Make some noise for NoiseTrade.com

Just_Pete – your “indie music sweetheart (TM)” (yes I do believe that is his full name :-)) tipped me off to NoiseTrade.com today via Twitter.

The site appears to be a project of Derek Webb and allows users to download albums for free – by sharing emails with 3 friends – or by paying for the albums at whatever price you deem fit. I love it! I’ve always said/thought that “Christian music” should be open source – in fact I’m a pretty strong believer that everything “Christian” should be open source/creative commons – but that’s for another time and another discussion.

Either way – check it out!

From the site:

Some artists have good music they’re willing to give away in exchange for a little help. Some fans have a few bucks or a few friends who’d love to hear about good, free music.
Sounds like a match made in heaven.

Going-ons

Well we’re home resting today. Laurie gave us a bit of a scare yesterday after she passed out at the doctor’s office and fell, hitting her head in the process.

We spent most of yesterday in the ER at Baylor Dallas. We started out waiting and waiting, had an MRI, waited, waited and waited. Then she had a CT scan, a few X-rays and then another CT scan. We finally got some clear results nearly 12 hours after she was admitted.

The MRI showed a possible micro fracture in her t-spine, so that’s what led to the additional CT scans and X-Rays. The additional tests didn’t seem to back that idea up so they finally released her and told her to take it easy the next couple days and see a doctor for a followup. I’m guessing its more of a neck and upper back sprain than anything else.

So today she’s resting/napping and I’m at home with her to help out however and whenever I can. Here’s to hoping the pain goes away soon and/or the pain pills start kicking in better… at least she’s no longer wearing that C-Collar they had her in all day yesterday.

In the meantime…

Stranger in a Strange Land is getting a massage today.

You may see some funny things if you visit the site throughout the day. We hope to be back refreshed and better than ever by the end of the day. Thanks for your patience.
