Why iTunes has bands on the run

Wednesday, July 30, 2003

Explores a growing split in how musicians and their fans view online digital music services. Some bands say fans downloading only a song or two dilutes the artistry they put into creating an album of songs, but customers, on the other hand, like being in control.

Middlebury, VT

Heading to Vermont again, this time to Middlebury.  Driving up to meet M in Woodstock and on to Burlington for an early check-in at the hotel.  Picking up V at the airport for the presentation in the morning.  Should be interesting!

Update:  Had dinner at SmokeJacks.  Best grilled tofu I’ve ever had.

Mood type

Monday, July 28, 2003

Mood Letters. Why cast typefaces in “immutable metal” when digital offers so much more possibility? Such was the attitude brought by Erik van Blokland and Just van Rossum of the Dutch design firm, LettError to a competition to create a “civic typeface” for the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, as reported by Matthew Mirapaul in The New York Times (7/24/03). The competition was sponsored by the University of Minnesota Design Institute, and the winner, chosen from among six entries, is best described as “a typeface that can’t make up its mind.”

TELECOMMUTING IS THE NEW 9 TO 5

A recent survey conducted by The Economist Intelligence Unit on behalf of
AT&T predicts that four out of five companies will use remote workers by
2005, compared with only 56% today. The advent of more affordable (and
workable) networking technology, combined with a corporate drive toward
globalization is making telecommuting a practical option for many
companies. As complaints from managers leery of overseeing remote workers
have subsided, companies are finding that telecommuters actually deliver
more productivity—an average of 60 minutes more a day—than
office-based workers. In addition to the productivity boost, businesses
also benefit from reductions in their office overhead and rent by allowing
employees to work from home. “Teleworking will mean the evolution of the
office of the future. The technology behind home working will equally bring
benefits for fixed offices, allowing them to upscale and downscale quickly
and easily, as well as encouraging the creation of temporary, effective
office environments,” says AT&T’s Kevin Harvey.  (Silicon.com 16 Jul 2003)
