The new mode of delivery I am thinking of is digital distribution of audio products. I do purchase music as a digital format less often than most people think. The reason is that most delivery methods are compressed. I do believe that compression should be applied judiciously. Not all compression is bad, as I sit listening to music on my iPod on a plane. I decided the quality of music is the item I want for this application.
I think that people suck. I do not think that persons suck, just that people in general are very self centered and do not think of anyone but themselves. I know that this statement is odd coming back from a vacation, as typically that is when you think most people get more relaxed, and I did. It was also a chance for me to people watch and think about how people interact with each other. My friends don’t suck, it is people in general that suck. I do think the situation is curable – we just have to think about others and how we might impact them.
Another blog post written at 32,000 feet as that is when the issue hit me. I have various electronic devices as my dedicated reader knows. I have previously talked about various data access connection challenges. This new challenge is not one of my own doing. It is a poor user experience or use case definition.

Hello dear reader. It has been a while since I had more than 140 characters’ worth of time to write recently. This statement is not a complaint it is a fact. The reason for this situation is that I have been working on my photo processing skills of photos I have taken.
As I was returning from a trip, I was surprised to find that my checked luggage weighed in at 58.2 pounds. When I was unpacking, I weighed everything as I removed it. To easily tally heavier things that was measured in pounds and things in ounces, I converted everything to ounces for the calculations. It [more]
At times I have trouble keeping track of what is where in terms of data. A couple of friends recommended Dropbox to me, so I finally checked it out and am amazed at how fast and powerful it is so far. By using the links to Dropbox with a referral code (the ones on this [more]
So in a previous post I commented on how I was not sure that Electronic Books might not be perfect. Well Amazon did something that I had not thought of: they took back a purchase. Basically they deleted George Orwell’s books 1984 and Animal Farm from users’ Kindles due to rights issues. The complete stories [more]
First let me say that this is somewhat stream of “thoughts” rather than a more formallized blog as I landed literally 90 minutes ago after 13 hours on a plane. I will come back and create more entries from these snippets. I left the hotel at 10:00PM Dubai Time, which is 2:00PM EDT. I then [more]
Berry in Dubai… Yup when one goes around the corporate IT and talks with people, they can get your Blackberry working in mere moments. Why I could not get through to anyone when I called… well they also changed that. Gotta love when someone just says I will take care of it, and does. Even [more]
