People who say life is like high school got it backwards.  

Anyway, come Monday there will be a new temporary host on Rocketboom. Some people think it will be Amber Dawn MacArthur. I happen to have a video of her, with Marc Canter. They both thought they were posing for a picture, but I was actually taking a movie.  

Chris Anderson: "The era of the blockbuster is so over." 

5/13/02: "Perhaps monoculture has run its course." 

Todd Cochrane says Podshow hijacked his podcast. They're doing lots of nasty stuff, for sure. I'm not happy that they're taking over my content, putting their copyright notice on it, creating their own version of my RSS feed, adding their crap, and taking out my copyright. They're really asking for trouble. On a massive scale. For example, here's their version of Engadget's podcast feed. Copyright is "na." Uhhhh. Hmmm. Same with Meet The Press. Here's their program guide. Is your podcast there?

Frank Barnako: "Some bloggers seem to think Amanda is a superstar, sent from above to lead them to mass media dominance." 

Washington Post article on the split at Rocketboom. 

Jeff Jarvis could be instrumental in sorting it out.  

NY Times: "Microsoft's digital device would be equipped with at least one feature the iPod lacks: wireless Internet capability that would allow users to download music without being connected to a PC." 

Boom 

I hope Amanda and Andrew figure out that they have a magic thing, their talent balances each other's and it's not too late to work it out, to get back on track. I don't think either of them will do as well without the other as they would if they got back together.
