I was listening to the radio on the way back from lunch, heard a song on Sirius featuring a throw away line that made me think about all the songs that reference technology and quickly become champions of the obsolete. So hear here, without further adieu, is a list of ten such songs, and the
A little over a month ago a friend emailed me a link to this post jumping into the ongoing discussion of the content industry’s evolving business models. The author, David Lowery, was formerly involved with Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven. He is an accomplished musician and takes issue
I’m hearing a lot of people make the comparison of cybersecurity legislation’s coming fate and the beat down that was taken recently by SOPA/PIPA (two pieces of legislation meant to strengthen protections for intellectual property – and mainly championed by the movie industry).

For Christmas, Santa brought my son a video game called Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure. The game, aimed at 8-12 year olds, is amusing to play and T2 and I have spent a fair amount of time blasting our way through the Skylander universe.

So President Obama is in Denver today talking about how to ease student loan debt. In yet another example of the politics of big government, he’s expected to reduce the amount students would have to pay per year (implementing a cap at 10% of salary) and push for forgiveness of debt at 20 years
