It’s almost that time of year. Since my birthday follows New Year’s Day I tend to make the start then. But I begin the work of thinking about goals on the first, tomorrow. What are the candidates this year:

MP3 music downloads at eMusic
I like the idea of DRM-free music a lot. I truly don’t mind paying for music; I just want to be able to move it to new PCs or listen to it in the car or whatever. eMusic offers this, I signed up for an account this morning. I don’t like […]
