  1. BBC NEWS | Entertainment | The golden age of infinite music Interesting article, pondering on the change from a situation of Artificial scarcity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia to a completely infinite online jukebox, where the limiting resource is no longer your money (or lack of it), but your time. Given that you could listen to "anything ever recorded", what would drive your selection process? Familiarity? peer pressure? marketing? social networking?, statistical patterns? "Other people who listened to this, also listened to ..." Indeed, when faced with The Tyranny of Choice: Scientific American do you yearn for a benevolent celstial DJ? Charlie Brooker | There's too much stuff. We live in a stuff-a-lanche. It's time for a cultural diet | Comment is free | The Guardian Other people have had similar thoughts About us | Music, Movie & Web Video Discovery | The Filter Peter Gabriel's The Filter - scrobbling your life | Media | guardian.co.uk "Freedom from choice"?
  2. Today (technically) stayed up late/early to go next door to the neighbors for the worldwide premier launch party of the "Bushy Report" on Marin Cable, channel 26. So now Joanne and I are unwitting media celebrities, or would be if anyone, other than those involved in the production were watching! Earlier in the week, helped set up email, blog (Bushy Report) and YouTube Chanel (YouTube - BushyReport's Channel) for the above, which now hosts the initial episode, in parts, since it has aired. We even get some repeats this afternoon and tomorrow, to prove that this wasn't all a Halloween nightmare.
  3. It's a vampire kitty?

  7. How active is the craigslist/furniture section in your local community? occasionally some salamander stuff turns up in the A/V section (or use the search craigslist/for sale box) Viewing/delivery can eat into any potential savings, but you never know..
  8. At a B+M . Curiously, cheaper than a lot of online places.

    You know that's from Later With Jools Holland S35E04 available in 720p HDTV if you know how to use the net
  21. And you wouldn't want to risk those bits by using plebian non-ECC RAM? Only the best ECC for your precious-es.

  24. So do I take it this means that there is no QA testing to ensure built units measure in spec (what ever that even is)?, or listening tests to check for defects? Sennheiser, manage FR plots tied to individual Serial numbers on the HD-800's.
  25. surely it's. and I'll stop calling you Shirley.
