This makes my whole month

Carvel has come to Austin. I haven't eaten Carvel ice cream in 13 years. I'm happy.

The RIAA oversteps its bounds...again

I guess I'm at least three days late with this, but that doesn't mean the RIAA's strong-arming of the Copyright Royalty Board into setting up most/all webcasters for certain doom doesn't still require a lot of attention from the webcast-listening public. Visit http://www.savenetradio.org/ to stay informed on this matter. This site has links for an online petition (for all the good those do...hopefully this one will be different) or to write your congressperson.

So, I sent a note to the Honorable Mr. Doggett this morning. Previously, Mr. Doggett (or his staff) has been good about responding to constituent concerns, so we'll see what comes of this.
