about 15 seconds waiting for the oncoming traffic to clear so I could go on around the mail carrier, when I heard the sound of screeching tires and then felt a thud from behind. Everything that I had on my dashboard was all of a sudden on my floorboard. The damage to my truck was minimal, but the car that hit me received major damage. I’m sure it was totaled. She was quite shaken up but stated that she was alright. She refused transport to the hospital by ambulance. I hope her husband took her on to the ER though because her left arm was beginning to swell in a couple of places. She was in her vehicle alone as was I, but her husband showed up on the scene quickly. She told me that he was a member of the Richland police department.
I took the following pictures with my Iphone. They have been reduced in size by 50% for posting on the web.
UMC Candlelighters - Picnic at the zoo April 26, 2008
Posted by Major in : Childhood Cancer, Jackson Zoo, UMC Candlelighters, iPhone blogging , add a commentLots of fun was had by everyone attending the UMC Candlelighters 2008 Picnic at the Jackson Zoo today. The food was catered by Penn’s Fish House and they did a wonderful job feeding everybody. I attended the picnic with my wife and children and they got to meet some of the people that I work with at the Blair E. Batson Hospital for children. After the picnic we rode the train around Livingston Park and then we went into the zoo to see the animals and ride the carousel. It was a comfortable day and although it did rain some it was not enough to spoil our day. Many areas of the zoo was closed for renovations, but there was still plenty to see. I’m looking forward to next years picnic.
The UMC Candlelighters are a nonprofit organization of parents and friends of children with cancer that provides emotional, financial and educational support to families.

Spring Yard Cleanup April 12, 2008
Posted by Major in : In the yard, iPhone blogging , add a commentThis weekend the kids and I did a lot of yard cleanup. We cleared brush and burned limbs, pine straw, and other yard debris. We managed to keep this burn barrel going for three days. The kids loved the outdoor activity and I enjoyed getting the grass cutting season off to a good start.

Posted by Major in : iPhone blogging , add a commentToday I chaperoned a third grade field trip for Michael’s class. I had three other active boys to keep up with in addition to Michael. We had a great time at the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science. The kids really enjoyed the aquariums and the nature trails. The kids got to watch a diver in one of the big fish tanks feeding the fish.

“Circus Clown” by Fred Hunt November 24, 2007
Posted by Major in : Art, Fred Hunt - Artist , add a commentThere is a print of a painting called Circus Clown next to the second floor nurses station at the Blair E. Batson Children’s Hospital. When I first saw this print it kept me looking at it over and over again. Often during that shift I caught myself just sitting at the nurses station gazing at the print. When I got home from work I did a search on the net to try to order a copy. Sadly it seems to be out of print. If anybody that reads this knows where I can obtain a copy of this print please let me know.
I would put a picture of the print here, but I respect the artists copyright. But if you do a google search for “Circus Clown” and “Fred Hunt” then a few poster sites will have a picture of the print if you want to see it.
If you want to visit the artists website, just click on this link.
