r@dio.mp3 broadcasts digital music via satellite without any fees or many restrictions. one simply needs a computer with tv-card installed and a cable tv connection. surprisingly, internet access is not even necessary.

although the @ in the name misgives a lot, the technical concept behind the idea seems to be quite smart: radio.mp3 utilizes a gap in tv transmission, the so-called "tv vertical blanking interval", to send encoded mp3 data to the connected machines. since radio.mp3 owns a broadcasting license, they do not seem to interfere with current copyright law. it will be interesting to watch what the anti-napster faction is going to do about that.

i don't know how sofist stefan knecht defines "successful content syndication". however, i know at least four entities that do content syndication and are not publishers [1, 2, 3, 4]. in my eyes they are successful. because they do it right. but i do not have a clue if they make enough or any money at all with it...

online journalism review, "blogged down in the pr machine": "many journalist-run blogs have small but dedicated followings of opinion leaders and influencers, the key people that pr companies are trying to target. in their niche-geared, serendipitous way, blogs reach a significant proportion of the web's mindshare. in so doing, they may exert an influence rivaling that of traditional news outlets.'"

very interesting: ibm's sash promises to "make windows applications out of web pages right now" using html and a javascript clone called sashscript.

hehe, i like that kind of treason... just don't understand why those guys don't apply any or all of their top nine reasons to quit slashdot.org to the suggested alternatives, too.

moreover, i think that the whole weblog "movement" creates this "endless stream of links, updated a dozen times a day no less (so you don't go once a day to get your fix; instead, you keep a window open and hit reload every twenty minutes or so)". and i can see a lot of people (even close friends) who "eventually became babbling idiots, dribbling saliva from the corners of their mouths".

i know that just when i write down the next sentence, it probably won't be true anymore... but after all the trouble, i want to record that blogger works sleek and swift like a panther at the moment. but that won't stop me from approaching my randy hopblog.

ooh, look at this: the washington post provides some links to web log resources. ain't that cool? no links, ma'am! and they call that section "dot-com" (this bubble was intended to burst)... html from hell!

accidentally (what else?) i zapped to children's television music shop viva (argh! browser window alert!) and got to know moreno veloso. very nice. and now arrivederci!

btw. i am impressed that the drums are electronic ones, played with the fingers on small pads. and the brass section probably is not less than a tap dance on a foot pedal...

i don't know, but it seems the 3d people get sicker and sicker. now they want us to surf in a cube. don't they know that 2d is better than 3d? ;->

how powerful can a power search in 3d be?
