Hi. I'm Paul Nixon, a designer living in Mountain View California. My days (and some nights) are spent designing websites for a little company in Cupertino. The rest of my time is spent with my beautiful wife and friends, road cycing and reading your blogs.

Geekzen. My buddy Tim has launched his new site. Come on in, the water's fine. Welcome my friend. (I'm taking the George approach by not asking for permission.)

So...uh...you select your city. Select the radio station you were listening to. Select the time that one song you really, really like right now came on and...BAM!!!

Music Playlist from Kottke.org Readers
Thursday, April 3, 2003 09: 35 PM
Jason Kottke recently commented on current music in his playlist with a call to readers to share their lists. The resulting commentary produced 100+ comments recommending 400+ artists.
This posed a problem for me: I wanted a PDA friendly, .txt file format list of these musicians to refer to when burning buying CDs, but not the commentary. So in an effort to prove that I lack anything resembling a real life and that I am really good at making lists, I took the comments, stripped the commentary and present to you The List (up to comment #109 at least):
Kottke Playlist - Alphabetized Order (text)
Kottke Playlist - Alphabetized Order (HTML)
Kottke Playlist - Commentary Order (text)
Kottke Playlist - Commentary Order (HTML)
NOTES:
- Credits: This list was organized by Paul Nixon (nixlog) from content developed by Jason Kottke and his readers on kottke.org. This content is licensed on Jason's site under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 1.0 License, which permits the reuse of content so long as Jason is cited and the entity repurposing the content shares their content too. To honor this license, I have also updated my own Creative Commons license to ShareAlike as well.
- Downside of this list: Little to no context to the musician or musical style is given on this list. Some context may or may not be gathered from reading the actual commentary. Also, formatting and duplication errors abound.
- Organizational note: The alphabetized list ignores the "The" bands by alphabetizing the band based on the second word in the name (e.g. White Stripes, The). Unfortunately trying to alphabetize the band "The The" ended in a vicious, never ending cycle from which I have yet to escape.

The Art of Explanation
Tuesday, April 1, 2003 09: 56 PM
Submit infographics: "Poynter Online would like to showcase the efforts of visual journalists as they help readers find clarity. "The Art of Explanation" is a place to share ideas and processes as we continue to improve the graphics we create. We invite artists from around the world to share pieces that worked well for their audience."
Nice opportunity for media outlets and individual artists to show off their work. Emphasis seems to currently be on the War in Iraq.
