Engadget Podcast featuring Yours Truly
The last 15 minutes of this week’s Engadget podcast features an interview with me ranting about DRM:
Engadget Podcast.24 03.29.2005—Digital video camcorders, readers’ choice for digital cameras; PSP usability quirks; LCD quality levels and defect types; what Apple critics are forgetting in the iTunes/Pymusique battle (C.K. Sample from TUAW joins in); bonus: two videos—an Acterna WinXP [...]

Cornerhost, where I host this site, is moving servers tonight. Everything should automagically re-route to the new location, but there might be a few bumps. See you on the other side.
PSP: Things Needed
Here’s my list of several things that Sony needs to do to make the PSP the must-have gadget for a while:
UMD burner—Sony needs to release a consumer level UMD burner for burning content to the little disks that the PSP accepts. The Memory Sticks are good (in that they are better than nothing), but they [...]

Weekend with the PSP: A Review
I’m loving this machine. I’ve always said that I would love it if they could make a Playstation 2 that is portable; that is basically what the PSP is. The downside of this is that the load times for the games are comparable to the load times of a regular PS2.
Still the graphics and [...]
Dissertation Proposal Progress

Dissertation
I think I’ve finally broken through the block where I’ve been stuck. I now have a solid eight pages of discussion laying down the critical framework for my study. I just read through this introductory bit with Kristin, we discussed it, and from her response, it seems that I am finally managing to [...]
PSP First Impressions
Really friggin’ nice. Fortunately, mine doesn’t appear to suffer from the dead pixel problem that everyone is whining about. I need to get my hands on either PSPWare or iPSP (anyone with any experience with both?), so I can start syncing this bad boy with my 12-inch. In the meantime, several places [...]
PSP
I am a weak, weak man. On a whim and a hunch, I just took a drive up Central Avenue to the out of the way Best Buy that doesn’t really look like a Best Buy, and sure enough they had the PSP in stock. I bought it and Wipeout Pure for it. [...]
DVD Jon Versus The Tyranny of the iTunes Music Store

AppleMatters, DRM
My article, DVD Jon Versus The Tyranny of the iTunes Music Store, is up and ready for reading over at AppleMatters:
Okay, before you all start attacking me for hating on Apple in this article and / or for not simply banning use of the iTMS outright, let’s get some things straight. I consider the iTunes [...]
Professional Blogger
So, I’m several weeks into the tuaw gig now, and really enjoying it. I find myself not only paid to blog (which in and of itself is a rather insane thing to wrap your head around), but I find quite a bit of reader expectations toward my professionalism as a professional blogger (which is something, [...]
Barry Hannah

Literature, Personal
Barry Hannah went to the college (I think he dropped out) where I received my undergrad degree, Mississippi College, a small Southern Baptist college in Clinton, MS. He satirized the school in his novel Geronimo Rex. For most of the literary types at MC who didn’t fall inline with the overly oppressive Southern Baptist [...]
Yesterday

Personal
Yesterday was crazy, but ended fun. In the morning, I woke up and started doing some last minute touch ups on our bathroom and then began furiously cleaning it. After I finished cleaning the bathroom I jumped into the shower and noticed that my wedding ring was gone from my finger. I [...]
