I’d pay $299 for an iPhone…
just to have the ability to pay $.99 for this: http://www.ledfootball.com/
RIAA strikes again
Muxtape’s are down.
Message on mine:
Muxtape will be unavailable for a brief period while we sort out a problem with the RIAA.
From their blog:
No artists or labels have complained. The site is not closed indefinitely. Stay tuned.
Beta users of Muxtape For Bands: you are unaffected by this outage.
The RIAA is in the process of putting music/artists in a bad position. They might want to re-think the way they do business. Their model is losing fans quickly.
Forgive my tardiness.
I’ve been promising a short write-up on RSS and its usefulness for a while. I actually did one for another blog about a month ago an instead of re-writing the whole thing I’ll just steal my own content:
The way we read/view/see the Internet is changing. As we move more and more of our information consumption time to the net (news, business, contacts, blogs, videos, music) we can find that we become overwhelmed and tired of chasing it all down.
I alone have accounts for multiple subscription sites including 30 or so blogs I read, digg, lifehacker, muxtape, vimeo, flickr, and the list goes on and on. Information overload to say the least. Please welcome, RSS.
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is quickly becoming the way I, many others, and ultimately you should devour the net. It takes the work out of visiting your favorite sites to see their updates. No more do you have to keep a long list of Favorites or Bookmarks just to keep up with your daily content.
Easy to set up, and even easier to use, RSS Readers will go and find the stuff you want on the Internet and bring it to you when it becomes available.

One Laptop Per Child (XO $100 laptop)
More info: http://laptop.org/
Interesting idea. Years in the making. You have until December 31st to participate in their ‘give one, get one’ project. Cost to participate is $400 but after watching this idea for a while I think it is a worthy cause. Don’t need one of your own? You can donate one by itself for $200.
The laptops are created from start to finish for about $100. Granted, they aren’t going to be anything that we’re accustomed to but for children who haven’t ever sat in front of a computer it should be great.
Cameron just got his and posted some pictures of he and his boys opening it up.
Anybody wanna split one with me?
