Whew!
I'm officially on vacation. I'm looking forward to BloggerCon tommorow, from which I'll provide updates and then it's off to a tropical island. For a week or so blogging will be sporidac, and dependant upon finding a connection.

Pecking order:
Rockin in the Free World:
This Wired article on musicians and technology makes me think that it will be sooner rather than later that the record companies will get out of the distribution business and become just advertising agencies for musicians.
Good for the gander:
A long time partisan shows that she has principals. Here's Susan Estrich on the Schwarzenegger allegations.

Quite an education:
MIT's courses are now available for free online. The idea is to "Provide free, searchable, access to MIT's course materials for educators, students, and self-learners around the world."
Here's one course that might be interesting, Technology in a Dangerous World.
Creative or crazy:
Scientists seem to be onto something here. Creative people may be just a few IQ points from being mad.
A serious issue:
Forget politics, what can really get people worked up is coffee. I don’t want to get into it here, but I’ve always found that what Dunkin Doughnuts coffee lacked in quality was made up for in consistency and freshness. There is certainly better coffee out there, but I’ll take Dunkin’s coffee over a better quality coffee that has been sitting in one of those big pump thermos things for six hours, any day.
What brought this up is the news that DD is now going to offer espresso. I like an afternoon double, but most places make crappy espresso. Even Starbucks is uneven. It’s slightly possibility that DD will make a good cup of espresso. But at the very least, it’s one more choice.
