Oh my, I was laughing my... patukas.. off reading this:

Ooohhh.... must not look.

non-mp3-label-approved

It looks like Apple may be announcing shortly a new music service for Mac/iPod owners, using label-approved music and non-mp3 format. Argh.

Apple had so much going for it - the whole digital hub thing, iTunes, iPod. Do they know it was MP3 support that made iTunes so frikkin popular? I wonder if they will continue to support MP3? I guess we'll see what happens.

Ok, I'm on my second cup already because I got distracted. After noticing Scoble's link to Joel on Software, I decided to read Joel's most recent email article, on Building Communities with Software. It got me thinking about how the forum on this site works. I may make some changes around here but I'm not sure yet.

Not sure exactly what Jupiter's weblog tradeshow is meant to be or do, but I bet Scoble will have some ideas.

Well, there's not much to say.

If you're in the tech business, writing software, building hardware, or making an OS, you need to be reading Robert Scoble.

I just noticed that O'Reilly has a Policy DevCenter to go along with their other developer-oriented sites. I wonder if we'll start to see books like "The Constitution in a Nutshell", "Practical CopyLeft", "Congressional Framework Essentials" showing up on the booklist?

Inspired to go looking after Dave linked to the perl.org RSS feeds of their job listings, I just found that jobmart.com has feeds of each of their job databases:

• Mac OS X: http://macosx.jobmart.com/Resumes/JobOpennings/RssFeed
• Linux: http://linux.jobmart.com/Resumes/JobOpennings/RssFeed
• Python, Plone, Zope: http://python.jobmart.com/Resumes/JobOpennings/RssFeed
• Wireless: http://wireless.jobmart.com/Resumes/JobOpennings/RssFeed

Intaglio: I really really wanted to sign up for the beta program for this cool-looking Mac OS X drawing app, but alas, the email address they provide is being bounced as a denied relay.

Found this over on blogdex: Caring For Your Introvert.

I just got back from re-introducing the Green Machine to the dirty stuff. Seems some local bmx-ers have converted a local vacant lot into The BumpLands - mounds of dirt of every shape and size (and level of rain-saturation) just perfect for falling off of!

Well, Opus is halfway to being properly installed in the closet. Right now it's in the closet, but still attached to a monitor/kbd, as I'm not quite ready to let it run unattended.

w00t!!

Cory Doctorow over at BoingBoing linked to Sean McMains' oh-so-cool Arcade game PC. Awesome stuff!

Geez - so much bruhah to update the system. System Update it ain't.
