Do you Yahoo?  Yeah, do you HipHop?  -  Smart Mobs has a great post about Emerging News About Texting Culture.

"Texting is the next generation gap, I think. .... But every time I talk about texting to my peers, they totally don't understand it. There's a whole litany of complaints: It's too hard to type; the screens are too small; why wouldn't I just use email if I want to send a message? This all reminds me of the early 90s, when my friends would wonder why I was spending so much time "on the Net", and make similar complaints: The Net is for weird loner geeks; there's nothing interesting on it; nobody will ever want to read things on a screen. Is there an echo in here?"

I agree that texting is a big deal, if not now then soon.  Much sooner than a lot people think.  Hell, even Karl Rove is porting a Blackberry.  Oh, and apparently so are members of Congress (or perhaps their duly designated representatives).

Laziness is a Virtue - here on the banks of the Lazy Mississippi, I spot in the distance something going on that is trying to harness the power of laziness, with the power of the web, to come up with something useful for everyone, including lawyers.  Denise is keeping tabs.

Marty Schwimmer takes on the New York Times - and appears to have the upper hand.  His post is related to the latest brouhaha over copyright term extensions, which is much discussed in the wake of Eldred.

My new recording studio!!! - from Technology and Music, Good Partners

"This is a recording studio, believe it or not. It's a four-track recorder and mixer. It stores MP3 data files on a Compact Flash card, and includes equalization and several useful audio effects.

I'm in Anaheim, and found this Pocketstudio in the Tascam booth at the International Music Products Association annual winter trade show. The device is an example of how music and technology have intersected to the benefit of musicians everywhere." [via Dan Gillmor's eJournal] [via The Shifted Librarian]
