Hi Beautiful,
iTunes has lots of good movies to buy and legally download but until they have all the movies we have to use bittorrent to download our movies.
Here’s a little intro:
a torrent file is a small file called something like greatmovie.torrent and its about 20k in size and downloads in an instant. it contains locations around the interweb where copies of another file, usually greatmovie.avi, exist.
Once you grab greatmovie.torrent and save it to your desktop, you open the torrentfile with a program that can go to these remote parts of the interwweb and grab that movie file greatmovie.avi
Bittorrent users account for less than 15% of users (geeks like me) but they use 50% of the total bandwidth of the internet, thats how many movies are zipping around the web!
sites that have torrent files are usually seedy places with lots of ads for hot girls, vicodin and free ipods but if you ignore all these ads, you can find torrent files for anything of your choosing, legal downloads like bands who choose to use bittorrent to distribute their songs (e.g. Kleptones) and grey area downloads like movies that aren’t available in stores (Star Wars 3 was on bittorrent a week before it hit movie theaters)
The best program to manage your torrents on Mac OS X is Transmission, and μtorrent (or utorrent but pronounced mew-torrent). μtorrent is free, has no spyware or ads, doesn’t use up your computers resources like Azureus(the most popular bittorent client) but is really skinny and has no extra features, I still recommend it as the only torrent client for windows 
The very best torrent site (as in philosophy and less advertising) is http://piratebay.org but the best torrent site(for amount of content and nice search features like sort by seeders(seeders are bittorrent sources with the full file) as opposed to leechers(users with only a piece of the file)) is http://torrentportal.com
With this guide you can now go and find the torrentfile you need, download it to your desktop, get your bittorrent client installed and then drop that torrent file into your bittorrent client program, wait anything from an hour to overnight and you’ll have the movie or album you’re looking for.
Don’t forget to send a check to the director or producer of whatever you downloaded to keep your karma in check!
Update: μtorrent now has a Web User Interface! allowing you to queue up downloads while at the office to download to your Mac or Pc at home!
How come all these polyamourous people look a little off center? like this couple of couples below from this San Francisco Article, the two women are in their fifties and the two guys are in their thirties and the one on the left is straight out of COPS and the one on the right is out of … well? Comments? 
From our discussion earlier, we agree that being secure in a relationship allows openness to sexual experimentation with third (or fourth parties), this theory is confirmed by a quite smart Nurse/Counselor called Kathy Labriola and she discusses lots of interesting points on her site but spends an entire page on ‘MANAGING JEALOUSY IN OPEN RELATIONSHIPS’ and explains in the second paragraph that
“Jealousy is about fear–fear of the unknown and of change, fear of losing power or control in a relationship, fear of scarcity and of loss, and fear of abandonment. It is a reflection of our own insecurity about our worthiness, anxiety about being adequate as a lover, and doubts about our desirability.”
Henceforth, a secure enough person or persons will be able to manage their fears or hopefully have no fears at all and in these circumstances, the relationship is then strong enough to endure openness. Kathy goes on to explain that in a lot of cases she’s dealt with, one of the couple had insecurities about another aspect of their lives and that the affair or indulgence that the partner engaged in was only a trigger that upset the insecure person.
Its quite a subject to understand and rests on the security of individuals in relationships, of course greater security and confidence are almost always good things in any adventure we embark upon, so the main lesson is to be strong, believe in yourself, conquer your fears and live each darn day!
This ad gets me excited about using a phone again!
Oscars last night (which I missed because (a)they go on forever,snooze and (b)the directv was down) came with a nice surprise Apple’s new iPhone ad I loved it when I saw it this morning, and I think my favorite part is “how you doin” and maybe Mr Incredible, but John Gruber pointed out that ‘Boogie Nights’ is in there too!
Some call me a ‘joiner’, and I guess it’s true, I joined myspace, friendster in the past. Joined flickr (for very good reasons), joined zooomr (for pretty good reasons), but today after reading 43folders.com, I noticed Merlin Mann had set up a tumblelog and browsed tumblr.net, it looks like a great site and method for tumblelogging and signed up over there, tumblelogging is apparently a more casual and informal way of blogging, who knew it could get MORE casual than a blog? But it IS very nice for posting quotes, pictures, conversations and videos to. Following on from tumblr, I discovered vox.com, which seems to be VERY similar to livejournal, but I signed up there too. So I’ve got this blog, Brendan’s Vox page and tumblebrendan. And what does all this do? Just increase web presence. But isn’t that what it’s all about
I’ve been enjoying Miso soup the last few days and I love it, I had some noodles early on in the making so they get nice and soft and I drop some chopped Pak Choi in just a few seconds before taking it off the stove, delicious! Here’s a recipe.
