The music industry, Matrix 2, which leads to our new feature: Bug Kyle.

Tim O'Reilly on internet publishers: "If [publishers] try to enforce an artificial scarcity, charge prices that are too high or otherwise violate the norms of their target community, they will encourage that community to self-organize, or new competitors will emerge who are better attuned to the values of the community."

On a related, though off-topic thread, the article prompted me to examine a couple of my emerging beliefs about the music industry. So here's some off-the-cuff, casually collected thoughts I had while reading the O'Reilly article. I reserve the right to make a complete 180° turn in logic later.

Secret, secret, I've got a secret...
This is my friend Kyle.

In addition to just being devilishly handsome, he is also working on digital effects and living in Alameda while the cast is up here filming Matrix 2.

Yes, that's correct. He knows everything. Costumes, effects, storyline.

Coming soon will be a new feature I like to call Bug Kyle. This new part of Massless will include such hard-to-forget favorites as Kyle's Cell Phone Number and Kyle's Email Address and a crowd favorite, Things Kyle Would Like And Would Work Well As Bribes Particularly In Kyle's Case.

This is what you get if you're my friend and you are working on the Matrix and you actually won't tell me anything. Yep.
