Does this mean Paris Hilton will have to get a real job? I mean, I'm sure she's got lots of qualifications, right? I certainly hope she doesn't end up starving in the street. I mean, any more than she's already starving.

Robyn did the first 5 solo then he brought out his band for the night: Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey & Bill Rieflin. Not a bad surprise! Scott's bass was waaaaay boomy as the recording reflects, still sounds good though. Tape flip 4:22 into Briggs, sorry, slightly jarring, tried to blend it as best I could.

Yup; a day without Paris Hilton in the news is a happy day indeed. In other news: * that famous photographer guy Harrington just passed away. * a major public transit project was derailed in Toronto because the city used the term "rapid transit" in its plan, instead of "surface transit". * Segways have been banned from pavements in Toronto.

All pavements? Including sidewalks? Was there some horrific incident that prompted this? I got a chance to play with the new iPod today. I always dismissed the argument against watching video on the small screen, instead making the point that it's really a playback device for a larger display. However, I must admit that the few minutes of "Lost" I saw were remarkably clear and watchable on the small screen. I still don't understand the $1.99 music videos though. Who is buying those?* - -tc *Wanna guess what the biggest selling video is so far? ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2005 15:38:27 -0400 From: "Brian Nupp" Subject: Re: ipod video tc: >*Wanna guess what the biggest selling video is so far?

No, just that: * motor vehicles are not allowed on the sidewalk * The Segway doesn't meet Ontario rules for road safety as a motor vehicle, so isn't allowed on the road. cheers, Stewart ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2005 16:22:22 -0400 From: Steve Talkowski Subject: Re: Reap (oh dear oh dear oh dear) > *Wanna guess what the biggest selling video is so far? Christopher Walken dancing in that Fatboy Slim video! Yes, I just had to try for myself and downloaded that one first thing yesterday after upgrading to iTunes 6. I'm actually considering the video iPod myself. I would use it to also store photos and house my commercial work and demo reel on as well. Not to mention keeping up with the LOST episodes... Who wants to make me an offer for my 4G 20GB iPod? ;) - -Steve ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2005 17:16:29 -0400 (EDT) From: Aaron Mandel Subject: Re: Reap (oh dear oh dear oh dear) On Thu, 13 Oct 2005, Tom Clark wrote: > I still don't understand the $1.99 music > videos though.

One boob could hold an MP3 player and the other the person's whole music collection. BT futurology, who have developed the idea, say it could be available within 15 years. BT Laboratories' analyst Ian Pearson said flexible plastic electronics would sit inside the breast. A signal would be relayed to headphones, while the device would be controlled by Bluetooth using a panel on the wrist. According to The Sun he said: "It is now very hard for me to thing of breast implants as just decorative. If a woman has something implanted permanently, it might as well do something useful." The senors around the body linked through the electrical impulses in the chips may also be able to warn wearers about heart murmurs, blood pressure increases, diabetes and breast cancer. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2005 17:47:40 -0700 From: Tom Clark Subject: Re: Please forward to "SJ," Tom On Oct 13, 2005, at 5:23 PM, Eb wrote: > http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1570835.html > > Musical breast implants > Computer chips that store music could soon be built into a woman's > breast implants. > > One boob could hold an MP3 player and the other the person's whole > music collection. > > BT futurology, who have developed the idea, say it could be > available within 15 years. > > BT Laboratories' analyst Ian Pearson said flexible plastic > electronics would sit inside the breast.

Magic. > He says it sounds like a good idea, except the industrial design is going to go unnoticed, and that's not acceptable. Clearly not a Mac man, but there is a nugget of genius here.
