Plans

Gentle Giant Forced To Change Exclusive
Plans 07/22/2004 01:04 AM
Comic-Con hasn't even started yet, and already there's a problem with the exclusives from Gentle Giant. Comic-Con security is enforcing the sale of exclusive items from the planned distrubution system to a raffle system. Fans interested in acquiring the Spirit of the Rebellion bust-ups or the Luke Skywalker in Stormtrooper Disguise mini-bust can enter the raffle, and if their number is called, will be able to make their purchase. The good news is that the winning number is good throughout the show, so if your number is called, you can make your purchase during the weekend. This is not what Gentle Giant had planned, and they were only informed of this change minutes before distribution was about to begin.

It's short: 15 shows in 16 days across the U.S. I'll miss my girlfriend, friends, family and co-workers. There's Wi-Fi everywhere, right? Even Norman, Oklahoma?

The Pixies Say No To Record Company,
Focus On Touring

The Pixies Say No To Record Company,
Focus On Touring 08/13/2004 05:45 AM
Ever since Napster came out, it was easy to see that it was going to be increasingly difficult to just make money selling CDs. This seems fairly obvious, of course, but when people asked where the money would come from, it seemed equally obvious that the money would come from using the music to promote other items for sale, such as concert tickets, fan clubs, access to the artists and plenty of other ideas. Some people responded that (a) no artist would make as much and (b) what about artists who don't like to tour? There are simple answers, of course. Most musicians don't make any money. Under this plan, those few super star artists may not get as rich, but it would be much easier for other artists to make a reasonable amount of money -- since they wouldn't have to go through the same record label/radio promotion process. As for the question of musicians who don't want to tour... too bad. I'd love to be able to sit here and have people pay me entirely based on what I wrote yesterday, but it doesn't happen. I needed to come up with a business model that continued to make me money, and so do musicians. One group that seems to have at least figured out the basics of this is the Pixies. Rather than sign a record deal, they admit: " That's not where the money is. The business is with the real customers, the fans. They're the ones who say, 'OK, we'll come and see you perform." So, they haven't signed a record deal, but are out making money touring... and selling exclusive recordings of the shows right after they happen (which might violate a patent< /a>, but that's another story). It's funny that the music "industry" which is supposed to house the business whizzes is struggling to figure out what they can do other than sue people, while the musicians are out there reinventing the actual industry.

Mark Baker: Today, Roy Fielding ripped me a new one on the topic of the https URI scheme, which I had always considered an unnecessary hack.

It seems that Mark now knows a bit more about the rationale behind the https URI scheme, but doesn't quite grasp the colloquialism.

Trust me, if you've ever witnessed Roy ripping someone a new one, you will know it.

Me?  I've only gotten a mild swat or two...

A Few Gentle Words from the Club for
Growth...

A Few Gentle Words from the Club for
Growth... 01/08/2004 08:38 PM
Lest anyone lull themselves into the belief that the left has taken an uncontested lead in the bad-mouthing-the-oppostion derby, I submit the following from an Iowa anti-Dean ad being run by The Club for Growth, a PAC which describes itself as "one of the nation’s leading free-market political advocacy organizations." In a current press release on their web site, they announce an ad that began running today on Des Moines, Iowa broadcast stations and on cable news channels, for which they have budgeted over $100,000 during this phase of the campaign. For for those who can't stream the ad from here, it goes like this: "A dignified older couple walks out of a barber shop. An off-screen announcer asks what they think of Howard Dean’s plan to raise taxes on a typical family by $1,900. "Without hesitation, the husband responds: 'What do I think? Well, I think Howard Dean should take his tax-hiking, government-expanding, latte-drinking, sushi-eating, Volvo-driving, New York Times-reading…' "His wife continues: '…body piercing, Hollywood-loving, left-wing freak show back to Vermont where it belongs.'" Is this really an ad about economic policy? I think it will be very difficult for me to convince my new fellow travelers in the pro-Dean scene to restrain their rhetoric if their TV sets are going to be lavishing such pretty stuff as this on them. I hope those among you who take such grave exception to vivid excesses on the "left" or whatever the hell you call us, will be equally offended by this ad and will encourage your own colleagues to back it off a couple of turns. Otherwise the future of America with devolve to a purely idiotic professional wrestling match between gay atheist Harvard professors and some good ol' refugees from "Deliverance" who are just trying to keep the weirdos - and a few other objectionable demographic groups safely away from power. I can see their thinking. One can hardly entrust government to someone who actually reads a newspaper instead of getting his news over the television, as God prefers that he do. I mention all this because if we are to make this campaign - or this blog - safe for rational, if spirited, disagreement about policy, we will have to go forth often among our own camps and evangelize the civilization of adversarial respect. We could start right here, arguing fiercely among ourselves, and create so graceful a model for constructive combat that it communicates a necessary dignity to whatever government rises from it....
