Today I joined the most underappreciated goldmine this modern world has to offer: The Public Library. I love to read, yes, but wouldn't touch those nasty-ass library books for anything. Instead I use it for cd's and dvd's.
People say to me, "Cory why don't you just torrent? You have a computer."
I don't understand whats wrong with cd's already; they have better sound quality than an Ipod -I don't know if thats true actually- my car has a cd player and I don't have an Ipod, so that's why I stand by cd's. Plus, my computer works great after 4 years of use and will continue to work great because I don't download music or movies on it.
What I do is basically just as illegal though- on that topic. This past summer I had a daily commute of about 20 minutes each way to my pool. At the beginning of the week I'd rent a dozen cd's from the Monument Public LIbrary and listen to them usually about one per day in my truck in on the way to work. If I liked it I'd put it in my computer at the end of that week.
I am now a card carrying Boulder Public Library member. Torrent sites can kiss my ass- the BPL has everything I need.
