Stephen Hill took some nice shots at the Commonwealth Club event in San Francisco last night. This was a really good event with an interesting discussion - I think this will be streamed on NPR as well... check back in a few days. "Digital Rights & Wrongs" Panel - a photoset on Flickr.

I converted to Mac... so long Windows

"iPod's impact wows Windows crowd " CNN Tech reports. More than 1 million Windows users bought Mac computers for the first time this year, according to a recent report. PC users are converting to Macintosh computers in growing numbers, thanks in part to the stunning success of the Apple (Research) iPod, the New York Post reported Tuesday. "The 'halo effect' is clearly alive and well," Charles Wolf, an analyst at Needham & Co., told the newspaper." 

I know there is truth to this - I just dumped my windows machines for Apple, with a new PowerBook G4, and... it simply ROCKS.

Gerd Leonhard Guitarist...?

This is me in a band in Germany, back in 1995, with Guitar Crusher and the Nitecats - hear for yourself (I am the Guitar Payer, the song is "Playing with my love"). Thanks to Hutch Hensle for hosting this site and these tracks....  we had some fun with this band!
