In October of last year I found myself watching the Australian film, The Dish. The Dish revolves around the loosely truthful story of how the Parkes Radio Telescope in Australia helped transmit Neil Armstrong's first steps on the Moon.

Phil Shapiro is an icon on the local music scene.

I have a rather unique/moderate opinion on the subject of MP3 file-sharing. I don't consider it theft. I consider it revenge. Everyone knows that the music-CD cartel has been ripping off the consumer for years.

According to Wired Magazine, file-sharing activity has not gone down since the demise of Napster.
