Give me back my scrubs and weeds…

As of 6:05 Eastern Standard Time the Writers Guild of America has ended there several month struggle with the major media companies. This is pretty good news. I don’t know how necessarily politically relevant this whole ordeal is, but I like to think that this has some political undertones to it. California’s economy and state laws deal directly with the entertainment industry, it’s just the way it works. This industry makes money, alot of money, a ridiculously obscenely large amount of money. With all that money flying around it definitely influences the political landscape. I may just be rambling now but the truth is I don’t really have a clear picture of what I want this blog to be about. I was thinking about doing the business/political aspect of the record industry (i.e. the RIAA suing people for illegal downloading, independent music as being redefined by Radiohead, Madonna, and The Format). I think that would be a kosher topic, although I’m not entirely sure. To be honest, I’m not entirely sure I know what I have to do for class tomorrow. Such is life. I guess what I’m really happy about is I get my T.V. shows back, although I have to wait till July anyways for Weeds. In other news: I’m am intently watching this auction with all hopes that google gets there hands on it. Although it looks like Verizon might take it, the 700Mhz spectrum is something that will completely upgrade the countries data services. It spans all 50 states and provides a virtual blanket of coverage over the continental 48. The cool thing about this auction is that the FCC placed a reserve on the blind bidding. Once the reserve bid was reached it would enact certain provincial stipulations governing the new spectrum; there is an open devices and open applications provision placed on it that basically means that any device can be used off of the 700Mhz spectrum, as well as any software developed for use on the newly vacant chunk of digital beach front property has to be able to be utilized by any device utilizing the 700Mhz spectrum. While Verizon will probably come down with it in the end this still doesn’t give me the 3G wireless that I am craving for right now anyways. Blah, owell. Hopefully I can sort this all out tomorrow in class and actually get credit for what, well what I feel, is a pretty damn good first blog post.
