Virtue

August 8, 2008 at 7:25 am

항상 사람들과 일을하면서 잊지 말아야하는 virtue가 있다. 내가 잘 하지 못하고 아직 많은 노력이 분야이다. 바로 humility이다. 나의 주장을 펼치고 싶은 욕망, 잘못된점을 지적하고 싶은 나의 마음을 콘트롤 해야만 하지만 너무나도 어렵다. 잠시만이라도 2~3번 정도 씹어 생각해보면 하지 않아도 되는 말들을 생각없이 던질때가 많다.

아직 내 안엔 디모데가 너무나도 많다.

Tim, just…

Music industry is dumb

May 11, 2008 at 5:59 pm

So today I was watching an episode of House. As its ending song they played “Gravity” by John Mayer. I really liked it. It really captured the rainy weather and mood that I was in.

Hoping to purchase the music, I hopped over to Amazon. Yes, Amazon, not iTunes. I hate Apple’s Fair Play DRM crap. Anyways, of course Amazon didn’t carry that song. (I love how Amazon sells their music without DRM but they never have the music that I want!!!)

So I hopped over to iTunes to see if they had a DRM free version of the song. Of course they didn’t. They had a DRM ridden version of the song, but I wasn’t gonna pay 99 cents for a song that doesn’t give me the freedom to listen anyway I want.

Finally, remembering that Yahoo! sells DRM free songs, I hopped over to music.yahoo.com. But of course you need a special player to buy their songs. Reluctantly, I’ve decided to try their Yahoo! Music Jukebox. Funny, it didn’t work, because it only supports Windows!

So I ended up downloading it from the pirate bay… -_-;;

As much as I hate to do it, but it’s almost as if Music publishers WANT me to pirate their music. I’m sitting here waving my credit card at them hoping to buy a song but “no~ we are not going to let you buy our music comfortably nor accessibly!”. All because they think I’m a thief.

Well, until you guys get your act together, I guess I will be a thief.*

*Don’t worry, I’ll go buy the CD when I get a chance.

Glenn Gould’s 1981 recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations, one of the most amazing performances ever recorded. [buy it from amazon]

Evil

April 30, 2008 at 2:53 am

Alcohol in the 20s
Comics in the 30s
Swing in the 40s
TV in the 50s
Rock and Roll in the 60s
Drugs in the 70s
MTV in the 80s
Gangster Rap in the 90s
Video Games in the 2000s

What next? YouTube?

I guess every generation need something to blame…

쟁반 노래방

April 20, 2008 at 12:10 am

So tomorrow at our church, we decided to play a little game called 쟁반 노래방. To do so, we need some recordings of songs and its MR. And those songs need to be certain length or certain parts.

Instead of trying to find the right one for the job, I decided to just mix and record the songs myself. All the arrangement, mix, and recordings were done 100% my me. But you can take it and do whatever you want.

Enjoy!

찬송가 9장 - 거룩 거룩 거룩 (1절, 2절)

찬송가 88장 - 내 진정 사모하는 (2절)

주를 향한 나의 사랑을 (1절)

Praise for the Fountain Opened

March 20, 2008 at 5:10 pm

- by 4him

William Cowper

There is a fountain filled with blood
drawn from Emmanuel’s veins;
and sinners plunged beneath that flood
lose all their guilty stains.

The dying thief rejoiced to see
that fountain in his day;
And there may I, though vile as he,
wash all my sins away.

Ever since, by faith, I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme
and shall be till I die.

- William Cowper
