It was SO beautiful up there. http://david.weekly.org/news/99jul29.php3 -----<< New Writings >> I've interviewed Alex Blok, who very well may be the Original Music Man. Alex was thinking about solid-state portable players a full decade before the MP-Man, Rio, or Nomad. Check it out! http://david.weekly.org/writings/alex.php3 I've also written up my opinion as to why online music sales have not yet been completely realized: it's not a technology problem, but a people problem. http://david.weekly.org/writings/music_psychology.php3 -----<< EPAC Update >> The deal that I had been rumoring to happen a full 2 months ago officially fell through. =/ I may or may not get to test EPAC, and if I do I certainly will not be able to hand out audio samples unless I do some interesting trickery. This was pretty disappointing...I may pick up the codec reviews for the other formats though, if people are still interested. -----<< Book Progress >> I got my contract in the mail and now have an ISBN, which means that my book is officially happening! I'm a tad scared but also excited! -----<< Radio Talk Show >> I was on Jack Moffit's AudioToday program last night with Gene Hoffman, the President/CEO of eMusic (a very froody guy): have a listen if you are interested in the general babble. http://radio.audiotoday.com/ ----------------<< F I N >>----------------------
