Another calibre type project...

Like I needed one!  Oh well.  I'm in the process of being multi-operating-system educated, *laugh*.   I'm now dual booting Mac and Windows 7, trying to get some experience with Mac.  I do like it, I have to admit.  And amazingly enough, one of the things I really, really like is....wait for it.... are you sitting down?....is iTunes.  
That program is almost universally reviled, as far as one can tell from reading forum posts and Facebook posts, and even I hated it the first few times I tried to use it.  But I have to say that for pure music organization, it's very nice.
This brings me to the project part.... I have an extensive music collection, spread across country, new age, pop, soundtracks, and a few other miscellaneous things.  Right now I have it sorted by genre/artist/album.  Well, I started putting it into iTunes and discovered that it's actually a LOT like calibre in it's sorting capabilities, and it gives me the chance to straighten out my ID3 tags pretty close to in bulk.  I have to of course straighten out song titles individually - but let's say I have a folder of songs that I got individually that make up an album.  I can select them all, and then group them by album.  I can also make groups of singles, like with the iTunes tracks from the Glee episodes that don't appear on the Glee albums.  
So now I'm in the process of adding this extensive music collection to iTunes and straightening out track names and album names.... and enjoying it.
The older I get the more OCD I get about file organization, I guess.  Anyway, at the moment I have all my Glee stuff added, plus singles, and have started on my country collection, which is probably  my most extensive.

Get over it already

I normally don't do politics, but I am so disgusted right now.  Number one:  President Obama was born in the U.S.  Definitive proof has been provided, so get over it already.  Like him or hate him, he is just as American as I am.
Of course to some of the conspiracy wingnuts out there, there is no such thing as definitive proof, which brings me to number two:  Osama Bin Laden is dead.  Oh, wait, you didn't see a body?  What were they supposed to do, parade him around the country?  DNA and pictures aren't enough for you?  Get over it already.
No, Osama's death doesn't mean peace.  Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups are like the mythical Hydra. Cut off one head and multiple others appear.  There will assuredly be repercussions, though they may be prevented. 
Dancing in the streets was in bad taste, you say?   Get over it already.  The people left behind when nearly 3000 of their loved ones were killed in 2001 have the right to dance in the streets at the news that the mastermind behind that tragedy was killed.  Besides all that.. it's over, it has been done, and you can't change that now by whining and moaning.  Get over it already.
