Road tripped 
| | Taking it real slow on my drive back to Santa Barbara from an excellent DIDW. Meaning I stop often to snooze or eat or otherwise avoid driving while sleepy. Getting ready to leave a Starbucks in Salinas, load up with fresh podcasts. Crucial for banging on the steering wheel as I cruise down the 101: Tony Steidler-Dennison's The Roadhouse Podcast. |
| | [Later...] Got in safely at about 2am. Stayed awake from Pismo Beach to Orcutt by recording what might end up being my first podcast. It was practice, but wasn't all that bad, considering the gear (a laptop and its built-in mike) and the circumstances (sleepy driver, rental car with plenty of road noise). I'd put it up for the hell of it if I weren't afraid of the copyright police — since I talked along with several pieces of music (surely not podsafe) heard on the car radio, but originating from my iPod, which was hooked up to a little transmitter. |
| | Lots of interesting issues there. I have an idea for solving many of them at once. You'll read about that idea, if all goes well, in the August issue of Linux Journal. Parts of it were already in my head (and in a column-in-progress); but the whole picture came together somewhere between Salinas and King City, listening to Tony on the Roadhouse. I'm not going to say any more than that for now. Need to get to bed, anyway. |

Head out
| | He's serious: If you plan your business to cope with this end of the tail, you'll be perfectly placed to reap economies of scale as you attack from below both the niche seekers and those still mesmerised by the Big Head. |
