I discovered the Fredericksburg, Va. based Folded Under (www.foldedunder.com) through Napster. Sort of. I actually downloaded some of their songs along with dozens of others in one fell swoop from mp3.washingtonpost.com, when I lived in Arlington, VA.

Get $50 for participating in a research study.

As a valued Progressive Direct customer, we're inviting you to participate in an innovative research study. The purpose of this study is to help us reduce the cost of car insurance. And you’ll earn $50 just for participating.

How it works:

Let us know you'll participate by visiting us online.

We’ll send you a TripSensor –- a matchbook-sized device that easily plugs in near your vehicle’s steering column. Just plug it in, drive as you normally do, and forget about it. In six months, we’ll ask you to unplug the TripSensor and send it back to us, and we'll send you $50. It's that easy.
The data you provide are for research purposes only, and will not, under any circumstances, have an effect on your current or future car insurance rate.

After I received a magazine assignment to write about the latest business technology trends, I figured "Who better to ask than the Morph audience?"

So, tell us about your favorite gadget, and why you love it, or what's on your "must have" list and why.

Congress Abandons WikiConstitution September 28, 2005 | Issue 41•39

WASHINGTON, DC—Congress scrapped the open-source, open-edit, online version of the Constitution Monday, only two months after it went live. "The idea seemed to dovetail perfectly with our tradition of democratic participation," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said. "But when so-called 'contributors' began loading it down with profanity, pornography, ASCII art, and mandatory-assault-rifle-ownership amendments, we thought it might be best to cancel the project." Congress intends to restore the Constitution to its pre-Wiki format as soon as an unadulterated copy of the document can be found.

SUBJECT: Hurricane - Helping broadcast assoc/station/journalists

A number of webcasters, www.webcasters.org and companies have access to provide off air stations, broadcasters (terrestrial Radio/TV) or displaced webcasters with live or on-demand webcast programming on the Internet. We have donated call in facilities, studio in Houston with production facilities (and elsewhere) if needed, extra streaming bandwidth, and perhaps anything else they may need to get messages up on the Internet. We can put up podcasts and video blogs. All they would need is a phone line to call in audio, or access to email to send us files. We can take just about anything they can provide. They can physically come to different locations if that is needed. We can probably find a studio in the city/town they may have had to take refuge in at this time. We can also take down satellite feeds. We can assist journalists.

This story begins a long, long time ago. Well, actually, not that long ago, 1999 to be exact. But with the speed of Web development, it feels very much in the past.

David Neumann, president of Digital Entertainment Network (DEN), proudly gives a keynote address at the Streaming Media West Conference in San Jose. He speaks of his online network targeting Generation X and the great original programming his company is producing. His is the future and DEN is at the leading edge.

Steven Rosenbaum, managing partner of Magnify Media told attendees of The Media Center's Cross-Platform media teams event "the people that are used to making content in an older model are the ones least likely to want to reinvent things on their watch, particularly if they have a mortgage or kids in college." He then demonstrated how easy some new content creation can be and shared lessons he's learned from 20 years in TV news, his work with MTV and how to capitalize on a peer review filter model for content.
