Really enjoying "The Objects of Our Life" released today by the Steve Jobs Archive. Neat, previously unavailable talk that Steve Jobs participated in at the 1983 International Design Conference held in Aspen that year.

Heard Magrethe Vestager interview with Kara Swisher. Convinced more than ever that the DMA is poorly written and unfairly enforced. It is clear that they would prefer that US tech companies remove themselves so that EU companies can fill the void, and given their track record, do it poorly.

Listening to the 1001 albums before you die list and after a week in I have learned that there is some crazy over representation by a numbersof artists and glaring omissions of other artists at their expense.Shocked that a list like this has 3 Morrissey and Beck albums,but no room for 1 Heart album?
