Avenue A/Razorfish for sale
I’m perplexed by Microsoft’s apparent desire to sell Avenue A /Razorfish. Avenue A/Razorfish is one of the world’s premier digital advertising agencies that should be able to help MSFT grow in a very attractive (revenue generating) space. There’s talk that the WPP group is interested and that there may be an asset swap, WPP owns the 24/7 Open AdStream ad serving tool. Grabbing another ad server will not help MSFT in their battle with Google. Not only does Google own the Double Click platform, but they have recently launched Google Ad Manager and Google Ad Planner that are going to grab a lot of market share. Wake up Redmond, Avenue A/Razorfish is a peach and should be grown.

Pick of the week: TuneUp
I take my music seriously; I take my music with cream and sugar and the fact is I’ll take my music any way I can get it! iTunes helps me manage the mass of music and finally the little application that could has a new friend, TuneUp has arrived and if you have a PC running iTunes this may be the best piece of software to improve your music enjoyment. Check it here and remember it is still in beta, but the TuneUp crew is working long and hard to buff this application out. Kudos!

Why Mono Matters: Thoughts on the Velvet Underground Album "Andy Warhol"
I’m lucky enough to that my media (music, video, pictures) are accessible to me wherever and whenever I choose. I take these opportunities to consume as much possible without alienating those around me. A never ending challenge. The Velvet Underground’s “Andy Warhol” (mono version) is my latest aural treat that has renewed my lust for mono.
Monaurl recordings produce a resonance like no other. I believe this is due to the high level of authenticity I find in the recordings. They are not sweet. They are sonically lush. Here, try it and hear if you agree.

Consumer electronics and children
Children are supposed to play a lot. Structured or not, play is an essential part of the development process. Does using consumer electronics count as playing? I would like to say yes, but that is because I love consumer electronics. For now the children will have to have little interaction with gadgets and use their imagination and leave the electronic stuff to me.
