It’s the Beginning of the End for the TV Biz, Says Analyst | Epicenter from Wired.com

“We believe the feature film and TV content businesses are on the verge of structural changes that appear to impact the core revenue and profits of entertainment business models,” wrote DiClemente.

Viva la revolution! I just discovered Strike.tv last week. Just show me a way to watch Hulu and YouTube on my TV and I’ll be happy. Oh, and better quality re-streamed Tour de France coverage.

These are some songs I wrote and recorded around 1998-1999. Nicole Taylor (vocals on “Goggles”) found me on Facebook, which motivated me to find and upload the songs. Naomi Loving (my sister) sang the vocals on “Swim”. The music is in the style of turn of the century “drum n bass” - an electronic genre involving fast (140 BPM) beats.

At the time, I was heavily influenced an ArtCore compilation, and now can here heavy influences from “Everything but the Girl.” Many of the beats took hours if not weeks to create. Also, the other real world sounds are from my big trip in 1997.

Looking forward to trying these

HexagonalI haven’t built a static Web site in a while. It looks like the tools have advanced quite a bit. I like weebly a lot after trying it for 10 minutes - they have nice templates. I think all of these will support using your own domain name too.

It’s Thursday and the team has just one day remaining to complete their project for “A Startup A Week”. The concept of the show is to bring together a few rockstar developers and designers, pitch them an idea for a startup, and give them just one week to take the idea from concept to reality.

For the initial project of this series, our team is building out a Facebook application that can use the viral power of the social graph to raise money for a computer lab in Cambodia via the non-profit Room to Read. On this episode, our developer Adam Loving shows how he used LINQ and SQL Server to keep track of donations, our designer Jay Dokken of Design Commission gives us a very quick sneak preview of his awesome design, and Kyle Cressman sits down with our special guest Dominic Canterbury from D/C Strategic.

With less than 48 hours remaining, can our team come together and create a startup in a week? Stay tuned for the finale tomorrow, and be sure to check out the first three days of A Startup A Week - Episode One.
