Marketing, it’s pretty pervasive, and with the ‘we noticed you bought this, so we thought you’d be interested in buying this’ routine it’s very personalized now. So today I’m working on a ton of source file conversions; moving files from here to there, running a Perl script over and over, cutting/pasting converted files out…and repeat. It’s a task waiting for a ‘while true do’ loop, but it won’t work like that. Anyway, so it’s a perfect day for me to get into some mid-late bebop era Jazz that I can’t get enough of, so I’m listening to Sonny Rollins’ 1966 The Bridge; a more mellow (well at least mid-tempo) Rollins release featuring a sweet little quartet working it out. I see a new email on my home account, so I check it out, from the subject I see it’s an automated Amazon.com email trying to get me to buy something, but when I open it, it’s an offer to pre-order a new Sonny Rollins CD, Milestone Profile. It appears to be a double CD of material he’s released via the Milestone label from 1966-2006. Anyway, just thought that was pretty cool. Now playing, Sonny Rollins Plus 4 (but not the SACD version that is pictured…hmmm)
