The Head Lemur:  "thecustomerproject.com is a domain I created sometime back. I was going to use it to bitchslap companies whose products and services failed the money for stuff test. Well my basic premise remains, my target rich environment has expanded. Beyond companies are legislators. These represent a challenge as they are deaf and blind to folks who only have one vote and no money. I think that the Internet can change that." 

Music piracy 'great', says Robbie.  Pop star Robbie Williams says he believes music piracy is a "great" idea and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it.  [BBC News]

...it's about the BBC delivering music industry rhetoric and calling it news, in my opinion. 

Ross Mayfield posted a graph on his site showing the age distribution of LiveJournal users (via LiveJournal Stats).  That inspired me to look at the data for the ageless project.  Though the sampling is obviously much smaller (ageless has less than 1,400 member sites), it's interesting how the age distribution differs.  It appears the typical LiveJournal blogger is considerably younger than the typical 'ageless' blogger (not all ageless sites are blogs, though most of them are).

 

>>  The coolest gift I got for Christmas was an old fashioned gumball machine full of jelly bellies.  It'll take any coin up to the size of a quarter and you get 5 or 6 jelly bellies with each turn of the crank.  Mmmm good!  Today's pick, on the other hand, only takes quarters but the contents of the machine look almost as tasty as jelly bellies, but I doubt they compare (no - I do not own stock in the company that makes jelly bellies).  With that said and remembering this is supposed to be a site review, not share 'n tell for Joe, I'll just say I like the unique design concept and commend DinoNeil for having the chutzpa to put it out there.  The content's on the techy side, DinoNeil being an admitted geek, and it's refreshing to hear someone answer the question "Why bother?" with "It pleases me."  He goes on, "I may not be the best or the most popular, but I likely enjoy it more than they do. Besides that, I get bored easily and this is a pleasant distraction."  So, today I'm thinkin' "isn't distraction what it's all about?"  ;~]   [Coolstop Daily Pick 1/19/03 via Grayscape < ps -aux < bryanjbusch.com < walled city]

News.Com: RIAA: ISPs should pay for music swapping. Rosen suggested one possible scenario for recouping lost sales from online piracy would be to impose a type of fee on ISPs that could be passed on to their customers who frequent these file-swapping services. [Tomalak's Realm]
