Board Stiff! “New York’s Most Fabulous New Gaming Club”, is an informal, gay-friendly social group centered around new and interesting board games. My friend Dale Sorenson co-founded the group last month, their next meeting is May 1.

This morning I got a bunch of hits from what appears to be a deleted post in the religion forums on Leo Lahav’s Hobbes college student community network. Considering the context, I’m really curious as to what it was.

Tonight I’ll be on the DV Guys Radio Show talking about Joe’s Filters, FXScript and Final Cut Pro.

DNS and Server update – I’m still dealing with Network Solutions headaches and trying to transfer joemaller.com to Dotster. This has nothing to do with the recent downtime other than a really unfortunate tendency to overlap with severe server problems. New web space is waiting to go and I’ve also registered joesfilters.com as a backup in case this all happens again.

Since Thursday I’ve received 26 emails from Network Solutions confirming my attempts to change my contact information. It’s still not changed.

Monumental incompetence.

I’m moving my domains as soon as this is all straightened out. Dotster has been wonderful and transferring several of my other domains has been entirely painless.

While researching somethings related to Internet Radio I came across this incredible list of Public Radio Webcasts at current.org

George Scriban’s blogaritaville has two pieces showing how the RIAA’s self-mutilating practices have undermined the legitimate sales of music. An excellent chart accompanies this entry about CD price-fixing since 1996. Additionally he cites evidence and a quote from the president of the National Association of Recording Merchandisers about how the RIAA’s elimination of alternate recording formats such as the CD single has pushed potential customers to online trading.
