Hulu, an on-line joint venture (JV) video streaming service, was beta launched in October. I signed up and my beta invitation came through yesterday. The major JV partners include NBC Universal and Fox. The site is of course intended to be the on-line distribution channel for NBC and Fox - as opposed to YouTube.
I’ve done […]

When I read technical or interesting (not necessarily mutually exclusive) documents, I yellow-highlight the stuffing out of them. It’s the only way I have a prayer of remembering what I’ve read. However, this practice leads to a build-up of paper. Which is annoying. Not at all Green. And a fire hazard.
A few weeks ago, I […]

I was very excited by Radiohead’s In Rainbows “pay what you want” download experiment. I paid about $12 which was a bit high, but I really wanted to support their efforts. However, evidently, only about 35% of us wanted to support Radiohead’s efforts in any manner. Everyone else downloaded the album for free.
That’s just so […]

I have to say, I really like NPR’s ambitious new music site, NPR Music. A very broad selection of good music - runs the gamut from classical to jazz to rock/pop/folk. For music browsing, it’s much better than MySpace or Amazon. The combination of a printed story and a concert form provide a much deeper […]

Today was not a good day on the World Series Ticket front. I was sooo close - twice!!!!! And the bleepin’ MLB ticket site booted me out as I was entering credit card information. I was crushed beyond belief - and furious.
See my email to the Rockies below:
I managed to get in on the web […]

Ah - it’s so much fun when baseball and technology cross paths. As I blogged earlier today, the Ski Boy in Florida, Lucy in Denver, and me in Anchorage, were all set and ready to go at 10:00 AM MDT when the Rockies opened up on-line sales for World Series tickets. I had real doubts […]

Here I am in San Francisco at the Digital ID World conference and through the miracle of the Anchorage Daily News “breaking news” email alerts, I’m in the loop on the Pete Kott corruption trail. The jury notified the judge 15 minutes ago that they’ve arrived at a verdict. So, I’ll be watching my email […]

Whew - it took Mike from Green-Beast to track down the problem. And it was stupidly obvious - I did a post late Friday afternoon crowing about my abilities with the div tag. Well, that stupid post actually used div in the tag form and it was of course valid html. As Mike said, “You […]

I’ve tried everything I can to fix my blog, but since I’m not php knowledgeable, there’s not a ton I can do. I tried brute force deduction methods such as file compares, but I just could not find the problem. I’ve called in the big guns. Hopefully Mike at GreenBeast can help me out. sigh…
