So apparently, Bon Jovi (currently the most relevant of music stars), thinks that Steve Job and Apple—through the power of the iTunes store—have killed the music industry.

A big complaint of Jovi’s comes from his frustration that consumers …

Sorry to all 20 of you who read the RSS feed... [Update: It appears to have been a problem with a Mint plug-in I had to monitor stats. To anyone using the Bird Feeder Pepper on their WP and Mint installations, you might want to check your RSS feeds. I was having link issues.] I've been fortunate enough to have a bit of free time the last few weeks, so I decided to use it wisely and redesign my blog. I went with a more print approach this time around. Typefaces are a bit bigger and more readable, margins are bigger, and I've given myself the ability to move content inside of posts around more, thus making some aspects of post more noticeable. My favorite thing though, is the archive page. Every entry, color-coded by year and month. I think it looks quite nice. I've also added in some sweet sIFR action to bring more character to the pages as well, using Soho Standard for most subheads, and I've decided to use Cambria for the post headers and body copy. Cambria is an opentype face from Microsoft. If you don't have it, no worries, you'll see Georgia instead. All in all, I think I'll enjoy this look for a while. Let me know what you think. I'm sure there will be some problems and design discrepancies that I've missed, so feel free to point those out.
