It cost me $3.50 to see a matinee of Jurassic Park when it came out in 1993. This was not a discount second run theater. The evening shows probably cost $5-7 at most.

I absolutely loathe the sound of an acoustic guitar with a pickup in it. I'd rather not hear the guitar at all than hear that tinny nonsense. Either mic it or just go electric.

Took my six year old to see the Dogman movie and was surprised how good it was. Even my wife thought it was funny, which is saying something.

I'm droolling over MuseHub's Polyspectral MBC for Audacity, but I have to block myself from spending money on every cool thing I see. Maybe in six months I'll drop the fifty bucks on it, because it makes audio sound like butter.

Wow, I haven't recorded any podcast episodes since getting my new computer set up, and realized I didn't have Audacity downloaded.
Man, it has gotten a lot more sophisticated! I need to learn how to use some of this stuff.
