So I’m using this new service, that MC Caples turned me onto called LaLa…which to my mind, upon initial inspection…is deeply flawed…meaning…while elegant, I don’t see the business model as usurping the iTunes Music Store (ITMS) anytime soon. Here’s why.

It’s Over. Franken Gets His Senate Seat.
This has been an incredibly long road…to see Norm Coleman abandon his pursuit of the seat is a great relief…and I think a wonderful opportunity for Al to put his money where his mouth is. Having the man who wrote and read, “Lies and the Lying Liars who Tell Them” sit on a senate committee or debate legislation on the floor will, without question, be the highlight of this falls C-SPAN programming.
iPhone: The Palm Pre is here. *Yawn* – for how long?
Ok, I’ve been reading every damn post, article, tweet, and blog post re: PALMs new Pre smartphone. And have come to the conclusion that the Pre will not be an iPhone killer out of the gate. Here are my reasons:
Video: Google Wave – Is it a Killer App?
I’ve just watched a video from Google IO 2009, where Lars and Jens, the guys who created everyone’s favorite map tool, Google Maps, have just unveiled Google Wave.
NYT: Oracle to buy Sun for 7.4 Billion
Oy, apparently this makes sense…but there’s something about this deal take makes me twitch…maybe it’s Larry’s overuse of “Just For Men”.
PRE PALM PRE: “Let’s keep the momentum going boys…”
Ok, so believe it or not…there were smartphones before the iPhone…in fact, PALM had made quite a few of them…prior to my owning an iPhone, I owned no less than 4 Palm devices…2 of which were smartphones…the Treo 600 and the 650…both of which were handy devices…in fact, for note taking, IMHO, they were better devices than my iPhone…which I still can’t import those notes into w/out a mod…that said…the iPhone blows the Treo away on almost all other counts…as soon as APPL made their phone available…and I managed to get my hands on one…I sold both the iPod and the Treo…because I was sick of having to carry around mulitple devices…
TC: Google in talks with Twitter.
Michael Arrington over at TechCrunch is reporting that Google is talking to the folks over at Twitter about either a possible collaboration or an outright purchase.
iPhone 3.0 Software Sneaks Out Today. How’d I miss this?
MobileCrunch has a very good post re: today’s iPhone 3.0 software update, including a citation of definite cut and paste from Mr. Kevin Rose himself on a recent SXSW Diggnation episode:
Personal Milestone: The Dalai Lama is a follower of mine.
I don’t put a lot of stock into the quantity of Twitter followers…but having people opt in is somehow both comforting and reassuring…however receiving the note from Twitter that His Holiness the Dalai Lama is following me is humbling…and somehow provoking of thought…his presence in my electronic or online life now gives me new questions as to the use of social networking technology as a tool for introspection as well as communications.
