Sleep, who needs sleep?

I'm vertical today but just barely as Mary and I drove for three hours yesterday afternoon down to Kansas City for dinner and the Rush concert. (Yes, they're still around. 30 years and going strong.) The concert was spectacular despite the behavior of some and three hours after they started the show was over. The drive back through a massive storm ended up getting me to bed at 4am. Back up at 7 and into the office by 8, concert t-shrit proudly worn. (I'm such a trooper.) The only disappointing thing was the fact that the venue did not allow cameras of any kind into the show. (I got a bad cell photo or two but they're so bad that I probably won't even post them to flickr.) So, it's off to YouTube to share with you the funniest bit from the whole show: 'lil rush!

SimplifyMedia for Vista

Yes, even us folks running Vista can now share our iTunes libraries over the Internet with Simplify Media. This is my laptop's new favorite software and my hotel room's best friend.

Gamers on a plane

Considering the number of us that might not want to check our gaming consoles (something I'll be bringing on a plane this next Tuesday morning) you might want to be aware of this:

"The previously unannounced rule by the Transportation Security Administration went into effect Saturday and brings game consoles and DVD players under the same regulations as laptop computers, cassette-using video cameras, and certain breathing machines."

Just one more thing to pull out of your bag and place in one of those annoying gray bins.

RE: The Cult of the Amateur

Teresa has pointed out to me that Andrew Keen thinks that Web 2.0 is causing more damage in the UK than in the US. Over there the title of his book has an additional four words — The Cult of the Amateur: How Today's Internet Is Killing Our Culture and Assaulting Our Economy. [emphasis added]
