In Darknet, J.D. Lasica illustrates the choices between old medias push business strategy for serving up music, film, books, anything else; and, the 21st century consumers desire to choose the time, the place, the medium for using digital files; the pull culture. The author shows that the new consumer is not an illegal download junkie, but rather someone who wants convenience on his own terms and, yes, is willing to pay a fair price for creative content. This is an excellent book. It is not a conspiracy theory book. If it were, I would not be writing about it.

Entertainment companies have alienated their customers. Their customers feel that media companies have shortchanged most of their creative talent, failed to produce what customers want to buy, and are now attacking their customers. The entertainment companies are still living the Hollywood studio dream of power and influence.

Whilst Claire Races Out The Door Yet Again

July 14th, 2005 | Category: Games

My 6-year-old niece is spending the next couple of days here, which means a lot of Frogger and Kim Possible and The Sims for her, and a dearth of new, exciting posts for you.

In the limited time I could lure her away from the computer (“Claire! Isn’t that the . . . ice cream truck??!?”), I managed to rediscover this. It’s a slightly reworked version of a sniper game I saw a month or so ago. Pick off the little men before they start shooting back at you.

Or if you’d prefer to shoot at little penguins (with llama spit, I think), you can try this. It’s the latest from Yeti Sports.

Be apprised of the typical game noises if at work.
