For Talk Like a Pirate Day, I wore my Napster t-shirt.
Perhaps it was too subtle. Most people didn’t get it.

All you readers of my blog out there in Internet-land…. I have an announcement to make.
In order to celebrate International Talk Like A Pirate Day and our new house, we are going to have a Talk Like a Pirate Open House party-like thing tomorrow. I’d like to open up the invitation to all of my loyal blog readers. So give a shout out (comment) if you want to come.
Sept. 19th from 4pm to 7pm. Snacks will be provided.
Oh, and ladies: rumor has it Lem might be there. No promises tho’.
Just like Magic

Saw this on Slashdot:
Software is better than just that. It’s a miracle commodity:
It’s copyrightable like a book.
It’s patentable like a mouse trap.
It can hold trade secrets, like a glass of Coca Cola.
The consumer has to “sign” a contract to use it, like a cellphone account.
Advertising pitches can be included for a captive audience, just like a movie theater.
It’s artificially expensive, like a diamond.
It’s a recurring source of support revenue, like a lawn service.
It’s creator can disavow all liability for anything that may go wrong, and get away with it, like… I can’t think of anything else like that!
Amazing.
DRM? What

I just made my first few purchases from the iTunes music store:
- Crazy Train (live)
- Ring of Fire (by Johnny Cash, covered by Social Distortion
- Rock around the Clock
- Smoke on the Water (live)
- I thought you were my Boyfriend Single by the Magnetic Fields (3 songs: 49 cents!)
- Float on by Modest Mouse
Of course, I immediately burned it to CD and re-ripped it as MP3. Screw fidelity—it’s security I care most about. No way I’m trusting my purchases to a format I ultimately have no control over.
Despite that one minor inconvenience, overall a superb experience.
I have a feeling this could get addictive.
