Adam Bosworth comes to the light


Adam Bosworth comes to the light 09/21/2004 10:14 AM

I have this vivid memory of meeting Adam Bosworth out on Dave Winer's patio - back in like 1997. He (at the time) as an all-star at Microsoft - having just created IE and a key guy in the XML game.

Then Adam went to BEA and now Google.

He's now caught up with revelations about media - where I was back then - 7-8 years ago.

Welcome to my life - Adam - now we get to see what Google will do about all this.....

Can you say "digital lifestyle aggregator?"

See yah at Web 2.0.

Here's Adam's post.....

These days, like everybody else, my media is increasingly on my hard disks. It is on PC's, Mac's, iPod's and recorders of TV like Tivo although mine is a Time Warner supplied variant. As such, like everyone else I know, it has profoundly changed the way I view my stereo and my home entertainment in general. I don't want to build a stereo from a stereo company. Nor do I want to buy one of these "home entertainment" PC's. I have more PC's at home already than I want/need. What I want is a super simple way to buy an amp and speakers (of good quality) and just plug them into a box that in turn, talks wirelessly to all of my PC's and/or hard disks. think of the box as a preamp, but it can be a lot simpler than old ones because the only sound source and media source is ethernet and 80211. I want my cell phone to support bluetooth to the box so that I can use it and its screen and keyboard/keypad to pick the album, artist, movie, tv show, etc to play/record and I want the box to support record like a Tivo, but on my hard disks. Why my cell phone? Because these days it has a good enough screen to show me a list of artists or albums or shows and I use one with a keyboard, but even without it, it has a keyboard and pointing and then there is just one device in my life. No more remote hell. I'm OK with the slightly painful iTunes style of DRM although it is irritating. In other words I'll limit my personal use of the recorded media to 4 or 5 personal machines like laptops or iPods.

From my point of view, this is hard. I go into a PC store and they don't understand amps or speakers and try to push little tiny ones on me. They don't understand wireless at all. I go into a stereo store and they think I still listen to sound from CD's and video from cable or DVD's when again, I typically want it on my disks. They will sell me a flatscreen for $5K or more without blinking, but ask for a 1 terabyte hard disk which should be <$1K and everyone just stares. One terabyte can store a LOT of movies and songs and shows. I also want what great recording quality on my sound and the stereo stores seem to know nothing about this. I'm sure I'll here from Mac people about how this is all easy/possible on Mac's, but I did go into an Apple store and wasn't happy with their knowledge about amps and speakers and cabling and sound. Apple does something that makes no sense to me at all. They think that the iPod is the sound source and I need a remote control for it thereforce. I want the iPod to be my remote control (when I'm in range of a sound system AND I have no headphones plugged in) and then talk to my "box" that is playing media.

Adam Bosworth: Loosely Speaking


Adam Bosworth: Loosely Speaking 06/07/2002 11:03 AM
The only real success story to date in the world of loose coupling is the Web itself. When people change the implementation of their sites, often in very fundamental ways, the browser continues to be able to browse the site. The reason this works is that the browser makes no assumptions about the site's implementation. The only thing the browser knows is the wire format (usually HTML) and the protocol.

"tri" Adam Bosworth is an interesting guy. He was Microsoft's XML guru and helped build the foundations of .NET. He also designed MS Access. Then some dirty business occurred, he left Microsoft and setup his own company, was sued by Microsoft and forced to resign from the company he founded. Now he's joined the Java camp, and is presently the CTO of BEA and a big advocate of J2EE :-)

Remix Nine Inch Nails 04/16/2005 09:10 PM
Phillip Torrone @ Make:
Make your own Nine Inch Nails

MacMinute has a story about Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails making the band's new single, "The Hand That Feeds" available to download for Mac users with GarageBand to mix and mash up (an actual multi-track audio session). "For quite some time I've been interested in the idea of allowing you the ability to tinker around with my tracks -- to create remixes, experiment, embellish or destroy what's there," Reznor says. Here's a screenshot of it on my Mac (View image) and here's where to get it (70MB file). Here are a couple of the first remixes!

How excellent. This is almost like open source music. It's one thing to say, "hey it's OK to sample this." It's taking it to a totally different level to publish it as a Garage Band project. Now if only they would put some kind of Creative Commons license on it, it would be perfect.

Nine Inch Nails Releases GarageBand
Music
04/16/2005 09:26 PM

Anyone using an Apple will have a special treat in store for them. Trent Reznor from the Nine Inch Nails has released the full-tracked GarageBand Format of their song, "The Hands That Feeds". This is a first as far as we know. Here is the info direct from Trent and you can download the song from MacMegaSite.

For quite some time I've been interested in the idea of allowing you the ability to tinker around with my tracks - to create remixes, experiment, embellish or destroy what's there. I tried a few years ago to do this in shockwave with very limited results.
After spending some quality time sitting in hotel rooms on a press tour, it dawned on me that the technology now exists and is already in the hands of some of you. I got to work experimenting and came up with something I think you'll enjoy.
What I'm giving you in this file is the actual multi-track audio session for "the hand that feeds" in GarageBand format. This is the entire thing bounced over from the actual Pro Tools session we recorded it into. I imported and converted the tracks into AppleLoop format so the size would be reasonable and the tempo flexible.
So...
You need a Macintosh and you need GarageBand 2.0. If you have a newer Mac, you already have the software. The more RAM you have the better. I did this on a PowerBook 1.67 w/ 2G RAM but it has been running on far less powerful systems.
Drag the file over to your hard disk and double click it. Hit the space bar. Listen.
Change the tempo. Add new loops. Chop up the vocals. Turn me into a woman. Replay the guitar. Anything you'd like.
I gave this to my crew and band to test out and all work effectively stopped for a while - it's fun to mess around with. I've now heard a country version of the track as well as an abstract Latin interpretation (thanks, Leo).
There are some copyright issues involved, so read the notice that pops up. Giving this away is an experiment. I'm interested to see what comes of it, what issues are raised and what the results are.
Have fun-
Trent Reznor

Welcome Adam


Welcome Adam 02/13/2004 05:42 AM
I delighted again to announce another new contributor to this weblog. Adam (aka snowman) is already quite a prolific weblogger — running useful.mac, everythinghurts.com, puzzleblog.com, totallyretro.com and (my particular favourite) everthingsoothes.com — so I’m glad he's able to share some of his time with us. Welcome aboard Adam!

What Adam Said


What Adam Said 08/07/2004 09:08 PM
A month or two ago, I got a call out of the blue from some guy I never heard at a recruiting shop saying “I’m looking for a reference on Adam Bosworth.” I’m afraid I gave the guy a hard time, first I took him for a prankster and then I ranted at him along the lines of “You’re talking about probably one of top twenty software people in the world, have you never heard of Quattro Pro and Microsoft Access and IE 4? What are you talking to me for?” To his credit, the guy was patient and explained that this was Google and Google is different. So I told him about my exposure to Adam over the years and all the things it’s painfully obvious that he’s good at, and I’m sure the other people they called did too, and now he’s at Google. But what I really wanted to say today is, go read his latest piece, he says in one paragraph what I’ve been raving about for months in the area of Web Services: “The really useful things turn out to be the simplest ones.” How many times do we have to re-learn this lesson? Anyhow, there’s more, and it’s all good.

Dinner with Adam


Dinner with Adam 05/04/2004 03:42 AM

On my last night in Amsterdam for this trip, I had dinner with Adam Curry at a meat house that reminded me of a bar in Mazomanie, WI, many many years ago. We had meat and beer. So did everyone else.

It's really interesting walking around Amsterdam with Adam, who is a very famous person here. People stare at him. Ask for his autograph. I get some of the reflected glory, who is that guy with the rock star? It's a pretty unusual thing for me.

Anyway, we talked about next things to do. It was good to get some one-on-one time with Adam this trip. Now it's off the Schipol, the Amsterdam airport, to go back to Boston, and whatever adventures await me there.
