Six Seconds

I’ve been spending more time reading and listening to music. When I get online, my time is usually focused on researching the things I’m reading/hearing.

I stumbled across this video about “The World’s Most Important 6-Second Drum Loop.”

It’s a very simple piece. I thought it was fascinating.

Get a drink. Sit down. Relax. And listen…

Snow White and the Seven DJ’s

I know, I know. It’s more video filler crap. Life is busy…but this stuff entertains me.

Filler

Any food that is prepared to be “the consistency of gall stones in rubber cement” cannot be food.

When mixed with corn fungus?

You have moved into the realm of insanity…

Filler.

A thought about blogs…

I read a ton of blogs. Some of them are written by my close friends, for their close friends. Others are written for the public and discuss general topics. The latter are usually written by experts in a field.

I think the personal blogs are a dying breed. If you look at myspace or facebook, they provide functionality similar to what most blog platforms provide but add a ton of other perqs like photo management, games and toys, networking tools, and more.

I’ve been debating what to do with this site for many months. More of my ‘updates’ are going to facebook than here because that’s where my friends spend their time. When I update this site, a status link automatically propagates ‘down’ to facebook…but most of my readers are now either coming through RSS feeds or through a facebook click. (For you random people who get here through Google or Wikipedia, hi there!!!)

It takes work to keep this site running. It would be very easy to decomission the website, leave the email running, and just use the tools that facebook provides.

What do you think? Should I let this site spin down? Should I worry that facebook ‘owns’ content that is stored on its servers? Should I worry that facebook will one day be obselete and I’ll have no way to ‘migrate’ my content to the next-thing-to-follow-facebook-and-myspace?
