MJ Milloy:

MJ Milloy:

The price of oil. “At his concert last week, British folk-punk shit-disturber Billy Bragg tossed CDs into the crowd. They contained an unreleased song: ‘The price of oil.’

PCWorld has published a nice overview

of the issues the entertainment issue is trying to deal with in an article called Hollywood vs. Your PC. It doesn’t have anything new in it if you have been following these issues closely, but if you haven’t, it will get you up to speed pretty effectively. [via ni vu ni connu]

Hey cool – the Booker Prize

winner has been announced, and local writer Yann Martel won this year! No one I’ve ever chatted with over a beer in someone’s kitchen has ever won a major international literary prize.

It’s years too late now,

It’s years too late now,

but I finally saw Doug Block’s excellent independent documentary, Home Page, which chronicles a certain thread in the early days of the WWW. It was kind of creepy to watch now, everything under glass like that, but at the same time that history is my history in a big way. So it’s kind of like looking down a weird webified memory lane full of people that formed the experience depicted in Block’s film but also, quite separately, my own past on the net. Weird, but I’m glad I finally saw it.
