“Turns out CDs melt. So we started shipping USBs” – Ross Mayfield, SocialText
Actually, I’m still surprised more music, movies, software, etc, aren’t sold in USB form.
A while back, I predicted that Apple would be the first to stop shipping computers with optical drives. That’s yet to happen. I still think it will.
In the latest Joyent podcast, Niall Kennedy provides some background on one of the most depressing and creepy songs ever. Actually, I can’t listen to anything off that album any more.
The term “user” has bugged me since I worked at “HannaHodge: User Experience Architects” 8 years back.

Congrats to Mike on passing the Ham Radio license test.
I finished the first listen through the 2007 SXSW Showcasing Artist collection. 87 tracks made the cut to round 2. Just slightly better than Sturgeon’s Law. Round 2 is in progress.
Crap. The word is getting out. Still, the cool thing is…some of you don’t even know you’re enlisted. 😉
Tonight, I hacked together the First Crack Conversation Map. Now when you visit your favorite Dunn Brothers, you can listen to a podcast recorded there.
160 songs to go in my SXSW 2007 Unlistened Songs playlist. Should have some picks for you in the next couple of days.
