Six Apart has a partnership with Major League Baseball to enable their fans to keep blogs. It’s been an amazing glimpse into Amercia’s #1 obsession to see how many different perspectives people have on the sport.

Serendipitous Audio Streaming Services

August 29, 2005 Music

Now joining last.fm is a new service, Pandora, which suppliments revenue from affiliations with Amazon and Apple with a very reasonable subscription fee ($36/year, $12/quarter).

The pop of a champagne cork at Noon today signaled that Movable Type 3.2 has been pushed out for general release. Jay, Brad, Ezra, Anil, Walt, and too many countless others to list all pulled together and have launched a product for which they should be really, really proud.

If only I was in better shape. . .

June 20, 2005 Six Apart

In a past life I cycled my way across Europe including climbs over the Pyrenees and the Dolomites. I was in the best shape I’ve ever been and towards the end I rode along with an Austrian team out for a ride and stayed right along with them, panniers and handlebar bags and all. I’ve [...]
