Whipped up my own sample iTunes page. Unfortunately Apple now encrypts the connection with AES128, and their xml syntax seems non-standard.

My ISP, rosenet, goofed and cutoff our connection over the weekend instead of changing the service like I had requested. Finally had it resolved this morning, having to miss 1/2 a day’s work in the process. Anyways, a “slashback” session, as they say:

Have a meeting with a VP (one of hundreds) on Monday. Met him a few years ago and called me in after sending a rant. In prepping, I came across this interview which I hadn’t seen before. It’s a few years old, but interesting to see how our “leader” was thinking and [...]
Had dinner listening to some serious Macintosh history within Sony the other night. Koh took some pictures here. Also met a few who know an ol’ acquaintance from years ago — what a small world. Six degrees is only an average, that’s for sure.
Seems I missed a good show last night. Besides your standard CNN, BBC, MTV, and a few market-related programs, we still only get comedy reruns out here. And that’s already for a relative premium. I’d pay just to have a week’s worth of Tivo’d material…

Brown in the news, investigating its connections to slavery.
Sony in your home?
