the last time i read the mp3.com bulletin boards was over two years ago (i think). it sure has grown in discussion topics. i remember when there were big long threads about xing vs franhaueser (now moved to the encoders section). michael’s minutes have also really matured. i find myself nodding to the majority of the comments posted.

wow. there are currently 181 items in my amazon wishlist now. it’s too bad for them that their still at it w/ the whole patent thing. also, i think i’m onto their secret plan with their dual tab menu. they’re going to make the current design so ugly that we’ll be happy when they switch completely to that white / cerulean design that made people violently ill at the end of last year (and that they’ve been determinedly forcing in).
whoa neat, mp3lit.com has all kinds of neat free spoken word, including noam chomsky, j.r.r. tolkien and tons of other neat people/pieces. they’re mostly excerpts, but still way cool. (via randomwalks).
they have a new one. waasssaaaaa
When you compose an argument using hyperlinks, it’s unnatural to speak of on logical progressions from A to B to C. When your statements are linked not only to the statements of other people but also to all their ramifications, there is no way that you can insist on intellectual property rights. There’s only an intellectual process. And somewhere in that process, hierarchy loses its power.
netscape has put up their standards challenge.
my goodness that’s ugly.
i find myself constantly wishing for more hours in the day.
wow, there’s so much good stuff on camworld today. just thought i’d mention it.
i’ve been reading some more of ray kurzweil’s age of spiritual machines, which i started the end of last year but never got a chance to finish. i’m especially amused with his supplementary section on how to build and intelligent machine in three easy paradigms.
anyway, a good diversion from the market madness going on. like no one knew what was going to happen. some interesting conversations going on at /. right now (threshold 3).
