I have a big post coming up in the next week or so about the re-ripping of all 500 or so of my CDs, but I wanted to share something i found in the process.  Back towards the end of my college career I took two trips to the Hooray Area.  One was a business trip to NASA Ames’ Research for a team meeting on SOFIA. The other was for a job interview at Be, Inc.

At the time, I owned an early MP3 player which was a portable CD player which could read data CDs filled with MP3s (in addition to old-fashioned CDs).  I created two Album-Mix CDs for these trips, and I thought that some of you might get a kick out of the contents…
