AES Comes to LA This Weekend Audio Engineering Society (AES) comes to the LA Convention Center this weekend Oct 5-8. I've been invited to sit in on a couple sessions, including Leo Chiariglione's address on "MP3 and Beyond:  Friend or Foe to the Audio Industry?" and "THE DIGITAL MICROPHONE STANDARD" with Stephan Peus of Neuman. We'll keep you posted on what happens. 3:35:03 PM Google It!

My New Tuff Shed's a Shack in Comparison John's talking about how times have changed. "A dog house for $8k?  My parents bought a three bedroom home in 1962 for $32 k in CT.  Wow, have things changed.  I couldn't even add a room in my house for that now." Note: Clark Atkinson purchased the $8K "Zen Dog House" as part of a charity auction for Pets in Need. So he's not as crazy has first thought. I have a Schanauzer named Andy (left) who'd think he's in heaven if he had it in his back yard! We are in the process of buy or building our own version of a customized Tuff Shed with a porch  (right) The idea is we want a storage area that can be used for a workshop or to store all the patio furniture. Total price is less than $2K. So in the big scope of things, I am building a shack. 2:04:43 PM Google It!

Pass This Along: 20-Day Live Webcast to Raise Awareness of Internet Radio! Las Vegas, The Entertainment Capitol of the World, is hosting a 20-day live webcast to raise awareness for the plight of small Internet broadcasters. Countdown to Save Internet Radio can be seen and heard beginning October 1 at www.saveinternetradio.net.  The webcast will feature a mix of music (80's, 90's and today), talk, interviews and fun. There will also be daily updates and special reports pertaining to the Internet Radio Fairness Act (H.R.5285) and (H.R.5469), the recently announced bill to provide a six-month stay of all obligations of webcasters and broadcasters to pay performance fee royalties while an appeal is pending. Proceeds from the webcast will benefit the International Webcasting Association Legal Defense Fund. In addition, a fund raising and awareness campaign will begin with a webcast supported by the IWA beginning on Tuesday, Oct. 1 in Las Vegas. Committee members Ann Gabriel of Gabriel Media and Scott Jamar of All Bass Radio are going to be hosting a continuing webcast at a public location in Las Vegas and asking for people to donate to the legal defense fund and sign letters of support for the Internet Radio Fairness Act.
