How to fix the music industry
This is just a small idea i had rattling around in my head so i figured i would make it public. The idea is to take some concepts of Creative Commons in order to repair the blood gushing music industry.
The new license for music would be Commercial, Derivative Works with Attribution, Non-Commercial resale.
The idea is the music industry could sell music which then could be used by anyone for mash-ups, youtube videos, creative works but none of those could be sold with out proper license and all the music used in these works would have to be Attributed back to the creators. Basically you would create free advertising in a lot of different forms of media and you would give a lot of freedom to the users.
Radio stations would also be changed under this license allowing for non-commercial radio stations to use commercial music just like the big companies with out being forced into stupid archaic radio license fees. Selling ads or making any money at all with the radio station would put it under the creative license in which case the station would have to pay. This would build up the independently owned online stations getting your music out to even more ears tagged with all the proper attributions.
This new license is a re-imaging of the free use laws already in place but updated a bit for a modern world with emphasis on free advertising and getting the music into the ears of more people who may buy more music.
3 cups 3 balls password system.
3 cups 3 balls password system.
Concept: Here is the basics. 3 tiers of security that changes between 3 “cups” or sources with 3 payloads “balls”. The idea is a almost unbreakable security system that would be infinitely complex but at the same time simple for consumers. The complexity would only be seen in the background.
The 3 “balls” would be 3 different types of algorithm used to encrypt the password. The first would be a math equation that would change by the minute that could only be solved by using the 2nd ball.
Ball number 2 would be a randomly generated number that would change by the minute but off time with the equation so they could not be synced up.
Ball number 3 would be a USB key fob held by the end user that would add the 2nd number to the math equation. This would be very similar to blizzard authenticator. A press of the button on the fob would sync the equation and the 2 numbers creating the random password and unlocking the door.
The trick is that all 3 balls could be sent from 1 of 3 cups. So at no time would you be able to know what ball is under what cup making it almost impossible to trace everything and crack the password the fact everything refreshes on the minute but off time with each other makes it even harder. Software on the server would take the same snapshot as the fob syncing up with it as the other half of the lock. Basically you would be creating the lock and the key at the same time and only at the time would the door open. No databases of passwords to hack because the passwords would not exist until they were needed.
Short of a server side man in the middle which could be scanned and the payload would only last for 1 minute i see no way of breaking this system.
Social Anxiety
Social Anxiety
by Kevin “Shinmaryuu” Money
I don’t walk down the street
and skip to the beat
Of a single rain drop on the lid of bin
Is it such a sin
to realize i find sitting at home alone a treat
I have social anxiety
I live in fear of what is thought of me
I don’t go out in the world you see
I just sit home inside my bad dreams
Worrying about what they will think of me
Ain’t it a shame
fear of fortune and fame
Even if i try and do well
I couldn’t be on tv and sell
for fear i would burst into flame
All social lubricant
and it’s many variant
just are not my thing
even for a one night stand or a fling
Drugs or drink i don’t partake because i am scared of it.
I have social anxiety
I live in fear of what is thought of me
I don’t go out in the world you see
I just sit home inside my bad dreams
Worrying about what they now think of me
Even though it could be debated
history and environment is how i was created
Do those who did this stay up crying nightly?
Not to fucking likely
Why did i deserve to be so hated
Was it because i was fat or a little bit smart
Was it the sweatpants, t-shirts, and love for the arts
My lack of a will to fuck any girl for a thrill
Or partake in the product of granddaddy’s still
I guess i was just different from the start
I have social anxiety
I live in fear of what is thought of me
I don’t go out in the world you see
I just sit home inside my bad dreams
Worrying about what they now think of me
I hide behind a screen on the internet
Take that as you will or judgmentally interpret it
I plead for obscurity scared of fortune and fame
But a small part still exist to perform comedy however lame
Even though i will fear the comments 5 minutes after posting it.
I still have social anxiety
I still live in fear of what is thought of me
I try and go out in the world you see
I fight to bring into reality my dreams
Because freedom is no longer caring what they think of me
Wedding Song (By a un-married guy)
Wedding Song (By a un-married guy)
by Kevin “Shinmaryuu” Money
If i had a cookie
I would twist in two
Half would be for me
and half would be for you.
If i had a Lunchable
i’d break it up in pairs
the crackers and the turkey yours
i’d take the cheese and juice.
I’d share my life with you
every bit would be split
from simple things like bathroom time
to complexities of tv remote use.
I’d share my life with you
If i had a normal life
i would share it with you
take you from the single side
because honey….i would marry you!
We could share it all from riches and fame
The heartbreak and pain would drive us insane
A man and a wife a white picket life
A loving embrace next to a hair plugged shower drain
And sex as well man that would be swell
But i shall not dwell for fear of burning in hell
but wait we are married god is cool with it now
So how about a romp in the sheets after we eat chow.
I’d share my life with you
every bit would be split
from simple things like bathroom time
to complexities of tv remote use.
I’d share my life with you
If i had a normal life
i would share it with you
take you from the single side
because honey….i would marry you!
You know someday i would be bad
I’d romp with your sister or just piss of your dad
You would stop sharing with me
and instead just take….it all….
But that won’t happen yet because i still love you
Even though i am quite concerned with how your looking at me now
Maybe that last verse was not as funny as i thought
I take it back honey your sister is ugly and your dad is more of a man that i ever will be
Oh crap that didn’t make it better…how about a honeymoon in TAHITI!!! YEAH!
People who inspire me
Inspiration can come from many sources in your life and don’t always have to be big to be inspiring. Below is a list of people who inspire me to keep going.
My twitter followers: I joke about this a lot but honestly i love and each and every person i follow on twitter. The jokes, the pick me ups, the help pointing out what i am doing wrong. In the end these are the people i have met here on the internet that i want to socialize with. They are friends and i treat them no different than i would friends IRL.
Dan Brown: Now on revision3 but formally of the youtube channel pogobat this guy proves that someone from Lincoln, Ne can do great things and be intelligent and thought provoking. He inspires me because i was born in Lincoln and now live here 
.
James May: Top Gear star and creator of one of my favorite TV shows ever James May’s Toy Stories. Very intelligent and sophisticated but at the same time whimsical and funny. James is the personality i wish i had.
Tim Minchin: A musical comedian, an atheist, and a skeptic. Honestly i have very little in common with Tim in that i believe there could be a creator and honestly i don’t care for skeptics but there is something about his talent and wit that draws me in and inspires my own creativity. He is proof you don’t have to agree with everything someone says to be inspired by them.
The world: Yup the entire world inspires me everyday. Good or bad what is going on with the world has inspired a lot of my writing. Humanity as a whole fascinates me to no end.
Ultimate Showdown of IPTV Superiority
I wrote this back in 2006 at the height of internet video. I feel it goes well with my recent Revision3 parody video i posted to youtube. I dug this up off google since i actually lost the original copy. Hooray for undying internet bits.

LogOn Project launches
The website project based in many ideas that came together into one major project for Torn Red Sweatpants Productions. The basic concept is a community run nerd/geek blog where all of the posts to the blog are from members of the community itself. I am doing some posting as well.
The site is being built as a safe haven for the nerdiest of the nerdy and the geekiest of the geeky to have a place to hang out and talk with others just like you. From Twilight to World of Warcraft from Transformers to Star Wars nothing is outcast and all is welcome.
Come LogOn to Library of Geekdom Online and let’s have some fun.
144 Friendship
Audio Version: http://www.sxe13.com/144Friendship.mp3
Lyrics:
144 Friendship by Kevin “Shinmaryuu” Money
Scars on my face from 28 years of sorrow and disgrace. At times i fall into a dark place. I regret what i say minutes after clicking ok but i do it anyway. The silent punishment the blade across the skin that leaves no mark. I open my heart and watch as it bleeds upon the floor for all to see. Exposed and wide open a cry out or plea. The last breathless words of a man who can no longer find hope and reason in a world that left him dying in the desert alone.
But am i alone is the question i scream to the light that has washed over me. With my last breath i cry out in pain desperate and shamed. You answer back like the voice of the choir ascending down on me. Your not alone they say as my tears wash away. There are more like you who deal with the same everyday the explain. Stories and emotions laughs and devotions. A friend to the friendless when they need it the most.
I give thanks everyday for the friends i have met in this way. Born in the future a way to communicate with people i have never seen in person. A place to find those who still give a shit about something. To find the miracle that is the people that care about me even if just in some small way. The words that you say 144 characters at a time can change lives and i am living proof.
You hear the same thing long enough you start to believe. I am worthless, garbage, and i don’t belong but i have started to see that 144 at a time they were wrong. Fuck those that hated me back then. Your nothing to me now you hold nothing on me. Your worthless human life wasted on the ignorant. Karma’s a bitch motherfuckers and i hope that you drown in it. To the system that raised me to be this fucking crazy you should fall for what you have created. A generation of outcast kids just like me. Who’s lives are broken if they still have a life to live. It’s you stupid fuckers that killed them. You did nothing and stood by as they got away with torture. Chipped away slowly at the humanity inside of me and turned me into a monster of hate spewed depression and bad dreams. I don’t forget and I’ll never forgive but learn really fucking quick. The power over my life you once held is now dead. Your a bad memory lost in the wind.
I thank till i die the 144 you typed today that made the bad memories that ruled me go away. It’s simple kindness of a few words that burned the books of a bad life time. Friendship is something i don’t have a lot of but i can give it away in spades. You helped me to day and i am now loyal to a fault. If you have a war i am the first enlisted by your side till the end or until we say goodbye. I thank you for being there for me today if only 144 at a time.
This is dedicated to those twitter followers and friends who pull me back up when i am down. It’s nice just knowing someone cares. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Library of Geekdom Online (Alpha stage)
This is a basic outline of a new project i am going to be working on coming up. The project is called Library of Geekdom Online or L.o.G.On for short. Below is the bullet points concept. More will flesh out as the backend is built and the content flows in.
- The front end will be your basic geek blog in the vein of Boing Boing, Engadget, etc but will cover any and all topics that fall under the term geek, nerd, etc with no niche to small. If 1 person will read, watch, or listen it will be posted.
- Strict structure guidelines will be posted for audio, video, and text based submissions to keep the site uniform and content management easy but the content is more open and free form outside a few decency rules.
- The submission process will be as easy as sending an e-mail and you will receive full credit for your work including promotion (non-ad based) links and your name attached to your work.
- The site will be heavily community driven but not in a judgment way like digg but more in a open community way like deviant art and niche subject forums.
- The site will be organized by category with each category containing more that 5 stories getting it’s own forum section for discussion about that topic. The tags of each post will contain the person who submitted it’s name in either a screen name or First.Last Initial. These tags will form a tag cloud that will show the people with the most posts to the site as a form of pride kinda thing .
- The site will be entirely not for profit with all donations being brought in going to hosting costs, new features, contest prizes, and charitable donations made in the name of the community to worthy causes in the geek world like Child’s Play.
- The site will have a master audio podcast feed of all audio submitted to the site as well as a main site feed. Eventually this will expand out into a video podcast feed as well if the site can sustain itself over time.
The idea on it’s own is pretty basic with some infrastructure needing to be built around before the launch. The community aspect will make or break the site in the end but i think this will be a fun big project for Torn Red Sweatpants Productions to take on.
Consider this post as me Kevin Money trademarking the name Library of Geekdom Online as well as L.o.G.On for use on the internet and other media outlets. August 3rd, 2010.
Understanding
Everyone who cares about the real me should read this.
I post a lot of some what cryptic messages on twitter and here on my blog some times. I guess at times i am reaching out for something that is not there. Something i don’t have anywhere else. Understanding…
I have spent the last 23 years of my life under what under the definition of the term has been torture. School beat me down daily under the constant haze of teasing, beating, and down right cruelty under conditions that i basically gave up on the human race as a whole and have a insanely hard time trusting anyone as loyal or kind with out some sort of catch.
My love life is a fucking joke for the most part. Couple girl friends 1 serious but for the most part i have come to realize that no girl in her right mind gives 2 shits about me so i stop giving 2 shits about anyone else. Jaded i know but you get hurt enough you tend to stop healing.
My brain is a mess of jumbled thoughts, very dark depression, social anxiety issues, and bipolar disorder. I was told by my therapist when i was first diagnosed that i was one of the worst cases she had see of social anxiety disorder. That’s a fun thing to hear when your 16.
85-90% of the people like me are dead by their teenage years of suicide or dead soon after from drugs or alcohol. I don’t know why but i take both as weakness and refuse to let this kill me. At the same time i know it’s breaking me.
The simplest things can set me off and drive me down in a very dark place i no longer under stand. I thought i had all of this under control but i guess when you do everything right and nothing changes you tend to get frustrated and beaten down.
I’m sorry to people who don’t understand me and i will understand if you unfollow me from where i post my dribble. No one needs to read what i say but know that i do so not for the people who just think i am some sort of drama queen emo asshole. I do it for people who are like me to understand they are no alone.
I am a simple man, a jokester, a hopeless romantic, and a dreamer but with the cards i have been given i tend to be pretty broken and not a lot of my dreams are going to come true. I live each day like the one before doesn’t exist. Hoping for a better tomorrow….
