[X] Mark (view Henry's profile)
Name: Mark Akaky
Age: 24
Hometown: London, England
Current Residence: NYC
Job: Professional Blogger
A little bit about me: One year ago I was sitting in a posh office in downtown London, about to start my life in the business world. And then catastrophe struck: I downloaded an MP3 onto my computer at work. Harmless, don't you think? Two days later I found myself fired, fined, and jailed. Collateral damage of the digital age.
So here I am, living to New York City with my childhood friend Henry, making a go of it in the blogosphere. Enjoy the posts, and feel free to drop me a line!

A little bit about me: Hello, Internet! It's me, Henry Scott. You've probably heard of me. If not, here's a primer. I've been a stand-up comedian in London for the past few years, before I realized my true calling: blogging. I didn't like the comedy world much anyway. Too many agents. I hate agents. In November 2005 me and my best buddy Mark packed up for New York City, and here we are, proud parents of BathTubYoga. What else? I like Ginkgo Biloba and Ginseng, and women love me.

That settles it. I will be sitting by my computer, hand on my mouse, anxiously watching the countdown to one billion songs sold on iTunes. And I will attempt to buy the billionth song.
Apple is offering the following promotion: the buyer of the billionth song on iTunes wins a 20-inch iMac, 10 60GB iPods, and a $10,000 iTunes Music Card. Yes, TEN 60gb iPods. What the hell am I going to do with ten iPods? Most bloggers are suggesting that the winner give the iPods away as gifts. Screw that. My plan is to walk around with iPods strapped to every part of my body and listen to ten songs at once. And then get mugged, almost immediately.
And here's the best part: on the Apple website you can see, in real-time, the number of songs that have been bought. So you can time your purchase to maximize your chances.

There is also a Widget for your Mac desktop that lets you see how many songs have been bought in real-time (link via gadgetell). So watch closely, and try to time that purchase perfectly. The buyer of every 100,000th song also gets a prize... a 4gb Nano and a $100 iTunes music card. These are awesome prizes (although I wouldn't mind if the prize was an iPod-compatible BMW, as adfreak recommends).
And in tangential news, iTunes now carries TV shows from Showtime. You can stop holding your breath.
