Beautiful video. Neurodiversity – what a great word. I had not heard it before. Neurodiversity, Biodiversity, Cultural Diversity, Musical Diversity. Stereo sounds better than mono… the more the merrier…. give me every angle!

Regarding Steve Job’s open letter RE DRM I want to add a few notes:
Apple should:
1. Make DRM elective, meaning Apple should allow indies like us to elect NOT to have our music encoded with DRM – for extra points they could add CC-Licenses…
2. Add OGG Vorbis and FLAC to the formats supported by the iPod. At present it is easy enough to encode OGG Vorbis files or even install a free plug-in that enables playback via iTunes – but iPods won’t play back the files.
3. Apple should increase the quality of the files sold on iTunes. IMO 128kbps is not worth it and is the main reason I have so far purchased only one track from iTunes. Give us at least 192kbps.
One Minute

Surely you can spare a minute to clean your ears? Take a one-minute vacation from the life you are living. One-minute vacations are unedited recordings of somewhere, somewhen. Sixty seconds of something else. Sixty seconds to be someone else. A new one-minute vacation will be added each week on Monday if I can manage it (so far, there are 266 vacations).
