Kayla......very sorry for your loss

Joe hope you're getting some rest in between shows ( its an aggressive tour schedule,from what i've seen.)

Captain Steve, THANKYOU! It's nice to know that what I'm getting at does seem to make some sort of sense, 'cause you're right....I don't mean it like there's some sort of deep, hidden spiritual meaning to the tune, but I know when I really enjoyed recording it 'cause there was a lot of feeling and emotion going into it, and I still feel that if I practice playing it now.

It's not focused emotion about something specific and private, the tune is not about something personal, but I'm pretty sure it still has personality...my personality...in it!

Anyway, it seems that quite a lot of people basically agree so I'm happy about that! Thanks again dude, and also for saying "he should be [proud of it], it's a fine piece of work", hehe, much appreciated!

Google to unveil spreadsheet program

SAN FRANCISCO - Google Inc. will introduce a spreadsheet program Tuesday, continuing the Internet search leader's expansion into territory long dominated by Microsoft Corp.

Although it's still considered a work in progress, Google's online spreadsheet will offer consumers and businesses a free alternative to Microsoft's Excel application — a product typically sold as part of the Office software suite that has been a steady moneymaker for years.

To avoid swamping the company's computers, Google's spreadsheet initially will be distributed to a limited audience. Google also wants more time to smooth out any possible kinks and develop more features, said Jonathan Rochelle, the product manager of the new application.

The Mountain View, Calif.-based company planned to begin accepting sign-ups for the spreadsheet at 9 a.m. EDT Tuesday through the "labs" section of its Web site. Rochelle wouldn't specify how many people will be granted access to the spreadsheet application.

Google's spreadsheet isn't as sophisticated as Excel. For instance, the Google spreadsheet won't create charts or provide a menu of controls that can be summoned by clicking on a computer mouse's right-hand button.

Rochelle said the program's main goal is to make it easier for family, friends or co-workers to gain access to the same spreadsheet from different computers at different times, enabling a group of authorized users to add and edit data without having to e-mail attachments back and forth.

"We are totally focused on the sharing aspect," he said.

Although distributing software over the Internet gives more people greater access to programs, the approach requires trusting a custodian like Google to save and protect the information from unauthorized users.

That's a leap many security-conscious companies are unwilling to make and something consumers may be reluctant to do amid rising concerns of government snooping.

The spreadsheet represents Google's latest software application to be tethered to an Internet connection instead of a single computer's hard drive. Google acquired an online word processing application called Writely in March and rolled out a calendar service a few weeks later.

All of those free programs pose a possible threat to Microsoft, which established itself as the world's largest software maker by selling its Windows operating system and complementary applications that run on the platform.

As Google invades its turf, Microsoft has been mounting its own attack by investing heavily in Internet search.

The New Wal-Mart Testing Machine

One day, in line at the company cafeteria,Joe says to Mike behind him, "My elbow hurts like hell. I guess I'd better see a doctor."

"Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money," Mike replies. "There's a diagnostic computer down at Walmart. Just give it a urine sample and the computer will tell you what's wrong and what to do about it. It takes ten seconds and costs ten dollars . . .A lot cheaper than a doctor."

So, Joe deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to Walmart. He deposits ten dollars, and the computer lights up and asks for the urinesample. He pours the sample into the slot and waits. Ten seconds later, the computer ejects a printout:

"You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy activity. It will improve in two weeks. Thank you for shopping @ Walmart."

That evening, while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Joe began wondering if the computer could be fooled. He mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples from his wife and daughter, and a sperm sample for good measure.

Joe hurries back to Walmart, eager to check the results. He deposits ten dollars, pours in his concoction, and awaits the results. The computer prints the following:

1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. (Aisle 9)

Bwahaha that is priceless!!!

Musicians - I have a question.

A number of you put links to sites where your efforts can be downloaded from for others to listen to and or comment upon.

Many of these I have really liked, others less so (no ctiticism intended, just my personal taste).

I would like to collate some of these into a file on my mp3 player under a title such as 'the Peeps at Talk to Joe'.

I don't want to create something like the T2J CD's, basically just a loose collection of tunes/songs that I like.

So my question is this:

Is this a no no, would you guys be cool with that or not?

Keep rocking everyone
