“CODAMAGGER” - 53:08 / 48.9 MB - Frank in NYC in the morning. Working on the OnsugBox, feeling like it’s back to square one, decade naming, 3D movies, “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”, drugs, Times Square, absinthe, dream (“Band Member and Future Shop”), La Roux, The Lava Children, Jean-Luc Ponty “Tchokola”, the situation post-Overnightscape, branding, marketing, haircut problem, the bald look, idea for a new brand called “Codamagger”, motorcycles, whiskey, power tools, tattoos, bars, hard rock, beer, casinos, weapons, and blackjacks.
I might pick up a flash drive for the Onsug Box. My hard drive is only 74 gigs, and bandwidth is currently limited to 10 gig/month, so a torrent is out of the question!
As for decade naming, I just use “the 2000’s” to describe this decade, and “the 2000-tens” or “the twenty-tens” to describe the next one. That doesn’t really work for the decade after that, “the twenty-twenties” just kind of sounds stupid…
I think the market segment you were having trouble naming might be “Nascar Dads”.
10GB a month? that’s rough… I know a lot of people have bandwidth caps… so downloading and seeding an 80GB torrent would be impossible…
Right now, a 16GB flash drive (for the “lite” version of OnsugBox) would be about $30… with prices dropping all the time. I’m sure an 80GB flash drive for $30 can’t be far off…
I think you’re right – this decade can just called the 2000s… but the next one is trickier…
