While you were BBQing tequilia-marinated chicken during a 4th of July thunderstorm in Seattle, here’s what we were looking at:
- How iTunes Can Help The Publishing Industry – Simple: combine the ubiquity of the seemingly indestructible Portable Document Format with the ease of iTunes.
- How About Independence From Demagogues? What better way to celebrate our nation’s 230th B-Day than a with a rant about asswipe Congresspeople trying to whip up their base in an election year? Well, for starters, with that BBQ chicken.
- New Online Media Sharing Service, New Model, Same Problems – What if you got paid for those crazy wacky homemade videos that you keep uploading to the Web? eefoof is willing to do just that. Cool! Er, that is if enough people find your video. Good luck with that. Also, have we really run out of even brand-new madeup words for Websites? Is any random combination of vowels and consonants now good enough?
- How The Pilot That Nobody Watched Got Itself Seen By Everybody – Or “Everybody’s Watching Nobody’s Watching.”
- The Universal Plan To Save CD Sales – I’ve got a plan: lower your prices and release better music!
- That’s What I Like: SubEthaEdit – If you thought that SubEthaEdit was how the Galactica communicated with its Viper pilots, Kirk & Kassia will set you straight with this explanation about a powerful writing collaboration tool.
- Emmy Noms: Two-and-A-Half Cracksmoking Monkeys? – BTW, no disrespect meant towards Martin Sheen, who’s always owned that role, it’s just that he wasn’t in West Wing enough this season to deserve a nomination, that’s all. On the other hand: Charlie Sheen? Are you fracking kidding me?
