to the story about the ruling in the 2600 case. If you haven’t been following it, well, industry won. I can’t figure out how the guy who was moved, some might even say shaken, by Touretzky’s testimony turned around and dismissed it out of hand when it came time to rule. Sometimes I’m convinced that there are pod people who step in when real humans look like they’re going to do something against the wishes of big industry.
My friend MJ and I
, among others, have been jawing about Napster and mp3 in general for months, usually over beers at our local watering hole. MJ has put it together in a great story in Hour this week. Ironically, as I read the story I decided I had to listen to Neil Young’s Thrasher. So I grabbed it – took but a minute.
The big news
while I was away (no, not the sub or DemCon2K) was that my friend Michael‘s company was bought by Peregrine Systems, which is really cool. Someday I want to start a business with Michael, or to work for him or something like that. He is a huge geek in a way that I am not nor will ever be – and he’s also deeply interested in the more personal, quotidian applications of networking and whatnot. I like people who can work the heavy steel end of networking and the web but also understand and appreciate the everyday, individual applications as well.
Speaking of home
Home again home again
jiggety jig. I got back home from Minneapolis this afternoon after a fantastic, though short, trip. The main goal of my trip was to relax and to visit with someone very close to me, both of which were accomplished very successfully. We also managed to get an excellent group together at a place called the Loring Cafe last night – dinner first then more people met us for drinks outside later on. It was a really great time – everyone there was up for a good night.
I liked Minneapolis quite a bit – it’s a pretty neat city. But truth be told, there’s nothing quite like coming back to Montreal. This is home.
