Good morning. For those of you who might be finding this site via Jenny Levine's The Shifted Librarian (thanks for the link) or from various Weblog Neighborhood lists (thanks to Adam Wendt for the subscription) -- welcome! And speaking of the neighborhood, the most recent harvest for there is no spoon makes me wonder what it all means. I look forward to hearing more about what we might do with these lists. Meanwhile, a few quick links/comments from the aggregator:
I haven't had a chance to fully read The Rise of the Creative Class, but it looks like a good way to help decide where you'd like to move in the next few years. Boston beckons.
Chris Nelson offers some interesting comments about the inherent bias of weblogs. But doesn't this assume it's possible for some medium to communicate without bias? If such a medium exists, I've never heard of it. As far as I'm concerned, one of the major problems with traditional media is that it pretends to be "objective" and unbiased when it is inherently anything but. In this sense, blogs seem a step in the right direction bececause they don't pretend to be what they're obviously not (at least in this regard).
Mac Net Journal thinks this is a good way to make the RIAA mad: Turn Your LPs or Cassettes into CDs. I've been wanting to do this for some time, which is why I bought Toast Titanium. (Now carbonized for OS X.) Toast's CD Spin Doctor is supposed to digitize tapes and LPs, plus Toast comes with the required Y-audio cable to hook your Mac to your analog audio equipment. However, the MacWorld article mentions several other software options that might be worth a look. 9:03:25 AM
