The Hopp Stop

Interesting interview for the fans.

Yikes, the Sports Guy takes a look at the NBA's cash flow problems.

Look at the Union Square retail situation. A Skechers (or some competitor) store also just closed on Market by the Rite Aid on the map, across from the Four Seasons hotel. I don't know anyone who shops at that Virgin--super expensive compared to Amazon, and a pedestrian selection compared to Aquarius, Rasputin or Amoeba.

Analysis of whether the Kindle 2's read-out-loud feature is a derivative work.

Good review. I've had my Kindle 2 for a day and agree with just about everything in the review. The biggest upgrade so far, as Ars highlights, is that reading newspapers (and magazines) is now viable on the device, due to a faster screen refresh and improved navigation within periodicals.

Just downloaded this from eMusic, pretty good rating from Pitchfork. Indie rock all-stars!

Sweet! Marco Arment, the Instapaper developer, now has a Kindle 2 in hand and is optimizing Instapaper for it.

Interview with AC Newman.

Kickass, Dino is working on a new album due out this summer. And J. Mascis looks hilarious, just like when we saw him at Slim's last year.

Yikes. I don't like the data storing provision one bit.

I've been toying with installing OS X on my Samsung netbook, but haven't because 1) it's not idiot-proof--I can do it, but a bit of a pain, 2) no sound output currently under OS X and 3) Windows has been fine for all the net-related activities I do when away from my Mac Pro.

Very slick. Time for some improved features from Apple.

Bummer!

I could watch this clip once a day and never get tired of it.

Mike Leach is the best. About as far removed from your standard football coach as possible (he's the Texas Tech coach).

Some good stuff on divorce from the Logic of Life. I'm going to have to check this book out.

Nice, the Pineapple Express clip from the Oscars.

Hilarious. "If you see only one version of Forrest Gump this year, see Benjamin Button."
