RIAA not suing over CD ripping but still kinda being jerks | Engadget Quote - It turns out that (Jeffery Howell, who’s being sued by the RIAA) isn’t actually being sued for ripping CDs, like the Washington Post and several other sources have reported (tags: copyright riaa)

In a radical move, I’ll be going out tonight. Happy New Year’s to all my Twitter friends.

Back home in Nashville after a great weekend visiting family in Mobile. Caffeine-fueled early, early long drive back — I’m outta gas now.

This game has settled one thing, for sure: The NFL Network is not worth subscribing to.

Giants lead 21-16 at halftime of this 3-hour commercial for the NFL Network.

Hey, wait @susanreynolds. My hometeam can make the playoffs if they win tomorrow. However, I’ll admit envy is a factor.

It’s not that I minded driving seven hours today. It would have been nicer had it not been through torrential rain — the entire trip.

Dave’s cool new thing →
I apologize for the jumpiness of this video I grabbed to demo how my screensaver uses a stream of photos from my Flickr-contacts’ photos generated by Dave’s software, that can found at at FlickrFan.org. Dave Winer often describes himself online as a “media hacker.” And today, he’s releasing a new product called — at least for now, FlickrFan. It is quite a cool media hack. And by...

Chris Anderson: Are dead-tree magazines good or... →
I’m very glad it’s Chris Anderson who wrote this post today. As it’s from Chris, the author of the Long Tail and executive editor of Wired Magazine, perhaps he won’t be written off as some right-wing wacko for putting forth the radically un-chiche suggestion that print magazines (Wired, at least) may actually have a smaller “carbon footprint” than the magazine’s website. Again, that’s Chris —...

Get me re-write: Walt Mossberg says a Windows... →
Walt Mossberg, the consistently Mac gung-ho columnist at the Wall Street Journal, is going to launch a million rebuttals from MacFanboy Nation with his review of the Dell XPS One that concludes it is “the first Windows all-in-one desktop I’ve tested that I believe matches or exceeds the iMac in hardware design.” I wonder if the Dell folks are doing a re-write parody of this early “I’m a Mac”...

How to rip a DVD to iTunes/iPod - legally →
Via PaidContent.org, comes news (I guess it’s “news” that the Financial Times and Wall Street Journal are reporting what every Apple rumor site has been saying for weeks) that Apple will announce a rental option for some video purchased via the iTunes Store. However, there’s a new twist to the report today: At least one studio, 20th Century Fox, will start adding an MPEG-4 version to DVDs it...

I’m binge reading books. Avg. one a day. Today it was Steve Martin’s Born Standing Up — a memoir of his standup days. It is great!

A Future Tense story from the past →
As my online time has been sparse the past few days, I’m only now realizing that Jon Gordon’s Public radio show Future Tense posted the story about about Apple and Think Secret that includes some Rex sound bites. Thanks to Jon’s amazing editing skills, I don’t sound like a complete idiot — except to those who believe Apple can never do wrong.

While the U.S. doesn’t officially celebrate boxing day, I am personally observing it by taking naps between meals and reading books.
