David Weekly put together a great chart showing which record label owns which properties. It's very cool if you're into that media conglomerate incest thing.

Moral question of the day.

Yesterday I got my car stuck in the driveway and the neighbours helped push me out since they were leaving next and I was in their way. While pushing me out one of them put a small crack in the rear taillight. I recently had the other rear taillight replaced for a cost of ~$150. She's offered to buy me a new one. What should I do?

And the taillight is a sealed unit so you can't silicon the crack from the back. You'd have to do it from the front which would make the crack much more noticable than it currently is..

For Outlook I wish:
  1. I could have it open on two computers at once. And I shouldn't have to pay $766USD for Exchange to do this.
  2. Enable control of the mail icon and beep via rules
  3. There's a noticeable delay switching between folders
  4. It takes Google less than a second to search the entire web yet it takes Outlook up to five minutes to search one folder!
  5. Make it easier to add spam to my custom spam filters.

And I'm sure I could add to that list..

So the EmergentMusic contest just didn't work. Our goal was 200 reviews and we got 43. So the obvious conclusion is that the contest was a poor motivator (now why is that?). Feeling bad that I had conned a bunch of you into writing a reviews on the premise of the contest we felt we had to do something for those of you who wrote reviews. The compromise we've reached is that if you created a review we're going to send you $10USD and if you edited one then you'll get $1USD. So those of you who thought you were going to win probably hate me while those of you who stood no chance of winning now have some extra pocket money :).

If I can resist blogging long enough to get some work done we're going to be 'releasing' a new cut of the website on Monday or Tuesday which will incorporate some new ideas which quite simply will enable people who review and rate to earn points which can be redeemed for CDs (and in the future other 'stuff'). Concrete rewards for concrete work.

Update: Points for written reviews will work retroactively and Gary remarks the early predictive raters get the most points so they should rate NOW!

If you have any thoughts on how to motivate people to review feel free to blab away. Or if you think our idea sucks then I want to hear that too.

Not a slow day, just a busy one.

I met with a banker today and things are looking up. Full story once I'm done work.
