Pay To Have Your CDs Turned Into MP3s

Pay To Have Your CDs Turned Into MP3s 01/26/2004 12:42 PM
I've mentioned before that I'm still a bit behind on using digitized music, as it seems like quite a chore to rip all my CDs. It's been something of an ad hoc process. Every once in a while, when I want to listen to a specific CD and have the music stored on my computer, I'll rip that CD. However, ripping them all (over 1,000) seems like quite a process. That said, I'm still not sure I'd be interested in a service that would rip your CDs into MP3s for you. Still, it appears plenty of people are interested and are paying about a dollar per CD to have the process done. While the service was originally intended for DJs, many people are apparently signing up to have their personal collections ripped as well. Of course, you have to wonder how sustainable this business is. You certainly aren't going to have many repeat customers.

Psychic TV turned on again

Psychic TV turned on again 09/06/2004 05:23 AM
David Pescovitz: Transmedia artist Genesis P-Orridge has reactivated his seminal industrial/trance band Psychic TV to tour Europe and the United States beginning this month. Last winter, I was fortunate enough to catch a rehearsal and they sounded fabulous--tight, energized, and... happy. (Douglas Rushkoff was playing keyboards with the group for several dates late last year but will not be joining this particular "de-tour.")

Genesis is quite a sight these days as well. As part of the Breaking Sex art exploration he's immersed in with his other half, Lady Jaye, the two received identical breast implants on Valentine's Day 2003. Gen's new mantra? "S/he is Her/e." Link

Turned commenting back on

Turned commenting back on 04/09/2004 04:01 PM
I spent several hours trying to install James Seng's CAPTCHA comment spam reduction MT hack, but didn't have any luck. Seng isn't answering questions any more about his hack, but apparently (undocumented), it requires a newer version of GD.pm than the antiquated 1.38 version that my webhost, phpwebhosting.com, has installed. I tried convincing my webhost to upgrade their version of GD, but they declined, and when I tried to do a private install, I found so many other packages that also needed upgrading that in the end I gave it up. The problem with comment spam is that I always feel like my site has been defaced, and I wonder why someone would go to all the trouble when I remove the comment spam on a daily basis. I have to remind myself that it isn't anything personal, the spammer hasn't even been to my site, it is just a script. So back to the old Spambad system until MT 3.0 ships. At least it has sharpened by SQL skills, devising a new SQL statement every day to erase the 90 spam comments while keeping the two valid comments. In any case, please feel free to comment again....

How Amazon Turned A Profit

How Amazon Turned A Profit 01/28/2004 03:38 PM
The most amazing thing, to me, about Jeff Bezos was that he never (publicly, at least) took all the post-boom Wall Street naysayers to task for completely changing their minds in 2000 and 2001. For years, Wall Street was telling Bezos to grow faster and faster and not to worry about profits - and he did so. Then, suddenly, as the dot com bubble collapsed, they started yelling at him "but where are your profits?" even though they were the same ones who were telling him to forget about profits the month before. To his credit, Bezos (calmly) appears to have turned the big ship Amazon around, and is now meeting the profitability standard that Wall Street now values. While there are a ton of stories talking about Amazon's earnings announcement (yes, they were profitable for the year last year), the Seattle Post-Intelligencer has a much more interesting article talking about how Amazon has managed to change over the years to make all of this possible.

Wait 28 Years For A Landline... Then Get
Turned Down 08/19/2004 02:19 PM
You may recall that last year we had the story of the amazingly patient man in Bangladesh who waite d 27 years for a phone line. He had requested it in 1976, at age 33, and the Bangladesh Telegraph and Telephone Board claimed they had "lost" the application, until the press picked up on the story in 2003, and they suddenly found (and approved) the request. Well, he's got nothing to complain about, apparently. Also in 1976, over in Romania, another man requested a telephone line. But unlike the situation in Bangladesh, this time it took 28 years to get rejected. That's right. Romtelecom has finally processed his application and said, sorry, they can't provide him with a landline. The man wrote back, noting that plenty had changed in the 28 years since his application: he had gotten married, had two kids, moved into a new home... and even gotten a phone line without having to wait 28 years.
