Support independent music artists
Stumbled upon a great site for music of all types. Jamendo.
Here is just a small sample from one of the artists there.

I am not quite sure how Robert Scoble scammed a ride but here’s an awesome interview with Joi Ito on they way to see Lawrence Lessig at Stanford.
The discussion centers around Creative Commons and some of the changes and challenges that it faces.
There is a new service that recently started up called QIK, http://www.qik.com which allows users with a S60 capable Nokia phone to stream live. The experience varies with the quality of the signal be it either 3G or over a wifi connection and the steady hand of the phone owner.
I got up this morning to a twitter from Jason Calacanis who’s currently in Munich at the DLD conference. It’s pretty amazing when you can sit down with a cup of coffee and watch live events from participants around the world in almost realtime with nothing more then a cellphone in their hands.
The system is also interactive since it has a chat client on the website where you view the videos and they’ve integrated the chat on the authors side as a video overlay which is down right cool.
The video below is from Jason’s channel and will either show his latest post or it will actually go live when he starts a new stream.
Definitely take the time to check out Qik and here’s hoping for a native iPhone app that does the same thing though EDGE is too slow to accommodate decent video but there is always wifi.
Well it’s been a bit of a whirlwind for the past couple years as CIO for a large E-commerce company from which I just recently left. I am pleased to finally be able to pursue new opportunities and to spend more time on some of my pet projects.
I know the blog has been down for some time with little to no updates. That is going to change and you will start to see many posts and articles in the coming weeks and months.
Sorry for the long hiatus.
