Yes. This looks like something I can make use of. Now just to figure out where, and how. .< 11:50:04 PM  >Radio UserLand : Ads in RSS Feeds: "I have started getting ads in the various feeds through the news aggregator" It turned out that this was done in error. But it's only a matter of time. Argh. Let's enjoy this while it lasts. .< 10:08:46 PM >Today's big news: The New York Times on Radio UserLand.  [Scripting News] Congratulations Dave. .< 9:33:45 PM >Works the Young Aren't Supposed to Like (but Do). Hearing Marilyn Nonken perform the complete solo piano works of both Arnold Schoenberg and Pierre Boulez is inspiring. By Anthony Tommasini. [New York Times: Arts] This is a review of a concert but I wonder if our distinguished reviewer isn't picking up on a recently published book. Not that there's anything wrong with that! .< 8:48:33 PM >Paul Kneipp provided an update on Steinberg's new music products: "Steinberg has released new products at this years Frankfurt Music Show including Cubase SX, intended as a replacement for Cubase VST, their top selling audio/midi application. SX will only run on Windows 2000, XP and Mac OSX. The Windows version will be released Q2 2002 with the Mac version to follow. Steinberg says they are still working closely with Apple on OSX drivers, for one thing. Also released : Studio Link, which apparently allows networked computers of any platform to process various audio tasks together in synchronization."[Macintouch] .< 8:37:52 PM >CBC News: Harper wins Alliance leadership: "Stephen Harper has been elected leader of the Canadian Alliance Party. " Big news. And good news, I think. I could never bring myself to vote for this party but it'll be a relief to have a credible (? we'll see) opposition leader . . . and to have Stockwell Day the heck out of the headlines. What a bore! .< 8:21:35 PM >Of hatred and innocence. Filmmakers B.Z. Goldberg and Justine Shapiro discuss their Oscar-nominated "Promises," a wrenching and intimate portrait of the children of Jerusalem. [Salon.com] 'It's disarming to hear this stuff from kids, and the feedback we've gotten reflects that. People come to this issue with very strong opinions, and I think this film really opens hearts. Despite themselves, people end up reengaging with the conflict. A lot of Jews respond to the Palestinians very interestingly, like, I didn't know Palestinians could feel. Most Israelis don't know a Palestinian.' An indepth interview with a couple of the people behind this powerful film. Newsworld has been showing it periodically. .< 8:06:04 PM >Salon.com People | Denis Halliday 'The U.S. somehow doesn't believe that international law applies to this great democracy, to this great empire. We've seen Mr. Bush reject various aspects of international law in the past year. That's a failure on the part of Washington to understand that the U.S. is in fact subordinate to the charter, to the declaration of human rights, to the Geneva Conventions and protocols -- all of which would protect Iraq, a sovereign state and member of the United Nations -- from further harassment, attacks and killings by the United States.' .< 6:48:30 PM >Heuris's Xtractor is a new, $149 utility for "ripping" audio and video streams from unencrypted DVDs on Macs and Windows PCs. [Macintouch] .< 6:34:03 PM >Yahoo! News - Photo: "A full-size fully functional virtual keyboard that can be projected and touched on any surface" Freaky! No tactile feedback. I wonder how long it would take to get used to it. Have a look at the photo. .< 6:11:25 PM >~Georgia: US opens new front in war on terror. Bush sends in 200 crack troops at a cost of $64m to tackle a few dozen militants. [Guardian Unlimited] 'The past six months have witnessed an extraordinary projection of US military power into a vast region dominated by Moscow for the past two centuries, installing American firepower at Soviet-built bases in four countries spanning a 2,000-mile arc from near the Chinese border to the eastern shores of the Black Sea.' We're also talking about an area 300 miles from Iraq. An excellent article for background on the US movement into Georgia. .< 4:13:30 PM >Forbes.com: Apple Goes Hollywood In late February Apple (nasdaq: AAPL - news - people) floored the burgeoning digital filmmaking industry when it quietly bought a company called Nothing Real, which makes the digital special-effects software used in the past four Oscar winners in the "Visual Effects" category: Gladiator, The Matrix, What Dreams May Come and Titanic. The Nothing Real program Shake also helped craft the look of this year's "Best Picture" Oscar nominees Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings and Moulin Rouge, as well as the 2001 "Visual Effects" nominees Pearl Harbor and A.I. Artificial Intelligence. This is a market with sex appeal. And it's one the CEO of Pixar knows a thing or two about. Go Steve. .< 4:06:33 PM >Mugabe rival called to court in Zimbabwe on treason charge Zimbabwe's opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai was called to court on Wednesday to face charges of treason, a week after he was told he had lost the country's presidential election.
