Ten albums that changed my life
I share six of those ten.
in Salon: Don’t steal music, pretty please. Boutin suggests that current record company tactics should, and will, change to adapt to the new environment in a way that satisfies consumers. I’m not as optimistic, though I share his analysis of how they could make this whole MP3 thing work for them.
: Former Beatle George Harrison Dies at Age 58. Of course I’d heard he was ill, but it’s still quite a shock.
The stars of Canadian country music have announced a free concert at the Jubilee Auditorium. People are encouraged to make a donation to the Red Cross.
a couple of days in the country at a cottage without electricity, with a privy out back, and folks who make some lovely music. Anyhow I was half dreading coming back, as there were a couple of little nit-picky things I had to do soon, if not tonight.
One of them was to register my copy of Sig Software’s Drop Drawers, which gives me popup folder functionality in OS X. A good little app, and something I’m happy to pay $15 for through Kagi. And it turned out to be the easiest thing in the world to register the copy on my box. I just copied a long text block from the email they sent me and started the app. It read the clipboard, saw that my code was there and that’s it – the thing was registered. Beautiful in its simplicity. A nice way to ease into the week – other times I’ve had nightmares with non-functioning registration procedures and such.
