Writer's Strike May Move Video Entertainment Biz Online

A tiny trend, but an interesting one.

Video startup ditches user-generated content in favor of professionally-created content; ad sales boom.

Top producers ditch Hollywood studio system for Internet (before the strike) because it gives them creative control.

Joss Whedon and Marc Andreessen, among others, think this might be the future.

More in my Hollywood podcast.

Are you a hacker who likes to make music? You know how you feel precise control when you write code you understand, but you have to filter your understanding of your music through oversimplified GUIs which sometimes have terrible UX? I made a series of videos which teaches you how to write music sequencing software in Node.js and CoffeeScript. When I do it, I experience a clarity which makes it easy for me to make more exciting sounds. You may have the same experience. Upcoming episodes will also teach you how to use simple probabilistic artificial intelligence to write code which writes its own music (which I've already done in Ruby).
