Chimes of Freedom – the great Dylan cover album?
Early in his career Bob Dylan adapted words from the Bible and wrote:
To everything (turn, turn, turn) There is a season (turn, turn, turn) And a time for every purpose, under heaven
Most people will remember this as more of a Byrds’ song, a group who immortalized the hit song, than one by Dylan.
Over the years many of Dylan’s songs have earned cover versions, notably the trillion versions of Knocking on Heaven’s Door, George Harrison’s If Not For You, The Rolling Stones’ inevitable live cover of Like a Rolling Stone (no there is no connection between the song and the group’s name), More >

Paint it Black – the SOPA PIPA version
If they want a blackout then they are going to have to deal with the masses. SOPA and PIPA aren’t the answers.
Mick Jagger knew what he was talking about
I see an open door and want to paint it black. No freedom anymore lets turn the whole web black I see some P2P up by the Pirates’s Bay. I want to sink their ships and make them go away.
* I see a whole new world, no colors except black. When all the legislation’s through there will be no way back. I see a a generation losing all its sense of pride. Just like the More >
The Future of Sales
They all lined up at the entrance,
Five hundred and a score.
The queue that started hours before,
Now circled round the score.
It was the first Saturday of January,
And some were looking rather pale.
But none would dream of leaving now,
Ten minutes before the sale.

The showroom was completely filled
With all the shapes and sizes.
For those outside in the freezing cold,
They were offering great prizes.
Women, girls and hopeful grans
All waited at the gate.
At the chime of nine
They all left the line
And ran in to buy a mate.

So many things have disappeared from the world or been reinvented during the last couple of years to make the gems of my youth seem to be historic artifacts. With the global youth movement to computer games (that sounds like a political party doesn’t it?) I suppose it was only natural that the Monopoly shoehorn would find itself animated in the mobile version of the game. I used to love counting the paper money and hoarding the red hotels More >
IPhone App of the Year: Flipboard
Ever so often an application comes by that makes you life easier or much more pleasant. Over the years a few such applications of different breeds made us step back and say WOW!. Such was Super Mario, such was the affect Excel had when you first upgraded from Lotus, such is Flipboard. Originally released for IPad and now available for IPhone too, this beautifully designed App almost revolutionizes the world of newspapers all on its own. Over the past couple of years there have been many attempts at creating digital newspapers. All of them tried to mash together sources and More >
