Joel is such an intelligent guy.  I love what he writes.  This latest piece so hits the spot, its spooky... December 11, 2002. Lord Palmerston: "The Schleswig-Holstein question is so complicated, only three men in Europe have ever understood it. One was Prince Albert, who is dead. The second was a German professor who became mad. I am the third and I have forgotten all about it." Programming has gotten too hard. [Joel on Software] 9:59:02 PM

Want, want, want ... Making Your Own Music, Even if You Can't Play a Note. If you like music and want to make your own even if you can't play an instrument, get Mad - a MadPlayer, that is. The new MadPlayer by MadWaves is an addictive, pocket-size recording studio, MP3 player and FM radio that packs a library of 600 musical instruments and sounds into a device slightly larger than a Game Boy video game player. It can instantly create and spin out original songs in a variety of musical styles including rhythm and blues, hip-hop, New Age, techno and reggae. By J.d. Biersdorfer. [New York Times: Technology] Boy, I wish we had had these available when we were creating Madasafish.   9:36:40 PM
