This is cool. Spamradio.com. Some evil genius is recording his computer reading spam he receives aloud to the sound of light ambient noodling. And it's all streamed in MP3 around the clock. On a dial-up, open this URL in an MP3 player:
http://relay.spamradio.com:8000/spam_low
If you have a faster connection use:
http://relay.spamradio.com:8000/spam
On an apple use iTunes. Go to Advanced -> open stream... and paste in the url. On Windows I guess use WinAmp or something similar. Not sure on those instructions.
Like listening in on the New Age flavored collective unconscious of the modern techno capitalistic world.
Dave Winer has New York Times headlines flowing through Radio 8. That's cool, but I'm with Bill Seitz in wanting to know more about the architecture. Is it really something new? Does this signal a change in direction at the NYT? Or are the headlines just out there (like they are/were with AvantoGo) but with all the back end negatives still in place?
I don't care that much about the headlines. What we want is to be able to point to articles and be sure our readers will see the same thing we are pointing to - not a redirect to a useless sign in page, or not a note saying the article is no longer available. I'm trying to build something permanent here. And we want google to be able to index them too.

Close call for spaceship earth. That's at least the third time I've seen a CNN story use that asteroid impact graphic.
Over the weekend we met a little puppy on Long Island. MB and I (and everyone else) really liked her. She is incredibly sweet. Now it turns out she needs a home. I know I probably shouldn't but we're both tempted. Feel free to talk some sense into me...
Here's a picture of the puppy sleeping with Theo.
