Unusable Open Source

April 17th, 2009

Still unemployed, I have begun working on a new web site that will at least enhance my resume if it doesn’t make me any money.

Open Music

December 23rd, 2005

There have been lots of developments lately in the music industry. More accurately, there are developments in the lack of a music industry. The old ways of charging for albums and having a controlled radio are going away. Mp3 download services and podcasts are out in full force. Despite this important and beneficial shift in models there is still a major problem that needs to be rectified. Music is still a one way street.
