Forgiving The Material Girl

10/14/05 Update:
I have to admit, the resolution on the new iPod is amazing, and you can store video. But, the Japanese have been streaming video onto their cell phones for two years now.

6:16 Update:
My son, whose mission in life is to have every iPod (we've had 5 so far), and has apparently spent his time reading twenty iPod stories instead of studying Spanish, has assured me that the Madonna story is just a trap for disloyal Apple employees. It's the video iPod, stupid. Jeez, pretty sad when you can't even trust the Red Herring. Looks like our boy Jobs isn't above throwing a few red herrings of his own.

When George Harrison sang about Living in the Material World, he had no idea that his spiritual longings would soon morph into a lithe, utterly Martha-like, business-brain dancer who would turn music on its head. At first you think punk/pop rebellious flash in the pan, but then she just had hit after hit, kept reinventing herself, became an artist. She wouldn't quit. Only Elvis & the Beatles have had more hits.

I can't hate Madonna. She's done so much for women. I can forgive her for putting fuck-you songs on the P2Ps and yes, I'm now going to forgive her for the pink Nano, just like I forgave hypocritical Bono for his. Hope she makes lots of Nanomillions and does more with them than dressing her kids in $1K togs and showing up at Live8.

Blogging moves to corporate America
At DEMO 2004 I hosted a panel 'The Rise of the Blog Nation.' For one-fourth of the people in the room, blogging was passe; of course everyone was bloging.
