NPR Live Concert Series

Posted by Abe on Tuesday, March 14, 2006 @ 11:47 am

My day just got a little better when I discovered this series of live concert recordings on the NPR website (via Hanna Wallach, via Planet Gnome). Lots of great bands, including Belle and Sebastian, M. Ward, Death Cab, Sigur Ros, the White Stripes, and even James Brown, who I, embarrasingly, thought was dead. Most of the shows are in realaudio, but you can grab the Belle and Sebastian show (and maybe others) as mp3. How did I not find out about this before?

Fun with billionaires

Dave Winer pointed to this list of billionaires.

“Have I met any billionaires?” I wondered. “Yes”, I thought, “some of those guys at the Web 2.0 conference probably were billionaires.” But I was curious, and it was a long list, so I wrote a little tool to check. Now you too can check a web page for billionaires. Quick and dirty, regular expressions, etc.

Does using HTTP GET to two different web servers count as a web services mash-up?
