Master of Puppets

I had an assignment earlier today involving Mac Pros. Considering that I’d be having some travelling and waiting, I decided to bring some music with me. At home I went through my collections and picked up one CD that I haven’t touched in a long time, physically. Yeah, thanks to the convenience of digital music, in the cloud. I loaded the CD in my computer and, well, you can guest the rest.

Metallica - Master of Puppets

It’s Metallica’s 1986 seminal record Master of Puppets. I actually listened to the whole record from beginning to finish, without skipping a single second. That’s the whole 54 minutes and 46 seconds of musical bliss, to me.

Anchorman: KTVU

I really thought today was April 1 when I read about the KTVU gaffe on Asiana Airlines Pilot names. Only after KTVU issued an apology, I realized that it did happened.

So, not a single person at KTVU thought that there’s something wrong (pun intended) with the names before they aired it?

Ron Burgundy knows how it feels, he only read what’s on the teleprompter.
