Here is the blip.tv page (with embedded player; just click through to listen), and direct MP3 download link for the February 5th episode. A quick chat on the primary elections today, and then a rant on my thoughts about Microsoft’s Yahoo bid. Links: SAI on a better way for Microsoft-Yahoo to work ma.gnolia (my links) […]
I just want to go on record with this…I’m holding off on my machinima experimentation for now. I have some cool ideas…but I have too many cool ideas right now! Some coding, some blogging, some writing, and machinima to boot. The deciding factor is that all the others are, at their core, text, while machinima […]
(A Million Flowers post) Magnatune: To be honest, Magnatune probably should have been my first example, but I think I had Amie Street on the brain the other day. (that’s not a crack against Amie Street, though…heck, I think I’ll just shut up about this now. I like ’em both). Magnatune is pretty much the […]
Glenn Greenwald, among others, is keeping close track of Harry Reid’s kowtow to the security bogeyman by backing retroactive FISA immunity. Many people (including myself) are honestly wondering if someone’s got Pictures Of Something They Shouldn’t…Reid is so dead-set on pushing this through for Bush that he’s making Senator Dodd and the others who want […]
Let A Million Flowers Bloom: It is absolutely fascinating to watch the dinosaurs of old media, the weasel-quick proto-mammals of the new Net media, and their Frankenstein zombie children cavort about. I love it. This is such an interesting and exciting time to be involved in watching or creating media. Movies, music, books, new formats; […]
For those of you who think I’ve completely lost the whole libertarian mojo, consider my response to King County Housing Authority to start smoking ban…which is…WTF??? (yeah, yeah, it’s public housing, blah, blah. I hope that’s not anyone’s defence who approves of this, because these people CLEARLY do not want to stop.) Thanks to The […]
I haven’t said anything about the torture revelations because, well…it hurts to think about it. Unfortunately, I’m completely unsurprised that we not only did it, not only destroyed evidence of it, but did so when under DIRECT judicial order not to do so…and even so, it’s not the knowledge of the incidents that hurts the […]
Holy crap…I hate it when I let this stuff slip through. I had heard a bit about HR 1955 – Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007, but I hadn’t read enough about it; and then it goes and passes the House 404 – 6. Yowch. One can, in a sense, look at […]
A Good Album is More than Just a Collection of Singles — Did consumers complain? Maybe so. But at what point does any business care when a consumer complains about the money? Why do people not care how we – the people who make music – eat? If they just want the single, they gotta […]
Steve Borsch has a great post up on the wiretapping issue, and a link to an advocacy site that I wasn’t aware of: StopTheSpying. Check it out, and make some calls! Thanks for the link, Steve/ Posting this made me realize that I haven’t done all that much long-form political posting recently; I’ve thrown up […]
