They’re trying to compete with the iPod — a bad idea in its own right — with a player that, while smaller, has a smaller hard drive and uses Sony’s proprietary ATRAC3 compression format. What this means is you have to use their jackass software to put songs on the thing, instead of just dragging and dropping or using damn near any software you want with the iPod.

Extreme Unicyclists in Central Oregon
I use NetNews Tracker to run daily Usenet searches to find news of interest. Generally, what it comes across it completely irrelevant, but today it sent me to a post that linked to a local company that makes and sells some pretty damn cool extreme, unicycles frames, and parts. Looking at the pictures of what these guys do I think I can safely say that they are absolutely nuts — in that “Man, I was I was talented enough to pull that of” sort of way.
Anybody else know of Bend (or Central Oregon) companies that are cool or interesting? It’s always amazing to me the way people make money around here.
Screw ASCII Art
This guy’s typewriter art is far more impressive. Thanks Barney for the link.
