Some images from Saturday at the market.
Give Seattle one (1) beautiful day and.... here comes everybody.... get pickin'.
Pickin' your tulips. 40 for $20.
Pay the lady and wonder when you'll get another day like this....
Meanwhile, in Minnesota, they pray to Gaia for Global Warming.
I'm in Texas, so every day is a beautiful day, until summer gets in high gear, that is.
The street musicians got me thinking. They are still selling CDs for $10? Producing CDs at that low volume must cost $3+/ea, with labor, CD cost, labels, ink, jewel case.
Why don't they get on with the $1-a-song generation? Is there an iPod gadget that will allow anybody to come up and load a song from a street musician? If I was walking by and liked one of their songs you can bet that I'd plug in my iPhone/iPod and drop a few bucks in their hat.
I wouldn't know what to do with a CD, though. I have a player somewhere, but...

Posted by: vanderleun at April 27, 2008 8:19 PMThe musicians could load songs onto your iPod or other player with an ordinary laptop. No problem at all...That really is a great idea!
Posted by: Mumblix Grumph at April 27, 2008 10:01 PMThat IS nice. I kinda like Seattle, ever since I was stationed at FT Lewis. I get there all the time in my current job with the Air Force.
So, we're going for a beer next time I'm there. My treat!
iBusker is a great idea until someone sets up you the bomb, as a virus. Then all your Base belong to them....
