A New York bartender, musing on how one bypasses serial killing in favor of authorship:
"I don't have a basement, I guess I'll get a typewriter."

Overheard conversation in an airport between a guy who works on the bomb disposal team and another traveler, talking about his work:
You know, it's a lot of fun if you do it right. You just can't make any mistakes.

RIAA bites more hands that feed it 2007
Can they get stupider? Yep.
Do not miss this excellent post by Anil Dash, Holding A Gun To Dick Clark's Head, and the fantastic video included in it from Jay Smooth of hiphopmusic.com
"D.J. Drama does not make counterfeit CDs...What D.J. Drama does is produce an original new CD working directly with the artists to make new original songs and remixes along with some upcoming album tracks sometimes. But, again, he's working directly with the artist on this and at the very least he's working with the tacit approval of the record labels."
Hey, big 5 labels, slapping down your most passionate users and promoters is a damn good way to accelerate the demise of your business, and at this rate ain't no one gonna be sorry to see you go.

Support a cyber cafe in Kenya 2007
I just made another investment through Kiva and I'm really excited about this one. In November of 2005 I visited Nakuru in Kenya while on a tour with Guerba Travel.
I was very pleased, therefore, to see that I could make a microloan to Mr. Samwel Kagotho to help him purchase new equipment for his cybercafe in Nakuru. He's a little over halfway to his goal, so maybe you should consider investing too!
Hooray! The money has been raised! Check the sidebar for another worthy business somewhere around the world that could use your help.

Blog (noun) A weblog or similar brief journal usually containing links and commentary thereon. Term coined by Peter Merholz.
Visit Typepad or Blogger to start your own. (I began with hand coding, then switched to Blogger when it first became available, then to Movable Type when I wanted more control over my weblog and to have it hosted at a place of my choosing (Hurricane Electric). Now I use Typepad, built by the same folks who made Movable Type and I love it).
