The Washington Post has quite an amusing article about Steve. The author, Bob Thompson, went to Steve’s apartment angry about the book and you can see Bob trying to dislike him. But, as all who have met Steve know, that just isn’t possible.
Scott’s blog covers the effect of tech on cinema (and more). He’s writing a book on this subject. His most recent post is a chat with the CEO of NetFlix after the Supreme triumph of the forces of cultural repression. (Ok, I may be skewing it a bit.) [Technorati tags: ScottKirsner movies]
A friend and coworker from my days at Open Text tells a story about a fine day walking through Manhattan with her boss Tim Bray, drinking some beer and maybe a bit too much single malt Scotch. And that’s just the beginning. [Technorati tags: Postmodern Sass TimBray Bosses]
Dan muses that the new media are actually tools, unlike the old media which were and are media. You could quibble with Dan that blogging software is to blogs and wiki software is to wikis as studios are to TV, i.e., that there are tools involved in all these cases. But then you’d be missing Dan’s point, which is not a quibble but quite a big one. To me, Dan is presenting the analog to the argument that the Internet is primarily about voices and conversations. Of course, I would think that since it fits nicely with the “argument” I made at all three presentations I gave over the past two days that blogs are not media.
In the course of this post, Dan writes:
In an interview with Larry Magid on ITConversations, RealNetwork’s Rob Glaser said [at minute 2:45] that in a given month over 90% of Rhapsody’s one million songs are played at least once and the top 100 songs make up only 1% of the listens.
Wow. [Technorati tags: DanBricklin media rhapsody]
