Ashlee Simpson is deaf…

That should get me up in the rankings at Google.

I really wanted to point something out for anyone that hasn’t been exposed to performing in a venue like the Orange Bowl.

I also have to point out that I know Ashley and her family because of my daughter Melissa while she was in DREAM. I know the kind of crap the media and the industry can dish out and it’s generally not to kind.

I have enclosed a screen capture from the last part of the Orange Bowl program that clearly shows that Ashlee has her earpieces out. Now you might ask… so, what does that mean? It means Ashlee couldn’t hear ANYTHING not even her own voice. It’s almost damn near impossible in a venue of that magnitude not to be wearing your earpieces. Those earpieces are connected to the mixing board and are feeding the actual music back into the artists ear including their own voice.

Have you ever listened to someone singing when they had earphones listening to a CD player? They couldn’t hit a note in most cases.

Give the kid a break… most of you would freeze up under that type of pressure and stress.

ill-behaved RSS clients..

After switching over to Feedburner for all my feeds and turning on statistics I’ve come to the conclusion that there are definitely some ill-behaved readers floating around out there…

This is a partial snapshot of the clients that have been hitting my feed and by far Opera is just hammering my feed for the few clients that are using it….

In comparison NetNewsWire has 4 times the number of clients and is 1/20th the bandwidth hog vs. Opera RSS Reader.

Dedicated application for producing podcasts…

This is the first product I’ve seen that’s been developed specifically as a “podcast console”. It comes from a company called TinyScience and I’ve included a link to a quicktime demonstration of the software. It’s Windows only and requires the .Net framework installed. I haven’t used it yet but the demo looks pretty good for a basic system.

BTW: Their website renders like garbage in Safari and I’ve already complained. James Prudente the author of the software and website in question sent me a very nice response saying he’d try to fix it ASAP.
