"Amidst the public ballyhoo about how rampant P2P piracy is costing
the music business its very life (gasp! NO!), BMI announced it collected a record
level of revenue and royalty payout to its artist members. From
their press release: "BMI has reported revenues of $673 million for
the 2004 fiscal year, an increase of nearly $43 million, 6.8% over the
prior year. Royalties of more than $573 million were distributed to
our songwriters, composers and music publishers, an increase of $40
million or 7.5% from the previous year, and the most ever paid by an
American PRO." Another interesting tidbit: "During the period
1995-2004, BMI had an average annual revenue growth rate of 9%..." If
I read this right, BMI has been reporting solid growth over the last
nine years, which makes me question the industry's claims about P2P.
Either P2P ate into their growth (not mentioned), they found a way to
cope with it (plausible), or it may actually help music sales.
Whatever. Reminds me a bit of a spec I did for a life-insurance
company's radio ad: Money
, Money, Money (mp3 file)."

Money 2005: Microsoft Unveils Simplified
Approach to Financial Management and
Helps People Make Sense of Their Money
09/21/2004 08:41 AMMarking the largest development effort for Microsoft(R) Money since
the personal finance software was launched 13 years ago, Microsoft
Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) today announced Microsoft Money 2005 Premium,
Deluxe, Standard and Small Business. Completely rebuilt to simplify
daily financial tasks, Money 2005 is designed to answer the growing
number of consumer requests for a simple solution that addresses the
three primary areas of financial concern: tracking account balances,
monitoring spending and paying bills. Consumers today have less time
than ever to spend managing their finances, which has contributed to
the number of American households banking online -- due to its
convenience and efficiency -- reaching nearly 33 million.(1) Money
2005 builds on this trend by helping people access all their accounts
in one place and providing automated tools that reduce or eliminate
the manual entry required by traditional personal finance software.

On the train to Waterloo
06/06/2005 12:12 AMSo I'm working out in Wokingham - which is part of the Reading "The
UK's Silicon Valley" area west of London. Our client - Visual Media -
are teh folks who do Pluginz.com and JahShaka - which Doc wrote about two
years ago.
They've had over 200k downloads of their open source high-end
graphics/animation tool and we're designing a social network and media
blogging DLA for them.
Today I meet with several other potential clients and (hopefully)
continue to spread the DLA meme. When I get back - we'll have our
other new client over in SF for a month of meetings and will be
starting two other projects - which makes four simultaneous active
projects, with our aSmallWorld project ramping down.
Whereever I go - the DLA pitch is warmly received and immediately
put into the context of whoever I'm meeting with.
Now we get to show what this all has to do with microformats, new
kinds of tools and integration, aggregation and customization - in
general.
If everything continues - as is - I'll be posting for more
'Mini-Marcs' soon enough.

morning's train evacuation adventure (San Francisco Muni, J-Church
line).
The J-Church train I was on this morning kind-of blowed-up!
Actually, no explosion or anything, but a loud smashing sound followed
by an immediate stopping of the train and the lights going off. After
a few minutes, the conductor (driver?, engineer?) informed us "if you
can hear me, we are going to have to walk out of here, this train is
as dead as Julius Caesar!".

Figure Eight Train Racing
Figure Eight Train Racing
03/26/2005 09:53 PMI stumbled across something on SpeedTV today that has to
be seen to be believed: figure-eight train racing. Not real trains
— three cars lashed together to act like a train.
The first car is the only powered car. Usually something big, old,
and American — mid seventies Monte Carlos seemed quite popular. The
driver of this car steers and works the throttle. The car has no
brakes.
Attached to the back of the first car by chains and a tow bar is
the middle car, which has nothing. No engine, no brakes, no driver.
Just an empty shell.
Attached to the back of that by chains is the caboose. No engine,
no steering, but it has brakes and a driver. God help him.
Now, take eight of these perversions of automotive theory and put
them on a figure eight track. Seriously. Then race them for 10
laps.
The race I watched ended with no hits in the crossover, which
surprised me. What's amazing is watching the caboose get whipped
around like a rag doll. The rear driver is supposed to be able to put
some tension on the train by using the brake, but I couldn't see any
difference. Any quick steering movement up front got wildly
exaggerated by the time it rippled back to the rear and that guy was
just along for the ride.
I wish I had a picture to show you, but a few minutes of Googling
turned up nothing. Half of me thinks the whole thing was just a
nightmare.
