RIP Chris Whitley



Chris Whitley died of cancer on Sunday.  There's a great quote in this article about him:



"What I came to terms with by making some
small indie records and meeting other people who work in that way is
that, hey, if a record doesn't do blockbuster numbers, then that's OK,"
Whitley told Billboard in 2001. "I feel more comfortable with my place
in the culture now and the fact that I don't have to fear the cool
police or this cult of youth."

Sony anti-customer technology roundup and time-line

Boing Boing has been tracking
the Sony rootkit controversy.  This is an awesome piece of code
found on regular Sony audio CDs that screws up your PC (Mac or Windows)
so that Sony can do what they want to it.  Oh yeah - their removal
tool screws up your Windows installation.  Plus it creates a huge
security hole that has already been exploited by hackers. 



Thanks a lot, Sony.

email time capsules

This is pretty cool - write an email to yourself and Forbes will email it to you after 1, 3, 5, 10 or 20 years.



It's kinda like your own personal 42-up.
