Score: Me:1 DRM:0

In addition to spending time this weekend with family, I've also fought a vicious little war with DRM, and won.

Circa early 2007, I bought about five albums from Yahoo's Music service. (Note the operative word there: I *bought* them.) I dutifully burned copies of the songs onto CDs for backup purposes. Or at least I think I did. Maybe.

Whee! Good for you for besting the DRM demons!

I watched The Hurt Locker last night and can honestly say my reaction was that it was impressive that a film without a clear narrative could still be so good. It was much more about character interspersed with some pieces of story, but I wouldn't say it had a coherent story that you could follow throughout without having to fill in a lot of the massive gaps for yourself.

What it is, though, is a film that relies on the intelligence of its audience to tell what story it does tell, and that makes it fairly rare in Hollywood. I'm glad it won, too.
