George Varga talks Jazz of Old (2003) and New (2004) on The New Jazz Thing, Thursday, January 1, 2004 George Varga, Music Critic for the San Diego Union Tribune, talks about the state of Jazz in San Diego and the World as we look back at the best and worst of 2003 and see what the hopes for the new year are. Live on The New Jazz Thing with Vince Outlaw, Thursday, January 1, 2004 at 6:15 pm PT on Jazz 88, KSDS San Diego, 88.3 FM and world-wide webcast at http://KSDS-FM.org. George recently laid out the foundation for tonight's chat in his recent posting in the UT: Good News, Bad News on the Jazz Front. He kind summed up both sides of San Diego's scene with this,
"In Hofmann and Athenaeum jazz program coordinator Dan Atkinson (who in June launched a Jazz Camp at UCSD for young players) San Diego has two savvy talent bookers who know the music and local audiences well. Their continuing success, like that of Dizzy's downtown, counterbalances the continuing evaporation of jazz at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, and El Cajon's East County Performing Arts Center [^] two venues that provide diverse musical attractions but have mostly struggled to attract audiences for jazz. " Check out George's Best Album and Best Concert listings too at the end of the article. Stellar picks as always from a true San Diego music treasure. And he's a really nice guy too! Come back for the audio of the interview, post-show.
P.S. Hi Beth! Thanks for keeping George in line and on time!! Happy New Year!!! |

The 100-Megabit Power-chord Greg Milner writes about Henry Juszkiewicz, the owner of Gibson guitar and developer of a digital data transport technology called Magic, Wired 12.01: The 100-Megabit Guitar: "Open standard or not, Magic is still one man trying to convince everyone else that he has the answer. 'Digital transmission is the future, but I don't know which system will ultimately be the future,' says Barani Subbiah of NetworkSound. Juszkiewicz may go down in history as the wack-job who took Gibson too far down the digital road, but his stubborn determination may at least give the world its first classic digital guitar. "Moving that digital world forward, one power-chord at a time. [Link thanks to Dave] 9:31:55 AM  comment [] trackback [] Google It! |

But Does the Treo 600 Integrate with iTunes? Paul Boutin on the Treo 600 as the deathnell for straight-up PDAs... "To be clear, this is a phone that contains everything you used to buy a PDA for: Palm operating system, a QWERTY keyboard, a bright color screen, digital camera, Web browser, video and MP3 players, instant messaging, desktop-sync software, and more. But the important thing is that it has the form of a phone, not just the function."Just when I get an iPod and am about to go with Verizon's only camera phone, the LG VX6000, this news comes along. If it worked with Verizon, I'd be on it.
[Update...] Looks like Verizon added another camera phone to the mix...Audiovox CDM8900. Decisions. |

WebDAV: Networked File Management For The New Millenium ...or something like that ONJava.com: Sliding into WebDAV [Dec. 23, 2003]: "Apache's Jakarta project offers all kinds of great open source resources to Java developers. One of Jakarta's less well-known but extremely useful subprojects is Slide. Slide is composed of a number of different modules, all tied together using the WebDAV protocol. These modules include implementations of a number of useful features such as a WebDAV client library, a WebDAV server library, and a WebDAV-based content management system. Among other uses, these modules give developers the ability to add WebDAV client functionality to their Java applications."
Keeping up on this HTML-based file transfer protocol which will eventually replace FTP, at least for 'embedding' file transfer / content management tasks (file copy, update, check-out, etc.) into web-smart applications. |
