The Website vs. Web App Dichotomy Doesn't Exist - Jake Lazaroff believes the website vs web app destinction doesn't do a good job of describing what's actually being built these days. He outlines a slightly different yet related way to break down the current web development landscape: informational, transactional, realtime and local websites. I think it describes what's out there quite well. Read this post to get a reassuring sense of where you are in amidst all the chaos. jakelazaroff.com #

What’s the Value of 3 Million LPs in a Digital World? - We had a massive record collection at the student radio station I was part of back at university. Walls and walls of records. There was something very calming about being in that room surrounded by thousands of records. The ritual of queueing tracks up on the 2 Technics decks in the studio was very memorable too. And of course we would try to scratch like the pros, but we were terrible. We once had DJ Hurricane in to do a guest mix set. He was the DJ from the Beastie Boys. He was awesome. That was fun afternoon. Anyway yes records are amazing whatever the music genre. Keep vinyl alive! www.wired.co.uk #
