In a previous post, I discussed how portals such as myspace and blogger are an advertisers wet dream. These are sites that are coded and target-marketed...by its own users. Katie Kurtz of the San Franscisco Chronicle broadcast this bulletin to me on what the MySpace management team is planning to do...with your information. Read on .

I did something odd and rented Dune last night, which if you are unaware, following the link and read Wikipedia's extensive discussion. It's a remarkable early (1984) David Lynch movie based on a wonderful series of sci-fi novels written by Frank Herbert, beginning in the early 1960's. I read 3 of Herbert's novels as a teenager in the late 80's, and the movie itself was a long-time favorite that I'd basically forgotten about until I'd seen it on the movie-shelf.

The results are stunning and I predict a future coffee table book. Good luck with that!
