Apple does it yet again…

…that is, inspire hot and heavy techno-lust deep within my heart.

Witness, the AirPort Express and AirTunes, a wireless 802.11g repeater with a USB print server built in that just so happens to also have both an analog and optical stereo out. Why, you ask? So that it’s iTunes ready…it will see your iTunes library, and you can push music through it. So anywhere in your house that you have speakers, you can have your complete music library. Wirelessly. Apple is really kicking some serious ass in the multimedia department these days…as far as I can tell, they pwn digital music. iTunes (the best jukebox/organizer/metadata mine for music bar none), iPod (the best small form factor portable music machine in the world), and now the ability to plug a box in the wall and make your music stream to it. The only thing better would be iPods with built in 802.11g for network syncing/streaming.

Interesting new movie trailer

For a new movie, coming out this fall: Saw. Looks like a cross between Silence of the Lambs and Se7en.

Our new house in Sewanee! Got a chance to see it this weekend…great interior, 3 bedrooms, great windows in the living room, and hardwood floors all the way through. Looking more forward to the move now that we’ve seen the house!

More great Creative Commons news…

The BBC is going to be using Creative Commons licenses for their upcoming Creative Archive (an archive designed to give the British people free access to some BBC audio and video productions). Brilliant, and kudos to Lessig for getting named to the board.

Just a quick update…

Betsy and I are heading to TN yet again this weekend, to (hopefully) visit our new house. New address and such forthcoming as soon as everything is official. Blogging at a lull until next week, probably…maybe some updates from TN (with pictures of the new place!).

Lots of driving, but the prospect of driving when you have all the music you own being broadcast wirelessly to your radio…ah, technology. I love ya like I love monkeys. I’ve decided, after careful consideration, that I like my iPod only slightly less than I like breathing and speaking. Thanks again to all who made it possible. 🙂

Excellent new resource for law and libraries

The new LibraryLaw Blog is amazing…full of great info, and cutting edge library/law connections. I hope that more of a discussion community forms as the blog ages. I know I’ll be there!
