He's a guest blogger at BoingBoing, and has written an article for PC Magazine predicting big things for blogging (even though he admits that he's been critical of blogs in the past).  I don't care much for Dvorak, and I think he's just trying to get attention for himself and he knows that bloggers will carry his message.  And you know what?  He's right.

"Ari Fleisher tells the New York Times how TiVo has changed the job of White House press secretary: 'What I'll do is TiVo CBS, watch ABC at 6:30 and then watch NBC at 7. Typically the White House news is the first five minutes or so, and I'll TiVo CBS's TiVo CBS's first five minutes, rewatch it between 6:35, 6:40 and 7. So I can have watched the White House news from all three networks by 7:05, 7:10. '"  [via Taegan Goddard's Political Wire]

I wonder when Jack Valenti is going to admit that he's using a TiVo?  Everyone else is.

Larry Lessig notes: Dastar decided -- correctly.

"The Supreme Court has unanimously decided the Dastar case -- and correctly. The issue was whether a film producer could be held $1.5m liable for using a public domain film without giving credit to the former copyright owner. The decision is being described as a loss for 20th Century Fox. It is more accurately a gain for the public domain."

[via Lessig Blog]

Sounds like a no-brainer to me.  Glad to hear that the Supreme Court can still handle the no-brainers.

In recognition of today's FCC vote that will allow further consolidation of media ownership (as if we don't have enough of that already), I thought I'd share with you lyrics from a song that randomly appeared on my new iPod.  The song is from Tom Petty's latest album (The Last DJ):

There goes the last dj
who plays what he wants to play
and says what he wants to say
hey hey hey
there goes your freedom of choice
there goes the last human voice
there goes the last dj

I like my new iPod (15 GB model) and I'm looking forward to populating it with a lot music from my friends who have made their own CDs and MP3s and those who just want to find more people who like their music.  I stopped listening to the radio for music a long time ago.  Probably about the time that the last DJs were being phased out.
