I went to see the Venus 3, which includes some friends of mine including Scott McCaughey, Peter Buck, Bill Reiflin and Robyn Hitchcock (who I met for the first time last night). I snagged some photos. I’m most proud of these two of Peter Buck, who’s hard to take a good photo of (check the history of REM photos for evidence).

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

So, its not as good in the screen, the speed, weight, cell modem, video or apps, and yet is a competitor? How?

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.

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.

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.

Excellent pic of the Ric. Well composed.
I officially request a detailed post of meeting Robyn. The wife and I chatted briefly with him after an acoustic show in Chicago. He was extremely nice, he prob’ly wanted to get outta there but stuck it out and talked to all the stragglers.
