Well, it's happening again. We put an offer down on a townhouse in Hillsborough. Barring unforeseen loan issues, we'll be moving there in October.

There are a few things I will miss about this house here on Williams Circle. As I write in the dining room, something that I do on a very rare occasion (sad to say), I think that the tinkling of the chandelier as the air conditioner blows... yes, this is one of those things that I will miss.

Great. First, they destroy Internet radio. Now they're going after the music and movies we actually pay for. From WebTvWire:

"The broadcasting industry is keen to put controls on sharing media between devices even if those devices are on a home network and even if the sharing is strictly for personal use.

"When pressed as to why broadcasters would want to do this, Burger replied simply ‘because they want you to pay for that right’."

So it begins: the fight to ensure that IP is never ownable, only rentable. And they wonder why people prefer to download their stuff DRM-free from P2P networks. Morons.

Latest article is up at ROI. This one is about not stepping on the toes of your Google Analytics (or any script-based analytics) installation.

Which raises the question: do analytics even have toes?

Bonus points because I was able to insert both a reference to World of Warcraft and to JoCo.
