CD Shopping
Picked up a bunch of new CDs tonight including: Bishop Allen, Charm School (really outstanding judging by the preview tracks); Deb Talan, Sincerely (all that listening to “Tell Your Story Walking” had me wanting to hear more); Chris Butler, I Feel a Bit Normal Today (natch – see post below this one); Tracy Spuehler, Six…

Starting to See What I Mean?
It seems the sum total of my internal dialog is being scripted by Chris Butler today. Sure, it’s all out of context, but still – I don’t think I’m quite ready to “X” my “BFD-ing”, so I’d like it all to stop please: Stop! Damn! Reverse the wires Switch the ground! Something’s crazy here We’re…

For Shame Universal, For Shame
Dear Universal Studios Home Video: I purchased your Bourne Identity DVD, and I am not happy. You have locked the disk so that I can’t fast forward past your coming attractions trailers. You’ve now made it less likely that I will ever buy another Universal Studios DVD. If I do buy another Universal Studios DVD,…

Growth of a Nation
Cool, primitive graphics, but still wicked cool. How come we didn’t have interactive maps and timelines like this when I was struggling through social studies/history in high school? I should have loved history in school. It should have been all conceptual, but it wasn’t it was just meaningless dates. I’m not sure high school educators…

On the Differences Between Actual and “Intellectual” Property
Excellent post on why actual property and “intellectual property” are very different and should be treated as such. For some reason, a lot of people have grown to equate them as being the same which leads to all kinds of bad laws and effects. The post actually quotes Rand of all people. I mentioned Rand…
