I <3 Fake Steve Jobs

A while ago Jeff turned me on to Fake Steve Jobs, the satirical blogger pretending to be Steve Jobs. If you’re not reading him yet, you’re really missing out.

And FSJ isn’t just about humor. One of his posts today totally summed up the threat iTunes presents to the music industry in a very concise way. I hadn’t seen this described so simply before.

Fake Steve Jobs might not be the real Steve Jobs but he’s brilliant, whomever he is.

Train In Vain

I showed up at the train station at 5:30 this morning only to be told the train would be over three hours late! There I was: wide awake at 5:30, with a full tank of gas and an empty road ahead of me. I hopped in my car and drove up instead. By the time my train left Raleigh at 9:02 AM I was already north of Richmond.

I don’ t understand how a train could already be three hours behind at 5:30 AM on a holiday, when the freight trains aren’t running. Sometimes I think the government mismanages Amtrak just so they can use them as a bad example.
