Garfield and Zuckerman

I saw this videoblog post from Steve Garfield. In it, Ethan Zuckerman is talking about Ben Franklin, but I’ll be damned if he doesn’t look just like him to me. Was this deliberate irony from Steve or just happenstance?

Seeing and Hearing

A couple things that I have particularly liked:

Steve Garfield did a great interview with my man Tony Kahn. I’d like to think that if my work of say, the last year, has been influenced by anyone predominantly it is Tony. Once things were up and rolling, his challenge to reach for something deeper that can be done with the medium is a challenge I take seriously and is always in my mind when I flip on the record button.

The newest episode of Security Now has more information on the Sony DRM rootkit (no permalink for the show, naughty Steve Gibson). Some of what I was assuming was wrong, but there is a bunch of good information in here. It set my ass straight and quick. I urge anyone that cares to give this a listen.
