Morning links: just another case of the mondays
I really wish I wasn’t so swamped at work. It would be great to go-in on a couple of the stories below, but for now — just the links.
New pictures from the weekend to come tonight when I finally have a chance to work on this from home. Also, I’m starting a new long term art project with a handful of small one-offs along the way. I’ll be documenting my source...

Coldplay’s Strong Sales Buck Industry Trend
Recent article from NYTimes talking about the recent success of Coldplays latest Viva la Vida. Coldplay really went in a different direction with working the album and tying in a release through itunes. Could it be a strong format for other to follow? Well it really helps that the band has such a huge following but its probably a step in the right direction.

Internet Ad Spending to Overtake Radio in 2008
Bloomberg.com: Technology
Not a big suprise I guess. I feel like radio has become so awful it really makes more sense than anything else. I’m a but shocked that internet ad sales could pass magazine by 2010… I guess its time I push for more quality content online, maybe I can get some of those ad dollars.

Facebook passes MySpace in popularity with global... →
no real suprise here I guess. Myspace needs a design overhaul. The early addopter left along time ago, now everyone else is following. Next big social network? My money is on Loopt with all of the iphone integration. Is it too voyeuristic? Sure but look at celeb gossip coverage now, its only going to get worse.

Sodas of The Times: Root Beer
Check out the NYTimes audio tasting on Root Beer. I don’t know what it is about root beer, but its one of those drinks that sometimes I crave. The best root beer I ever had was from a vending machine at the WHUS radio station. The root beer came from a local soda from Hosmer. Damn, I miss Djing.

George Carlin dies at 71
