"“It’s a dead business,” said John Dillard, who pioneered the commercial farming of catfish in the late 1960s. Last year Dillard & Company raised 11 million fish. Next year it will raise none. People can eat imported fish, Mr. Dillard said, just as they use imported oil. As for his 55 employees? “Those jobs are gone.”" - edythe via Bookmarklet
Given the state of energy and transport costs, which will only continue to rise, it surprises me that this is not turning around. - Michael W. May
It's starting to get to the point where the idea of wrapping a metaphorical towel around my face and pretending that nothing exists but me, my friends and the people I find interesting. Everything else just seems to spell "DOOM!" - Dan Kaplan
"Keith King, the president of Dillard & Company, calculates that for every dollar the company spends raising its fish, it gets back only 75 cents when they go to market." I'm not sure if transport costs are factored into this, but domestic producers have to transport their goods also. - Ontario Emperor
i didn't like catfish, anyway. - Jay Tannenbaum

I remember when I first arrived on the Reed College campus in August 1979. "Rock Lobster" was BLASTING out of one of the windows in the Old Dorm Block. In retrospect, the end of the song drags a little. - Ontario Emperor via fftogo

"Thanks for the comments folks." - Colin Walker
An additional comment (I'm mobile at the moment): could it be that the third party apps that wither and die are the apps that themselves are not blessed by a sound business plan? For example, I could conceive of a service that searched for tweets that mentioned both Milli Vanilli and Slim Whitman. If I had to pay for API access, I could argue that my creativity had been stifled. But if I had chosen a project which interested consumers, and for which data existed, perhaps the money to fund API access could be found. - Ontario Emperor via fftogo

Pandora
Ontario Emperor bookmarked a song on Pandora

Assemblage 23 got its start in 1988, when at a Depeche Mode concert, founder Tom Shear heard the opening DJ spinning industrial dance music. Prior to hearing this type of music, Shear had been creating primarily synth-pop and post-punk type music, as well as playing bass in a punk band. Hearing industrial music for the first time proved to be something of an epiphany for Shear, as he had finally found a form of music that combined the electronic sounds he loved from his synth-pop background with the heavier, darker aggression punk represented. - Ontario Emperor

Working fine for me. I'm currently listening to music on the site. - James Ferguson
If it is, it is clearly Brandon's fault! :) - RAPatton
Actually, I'll blame it on IE6, which seems to be a popular scapegoat. - Ontario Emperor
Finally got through, and was directed to a new (for me) page http://www.last.fm/home - Ontario Emperor
Explanation of new interface - http://blog.last.fm/2008/07/17... - I'm still trying to figure out the philosophical difference between a "playlist" and a "library." - Ontario Emperor
Still having connection issues. Argh. http://mrontemp.blogspot.com/2... - Ontario Emperor
Woah. It just sort of stopped working for me. I must have been using it while they performed the "upgrade" to the site. After a minor hiccup, I'm back to listening to music. - James Ferguson
Still having problems, even with IE7. http://mrontemp.blogspot.com/2... I should note that I'm not using the last.fm software, preferring to use the web player instead. (I don't want to load one more software program on my computers if I don't have to.) Is everyone else in the room using the last.fm software? - Ontario Emperor
I normally play my own library via foobar2000 or through the last.fm desktop software, both of which is fine. Trying the flash player now and am not having any issues in FF3. I do have the latest flash; dunno if that could be your issue at work or not (doubtful at home). It does seem you must be logged in to use the flash player, though. Opera is crapping out with the "Opps" without being logged in, works when logged in. That seems key: Log in. - Michael W. May
I'm logged in, for what it's worth. - Ontario Emperor
Yeah, figured you were :| - Michael W. May
I went in a few minutes ago; aside from a definite shortening of some of the tracks I "loved" previously, I had no issues. - Helen
Upgraded Flash to 9,0,124,0. Got an "Oops!" the first time I tried to play something on my page, then it worked the next time. Turns out the item that I clicked was my playlist, which it started to play in order (and if there was only a 30 second sample, it would just play that). I just selected a specific full track which is playing fine. Will try to play my library next, if I can find it. - Ontario Emperor
Also, double check your settings (drop down, upper right) and ensure things are set to play only in the flash player, since you don't have app running. - Michael W. May
"Play music in-page" is checked, but good suggestion. - Ontario Emperor
last.fm is having a major "revolt" over new version- http://friendfeed.com/nicefish... - also added a blog with a little more information- http://www.nicefishfilms.com/b... - Nice Fish Films
Some of this is to be expected - even if you brought out a bug-free new version that retained all of the features of the old version, someone would get mad at the color scheme. But I still can't play my library, and I just found out what happened to the 100+ items that fell off my playlist - as of now, playlists have a max of 200 items. At least I (in the US) have Pandora access... - Ontario Emperor
Most people are uncomfortable with change. - Jason Toney

Stanford historian Steve Blank on "The Secret History of Silicon Valley" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... When you go to the Computer History Museum (highly recommended), the earliest machines were all military in nature. - Jason Wehmhoener
The first one that pops into my mind is military, starting with the Internet itself. - Ontario Emperor
The commercialization of military technology. - Andrew Smith
Military.For those who haven't seen it, here's a tour around the Computer History Museum with Gordon Bell (the guy who started the museum). http://www.google.com/search?h... - Robert Scoble
Agree with all of the above comments and would add- http://tinyurl.com/army-psych-... and thanks to Jason for the "History" link, a new favorite! - Nice Fish Films
Otherwise. I think it's built into the way the technology works. Military interests were absolutely a useful bootstrap, but Moore's Law is unique. Boots and parachutes and helicopters are also the recipients of a lot of interest by the military, but you don't see them getting twice as effective every 18 months. - ⓞnor
Yah, where are my seven league boots, anyway? nor has a point, but I think "useful bootstrap" is a bit of an understatement. - Jason Wehmhoener
the military invents all kinds of things; the humble M&M was invented for/by the military for field rations, hence the melt in your mouth not in your hands - RAPatton

I ran through my cafe punch card and was eligible for free coffee this morning. Normally, I always get the smallest size because it's all I need. She offered me a larger size and, without hesitation, I shrugged and said, 'Sure, why not?' This is far more coffee than I needed or even wanted but here I am with it. - Akiva Moskovitz
One of our biggest enemies is greed (but I'll be more than happy to absorb the coffee :) - Charlie Anzman
And even now nearly just upended it onto a 1,700-page programming reference. - Akiva Moskovitz

Americans? How about humans? - Hutch Carpenter
And that is why we have the 7-11 Double Gulp. :) - Harvey Simmons
Reminds me of a blurb from a GTA SA Radio Ad - "What?! You mean this isn't the greatest country in the World?" - Yuvi
Considering the portion sizes at most American restraunts, I tend to agree with you - Jason Kaneshiro
Motto: Bigger is better. :) - Hao Chen
Underlying motivation - if you turn down something for free, even if you don't need or want it, you are perceived as stupid. By the way, I'm selling a printed collection of all of my 2008 blog posts for US$1,000,000 - but I'll throw in printed copies of my 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, and 2003 blog posts ***AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE!*** How can you turn that down? - Ontario Emperor

When my girlfriend was new to living in China, she asked a friend to teach her how to say "I'm an American, and I don't speak Chinese" but she got the pronunciation wrong. She found out later that she'd been saying "I am America and you are a camel" to people for several weeks. - Jason Wehmhoener
