A little light reading...
- Senator Ted Kennedy endorses Barack Obama. This race gets more interesting by the day.
- Which got me thinking. Who are the longest serving members of the Senate? Wikipedia has the whole list.
- NY Times: Social Entrepreneurs are all the rage at this year's World Economic Forum in Davos (via GreenBiz.com).
- Dying to read this story in the new Atlantic Monthly about digital music and its future (via Waxy.org).
- Philadelphia Inquirer: A profile and new biography of Wallace Stegner, whom I've always wanted to learn more about.
- New America Media: A fascinating take on "The New Media" and its evolution in minority communities.
- Hackzine profiles a way to grab music from the stupid little flash players on MySpace.
- It's now possible to listen to music on-demand at Last.fm.
