MP3 Sushi is a nice OS X wrapping of some open-source music sharing tools like icecast and shout. It even has Rendezvous support!
Still, what I really want is to be able to share whatever I'm currently playing in iTunes, and I haven't found anything that makes that easy yet. What a pain in the ass the DMCA is. 10:47:50 PM ()

I've been re-reading the Hyperion series the past few days. I'm in the middle of book two, and I'm always delighted to rediscover how brilliant and layered the books are. I can't remember; it's possible that I haven't ever read all four books in a row before. I'm looking forward to the experience.
Between Hyperion's space opera and the impending Freelancer, I was feeling impatient for some galactic struggle. So I finally bought Hegemonia. I'm finding the gameplay to be pretty interesting, but the manual and in-game help are next to useless. Why can't I re-deploy a mining structure? Why was it so hard to figure out how to bring my squad back up to full capacity? Why can't I send a ship in one system directly to another system without having to constantly track whether or not it's made the wormhole jump yet? Still, the graphics are incredible, and it seems like the right balance of empire management and RTS for me. 10:45:54 PM ()

I'm not trying to lose my blog momentum, but there just ain't been nuthin' interestin' lately.
A lot of people seem to be interested in the Spectrum Policy Conference. There's some good live blogging over at Boing Boing. 10:39:10 PM ()
