La Bamba on the Subway
Up until the stop where the guitar players got on it had been a rough ride, in a crowded car, in the wrong direction. Even after getting back to the surface my trip wasn’t getting any better. I still managed to walk in the wrong direction and make 4 consecutive wrong turns in a row. But thats another story.
These two guitar players played La Bamba between one of the stops. Not everyone was as pleased as me but then, as Dad would always say, “Simple minds are easily amused”. Considering how turned around I was it definitely applied to me that day.
Tech Community Experiences: YouTube and Fair Use
The Coding Horror blog has an interesting and informative entry about his experiences posting video to YouTube for his blog. From a legal standpoint it’s thought provoking and from a technical standpoint the technology employed by Google (erm I mean YouTube) is impressive. If you’ve posted content created by someone else, thought about posting, or every wondered how YouTube handles copyright complaints it’s an interesting read.

Reflecting On The Impending Fall
No, not the economy; autumn is upon me.
For two weeks this tree has become a deeper shade of red each and every day. My seasonal thermometer, reminding me every day that summer is gone and autumn is in full spring.
Quote: Perfect English Autumnal Days
It was one of those perfect English autumnal days which occur more frequently in memory than in life.
