Blog content presented as-is. The majority of these posts are at mininum five years old. I may also start posting here again more frequently. Or I may not. Since 2011, Tumblr has gotten more of my blogging attention. You should try me over there instead.
I just finished the first of many more long days at my inaugural visit to Austin & SXSW Interactive. I saw lots of interactive design celebrities, some great panels, some not-so-great panels and tons of stuff in between. Here’s my report.
Just two weeks ago I whined about the lack of proper alphabetization in an iTunes/iPod world. The folks at Apple must’ve heard my cries.
Sure, it’s only February, but I’ve already heard a ton of albums worth mentioning, and there are plenty more coming down the pipe.
This is a list I’m going to keep updating throughout the year as I hear new albums. It could be interesting, or a total waste of time. I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
UPDATE: added Bright Eyes, Timbaland
Where: The Showbox, Seattle, WA
When: February 15, 2007
Who: Gomez and Ben Kweller
Two of my favorite artists in recent years, Gomez and Ben Kweller played the Showbox Thursday night, and I was there.
I have succombed. After eight years of forcing proper alphabetization of my now-massive digital music collection, I have moved to the defacto standard of first name/last name artist listings. I do it begrudgingly. Two big questions stuck in my head as I spend about five hours retagging files: is proper alphabetization even necessary? And why didn’t someone think up a solution for this a long time ago?
