Rock-n-roll time? Another interesting Shockwave timeline: Rock & Roll Timeline. "(...) the Visual Timeline - an interactive, animated compendium of rock and popular music history. Discover unexpected connections between artists. Track the growth of a musical movement. Zoom in on the day the Beatles invaded America, or out to a bird's-eye view of the blues' sweeping influence. It's all here." (Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Museum) - courtesy of thom quine [InfoDesign: Understanding by Design] Viewing required installation of a Shockwave plug-in for Firefox that I didn't have; the direct plug-in installation failed, so I selected manual installation, which appears to have succeeded (after restarting Firefox). The timeline's a bit less than intuitive, but looks to be worth the effort. 10:29:13 AM    Questions? Comments? Flames? []

15 seconds of notoriety Apparently my mention of Doc's mention of Whole Wheat Radio in the recent podcasting linkage earned this blog a mention on WWR. I'm downloading the session right now so I can give it a listen. Oh, and Apple and UPS say the iPod will be here tomorrow. . . Ah, the joy of recursive blogging. 9:37:41 AM    Questions? Comments?
