Turns out the rumors were true. SONICblue filed for bankruptcy today. They're going to sell their ReplayTV and Rio business units to D&M Holdings, which is the parent company of Denon and Marantz, two Japanese stereo equipment companies. Hopefully ReplayTV's monthly service will continue to be offered uninterrupted to subscribers.

Xeni Jardin: Interstate Bakeries files Chapter 11. And with it, an era of American pop gastronomy may meet its end. To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the carb; For in that sleep of death what Twinkies may come, when we have shuffled off this mortal Ho-Ho, must give us pause; there's the respect that makes creme-filled treats of so long life.

Link to Business Week article. But Newsday wins the best hed award: Twinkies Maker Out of Dough. (Thanks, Jim OConnor)

Update: Reader Kate says, "I read your post on the bankruptcy of the Interstate Bakeries, alluding to the fact that Twinkies have now met their end. But Chapter 11 bankruptcy is not about ending a company or specific product lines, but rather re-organizing a companies debts (Link to explanation). Although its possible that twinkies, ho-ho's and hostess pies may be gone in the near future, it is just as likely that they will remain. So in short, reports of Twinkies death have been greatly exaggerated."

Staci Kramer agrees. "It's not RIP quite yet. The company is reorganizing -- not liquidating -- and, according to the same Business Week article mentioned in your post, 'Interstate spokeswoman Maya Pogoda says the outfit plans to continue operating the rest of its bakeries and distribution centers.' I just don't want to write off Twinkies and other delicacies like orange Hostess cup cakes and Devil Dogs too soon. It would tilt the time-space contiuum."

"I was going through some old comics from the 1970s, and I stumbled upon a series of ads that I had forgotten about - Marvel and DC both had full-page ads in which their superheroes shilled for Hostess Fruit Pies, Twinkies and more! (Holy Flaky Filling, Batman!) There are links to ten different ads I've scanned and posted."

Phil Baker and the Robot Vacuum
Challenge

Phil Baker and the Robot Vacuum
Challenge 07/16/2004 08:46 AM

In an amazing bit of promotion for iRobot (the company, not the travesty), one of the new Roomba Discoveries has written a comparison review for San Diego Source, putting an Electrolux Trilobite and columnist Phil Baker in an head-to-head deathmatch to answer the home automation question of our time: Can an $1,800 euro-robot clean floors more effectively than a technology columnist? Surprisingly, while Phil Baker is almost $1,500 cheaper than the Trilobite (at $250), his performance stands up fairly compared to the more expensive model, although he does have a tendency to leak some dust out of his waste pan when picked up. Score one for the journos!

Russell Baker on Paul Krugman, Joan
Didion on George W. Bush: the NYRB is 40 10/28/2003 11:08 PM
It seems slightly scandalous that Krugman has persisted in noting that the present administration has been moving the lion's share of the money to an array of corporate interests distinguished by the greed of their CEOs, an indifference toward their workers, and boardroom conviction that it is the welfare state that is ruining the country. Krugman has been strident. He has been shrill. He has lowered the dignity of the commentariat. How refreshing. Russell Baker reviews Paul Krugman's The Great Unraveling: Losing Our Way in the New Century. We have now reached a point when even the White House may be forced to sort out how a president who got elected to execute a straightforward business agenda managed to sandbag himself with the coinciding fantasies of the ideologues in the Christian fundamentalist ministries and those in his own administration.... Joan Didion reviews Armageddon: The Cosmic Battle of the Ages by Tim F. LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. The New York Review of Books 40th anniversary edition is an especially good read..

The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci

"I want to read the Notebooks, but there are 1,565 pages and I have too much else to read.

At a page a day it would take a little over four years, but be manageable.

Fortunately Project Gutenberg (who make freely available online out-of-copyright books) has created a text version of the Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci. You can download it. It lacks the illustrations of the original, but it's Good Enough.

Using this site, I can read one page a day using my RSS News Reader. Find an RSS News Reader. I started at page 1 on May 30th, 2004. I'm now on page 3. You can either read along with me, or start reading at page 1 today.

Subscribe to one of the following two feeds (copy and paste the URL into your Reader):

¨ Start reading today (starts at page 1): http ://interconnected.org/home/more/davinci/2004-06-01.rss
¨ Read with me (starts at page 3): http ://interconnected.org/home/more/davinci/2004-05-30.rss" [Interconnected, via del.icio.us/tag/rss]

I am thoroughly intrigued by this, and my first thought is how similar this is to what the Chapter-A-Day folks do. Of course, publishers could also offer this service directly to readers, but wouldn't it be great if libraries did? Or if we start providing RSS feeds of new materials from our catalogs, what if we could also provide the first paragraph of each book in the feed?
