Reflections along the way.
Built on a from Mozilla cross-platform, Songbird offers a great media alternative for pc, mac and linux alike. I’m testing the .2 preview today, and take a test drive yourself.

Update: I’m lovin’ it!!! It’s a music player and a browser: not to mention a media search center, social networking portal and a floor wax!
Tate Modern Museum unveiled a new art installation. Slides for adults. If they add the ladders, everything will be complete! (via Artkrush)
Universal starts legal games against video sites with lawsuits against grouper and bolt. Well at least their not suing some 12-year-old girl.
It’s official, the United States is full of Internet Addicts. Yipes! I think I better spend a few hours googling that.
Every act should be performed as though all eternity depended on it.
– Franz Rosenzweig
“… all the really good ideas I ever had came to me while I was milking a cow.” – Grant Wood (artist who painted American Gothic)
How many people content themselves with speaking, and believe that it exempts them from acting! And those who listen are content with having heard them. – Charles Wagner, “The Simple Life”
Sorry, I couldn’t find a good link on Wagner. I discovered this little book years ago in a used bookstore Virginia Beach. Wagner, a French cleric, released his little book “The Simple Life” in America at the start of the twentieth century. Americans embraced it and even Teddy Roosevelt heralded it’s value. This book was highly influential as a catalyst in the return to simplicity movement in America.
It’s official, Web Pages are dead. Bryan Eisenberg offers a touching eulogy to the that once great paragon of Internet traffic. He writes,
The Web page was pronounced dead on October 9, 2006, after a long bought with chronic irrelevance. A large group of marketers attempted CPR and other heroic resuscitation techniques. Witnesses present at the scene told reporters that despite a few minutes of chaos, the Web page’s last moments were largely serene and peaceful.
There is talk of a MySpace Web Pages Memorial Group forming, and some web pages aficionados are gathering “on a hillside” at Second Life to comfort one another. The rest of us are just blogging it.
He passed the bar. Whew! I didn’t if I could handle his whining! But now we’ve got to handle something else!
The number one reason I check Drudge is for the headlines. His headlines crack me up! I know folks say he is Republican operative, but I tend think there a little more anarchy in his libertarianism.
Today’s topper:
