How has technology changed the way you watch movies and listen to music?
Sponsored by LifeScoop: Bringing You Tips for a Connected Lifestyle.Not so much with movies, but I have bought some episodes of NCIS, Bones, and House for my iPod. The only movie I've bought from iTunes is Sneakers. I have it on VHS, but never got it on DVD. I'm sure I could of found it at the bargain bin at Wally World, but I hate that place. Right, wrong, or indifferent, the last few CDs I've bought were used (via Amazon Marketplace). It was cheaper that way. I've never played the CDs, just rip them. Not that I listen to all of it all of the time, but it's nice having 90% of your music with you for those moments when you just got to hear that one song. Speaking of which, I don't know how many CDs I bought just to get that one song. I'm glad those days are over! (Well, mostly over.)
I used to love Last.FM, but I'm finding less and less music where I can listen to the whole track. It's still a great way to discover new stuff.
I still can remember my portable record player (similar to this, minus woody woodpecker) and had a Super Friends record case full of kids music. My second stereo was a hand-me-down that was AM/FM/Record Player, plus 8-Track - I know...SCORE! Actually had the soundtrack to Grease on 8-Track. Do I miss it? Purely as nostalgia. I don't think the current generation is missing out.
I rarely listen to radio anymore too. I mostly download various podcasts for music and news. Sans the iPhone, I've yet seen a phone that's a great MP3 player. I'll probably be old school the rest of my life and have a separate phone/GPS/camera?MP3 player.
What’s your daily Internet "routine?"
Even though I try to shy away from it, I still spend too much time on Facebook. But of course I go through my usual suspects. Below are those sites I hit most often -

What computer accessories and peripherals can't you live without?
Sponsored by WePC.com. Help us make your Dream PC a reality.1) My iPod...hands down.
2) A close second - Digital Photography. I'm not going to tell you how much I spent on developing my film!
3) Wireless internet. Sad but true. I serious doubt I would be on as much as I am if it weren't for wireless.
4) And not really a computer accessory, but in the same spirit - my GPS.
Would you rather have more brains, more beauty, or more bravery?
I consider my self in the above average department when it comes to overall intelligence, and if the cause is just and the quarrel is honorable, I am prepared to give my life. So...I guess I'll be vain and go with more beauty. Still...I'm a horrible speller, so I can just get an upgrade in that?
Have you (or someone you're close to) ever been on television?
Technically, yes. I took Mass Media in high school and for that year, I had various segments on Heath Weekly. Yes, I still have the tapes. And no..you can't watch them! :o)
