Hail to the Thief, Again

Everyone's favorite band to claim to like is giving us all more reason to claim to like them. Radiohead's next album, In Rainbows, which will be available October 10, will be released for download on their website. The price? You choose. Any price will do, according to Radiohead, including $0.00.

In a tip of the hat to the music sharing community, the band, whose contract with EMI has lapsed, is testing the power of the internet media revolution, and the good will of its fans. What price will you choose?

That's the question keeping media companies up at night, as all media becomes downloadable, shareable, free. What price will consumers choose? Only Radiohead may know.

Acholi Beads

I've spent the last couple months working with my mom and older sister to set up a new, socially proactive business. We call it Acholi Beads. We've hired some displaced people from the Acholi region of northern Uganda to make beautiful beaded jewelry, which we are now selling in America!

Over the last week I've been setting up a website for Acholi Beads. I'll be slowly developing it in the coming months, but I'd love for you to take a look if you have a moment. I just changed the color scheme and added some photo ablums, for your viewing pleasure.

And by 'slowly developing it,' I mean pushing through my own e-ignorance like swimming thru molasses, then updating the site at Gulu-net speeds, which compare to internet speeds like a pogo stick compares to the Starship Enterprise.

BIG thanks go out to my good friend Aaron for his guidance and help in all of my e-dventures, and this one in particular.
