- Facebook’s Gone Rogue; It’s Time for an Open Alternative | Epicenter | Wired.com
I know I keep on this hobby-horse. But this article is an excellent summary of why I remain on it, of all the things you now simply cannot do privately on Facebook. It doesn't even get into the information that leaks out about you just because your friends do things on the internet. I simply do not understand how it can be considered acceptable for a company to do this and remain in business they appear to have total and utter contempt for the people who use their system…

You never know when one of these will come in handy.

- The Problem With Music
Steve Albini's breakdown of exactly how much a band can expect now to earn in a normal record industry contact. Figures would need to be adjusted for inflation, but I bet they're still proportionally the same. I've seen this a few times over the years, I just wanted to log it in case I need to refer to it again.

"Stars nearly aligned" says Professor Angell. On the other hand, maybe this will finally give us a leg up all becoming young and thin and energetic again. Or turn us into a race of degenerate fish-men, I guess. Either's good by me. Ia! Etc…
