Church of the Customer: The marketing world is flat
Yes, yes, yes. Finally some reasoned arguments to combat the idiocy of worrying about Amazon or Google scanning in your book. I mean, hello? Bookstores and libraries? People have already been doing this for ages!
Disturbing memo to marketers
What if the customer was in charge? Guess what, folks? They already are. Brilliant.

Favourite quote: " I am NOT practical, I am NOT efficient and I am certainly NOT command line." Funny stuff.
How Much Does iTunes Like My Five-Star Songs?
The math behind the iTunes Party Shuffle. Dude. You've got WAY too much time on your hands.
Really Long URLs for Slim-Fast Promo
You know, I really thought the TV ads were a joke - used to be, every time you saw a ridiculously long URL in marketing or magazines, it was tongue-in-cheek.

Re: How Much Does iTunes Like My Five-Star Songs?

I've found that the answer is "not enough." To help party shuffle out, I created a set of smart playlists. For each star rating, a limited number of songs are selected randomly from songs not played within a certain time period (varies with rating). Another smart playlist collects them all and is the source for my Party Shuffle. It has worked great.

The most important thing is knowing. Everything will work out if you just remember to breathe. Chocolate is not for sharing. Beauty is everywhere if you just remember to look for it. Perfection is impossible but improvement can happen every single day. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light. Make a wish. Dance when the music moves you. If it's hard to say, odds are it's what the listener most needs to hear. Wear a new colour. Do that thing that scares you. Love as often as possible.
