Corporate Blogging Update

In the interest of full transparency for the fact that I blog whilst an employee and director at Warner Bros. Records, I have to disclose the following:

Today I ate my chicken salad with crunchy wontons, but tried a wasabi based Asian dressing that made my nose run.

I also had a diet coke.

I did this in lew of the fine Southern Soul Food that was in the artist lounge for the R&B artist Jaheim. For this I apologize to the urban A&R department.

And no, I have no comment on the Apple Boot Camp announcement, so stop asking.

Cool stuff, but using Control4 is cheating. And expensive.

I find it amusing that the same people who lament, mock and take glee in the demise of traditional media are very happy that one of the hallmarks of "New Media" - Techmeme - got a (deserved) profile in the New York Times.

I just had a heart attack and vowed that we will never, ever get a pool in our backyard. EVER.

Pretty much sums up my feelings on Android. I fear as well that with the rapid pace of "This is the BEST ANDROID PHONE ON THE MARKET" -- seemingly every three weeks -- we are nearly to the point where one company (say HTC) will cause an Osborne Effect on another manufacturer (say, Motorola or Samsung). It is only in each companies best interest to have the worlds best Android phone (WBAP for short). I fear its about to get nasty.

Ancillary data produced by your business can become more valuable than the profits from the business itself. Don't throw anything away.

R.E.M. should, one random day, close down College Ave between Broad and Washington, setup a stage, play, pack up and head back into their office. Unannounced.
