What’s going on today?

News items while I wonder when Blogtrack will be back online, and wait for Dave Winer to get better and back to blogging:

Put a fork in AudioGalaxy, they’re done, to no one’s surprise I would think.

Today’s the day that The Library of Congress is set to decide Internet Radio royalty rates. Let’s hope he comes up with something that will keep the business healthy instead of limiting it to just big media corporations, a la broadcast radio.

NPR tries to explain it’s linking policy. And does a very poor job at that! How did this guy ever get his job?

My favorite quote for today from Dane Carlson:

This last month, I’ve gotten used to getting up before dawn for World Cup matches but for the last two days there haven’t been any. Now, I just sit in the quiet of the early morning and whispher “Goal!” -Oh the mental image is too funny!

Now if I only had anything remotely interesting to work on today, I’d be a happy camper. Oh well, maybe it’s time to shut the office door and do some reading. (Ahh summer, the time of year when the average amount of solitaire playing throughout the office quadruples!)

    I didn’t get to the top and raise my hands though, too many people around. 🙂 Anyway, photos from our trip to Philadelphia are up. You can see my Philly gallery here, while I simply added a new batch to the existing New York gallery from our little side trip there. There’s also various “extras”,…

    Funny article today, Which Is Buggier – Windows or Linux?. Funny not because it reaches any real conclusions about the question, but funny in that the conclusion it does reach is “it depends”. It depends on what you’re using the PC for, who’s using it, what sort of environment you’re working in, and about a…

    Just a quick note to people who do trade show booths. Yeah the show is close to halloween and all that, and yeah I could see where maybe you think giving out candy instead of the usual trade show stuff would be cute and different, but it’s not! We love the stupid little toys and…

    Things had been running so smoothly around here lately that I was actually beginning to think that when I do decide it’s time to leave, (probably next year, I get fully vested in the pension at the end of this year) it probably won’t be too big a deal. Then yesterday afternoon happened, and I…
