• This got a very literal LOL when I opened the e-mail yesterday.  Well done, Digital Gravel ... that Bomb Atomically Socrates Philosophies shirt is calling my name.
  
  If you're not getting it, see here.
  
  
• It's no surprise that a cheaper newspaper for the iPad is coming out ($4.99/month vs the ridiculous amounts that WSJ and NYT were charging), but can they really be tablet-exclusive and pass up a web presence?  I've got to wonder if the News Corp ties would be any hindrance to the more left-leaning early adopters that would be their go-live audience.

• I've fallen behind on reading Mark Cuban's blog, and funny enough it's because of a lot of the reasons he outlines in this post from late October.  My media consumption habits have definitely changed over the last couple of years; I'm doing less downloading of new music and instead have moved more into podcasts where I can get quick bits of information/entertainment and only need to listen once (unless it's a particularly funny Daves of Thunder episode).  I think this is also why I've really come to embrace Twitter in the last year or so, I've found a good group of users to follow that are disseminating interesting links and information as opposed to the "I just had eggs for breakfast" contingent.
  
  For as goofy as Cuban can come across when he's at a Mavericks game, he's obviously a really, really sharp guy.
