Prime-time hypermedia
The two-way Web unleashed by the blogging revolution is, and will remain, largely a textual medium. And yet we're clearly at an inflection point. It's increasingly feasible to create and share media content. If you needed special AV skills and instincts in order to do that, it would be a non-starter. But I've never been an AV guy. What motivates me to explore the subject now is a profound sense that it's ready to become part of mainstream communication on the Web.

As You Slowly Slip Into Madness
I don't have any kids myself. But I do have six nieces and nephews under the age of four. How that happened was all my bothers and sisters decided pretty much at the same time to move back to Texas and start breeding. Kind of like salmon. It made Christmas last year very interesting. There were babies everywhere -- on the rug, in the cupboards, swinging from the chandelier. Being the unmarried crazy uncle sitting in the corner, I got to watch all this happen. I discovered a few things about kids that I didn't know before. From kuro5hin.org on August 5, 2004 at 2:52 p.m..

The File Sharing Experiment
The File Sharing Experiment is a project with the goal of demonstrating how file sharing actually helps the music, movie, and software industry.

All the evidence is anectdotal, but when taken together, it's already over a quarter million dollars in reported sales and the site has been up for one week.
