Lastly, everything I am saying about music could be extended to the other sorts of media that iTunes markets: TV shows, movies, books, whatever. But it hasn’t been at this point.

This is a great first-look review of Ping.

A new feature here at chrisbusse.com — at the start of every month I’m looking back into the site archive and finding a few things to follow up on (not necessarily from the previous month).

1. I am refocusing this site to add more blog-like text posts to the mix. Hopefully the transition will be wrapped up by the Labor Day holiday.
2. Technology and the Droste Effect. I don’t think I had an preconceived notions about John Mayer, but he writes a really good blog.
3. I went to NYC earlier in the month. Here’s a link to a Flickr set of photos from the trip. I really enjoyed the Picasso exhibit at the Met even if I didn’t have much time to soak in every piece of his work there. What I really took away from the exhibit was that a creative person doesn’t have to (and probably shouldn’t) pigeon-hole themselves in to one way of working. Picasso had a range of styles and media, and excelled at many of them. That should serve as inspiration for us all.

I’m in the process of migrating my main blog back to tumblr, and the web address for the tumblr site back to http://www.chrisbusse.com … future content here will include more frequent text posts on subjects such as applied Social Media (but not in a bandwagony way), Social TV, Entrepreneurship, Personal Productivity with a focus on web-based apps, technology predictions, and whatever else strikes my fancy. (I think I say this every time I switch things up aroung here, but now I have quite a bit of stuff actually drafted and am recommitting to tumblr as a platform for it) It will also still include photos, at least one a day and some more informal, tumblr-esque visual infographic-y type posts.

My other site, DotNetNuke / .NET / programming related content will be at http://lab.chrisbusse.com and will take a less bloglike, more experimental form.

I should have it all sorted out over the next month or so… if there’s anything you’d like to see me write/post about, drop me a line or leave a comment…
