Good ol' Stephanie Sullivan has passed the musical baton to me. Of course, I had no idea a baton existed, so I'm as surprised as you are to be writing this post.

Regardless, here are my official answers:

Total Volume (of my MP3 library):
30.3 GB

Last CD Bought:
SoundGarden - "Badmotorfinger"
(I've owned this in various formats pretty much since the day it came out, but all copies of it have been lost at various points. It's now on my iPod.)

Song Playing Right Now:
"Avalanche" by Matthew Good

Five Songs I Listen To a Lot:
Disclaimer: This list can change at any given moment, on any given day, and usually does.

- "All Night Thing"- Temple of the Dog
- "Bad"- U2 (I broke and ran out a rack of 9-ball for the first time in my life while listening to this song - it's a Zen thing)
- "Everybody Here Wants You"- Jeff Buckley
- "Shaking the Tree"- Peter Gabriel (Manu Katche is the best drummer ever)
- "Searching with My Good Eye Closed"- SoundGarden (Did I mention I just got Badmotorfinger on my iPod?)

Five People to Whom I'm Passing the Baton:
(Like all the others who have passed the baton, I apologize for sticking you with this ... but I am actually curious.)

Mike Downey (Flash Product Manager)
Google (They've got a blog, you know)
Tom Green
John Dowdell
Mike Chambers

Have fun, guys!

Amazing. Absolutely amazing.

I'm sure most of you remember several years ago that many web sites required the use of particular version of a particular browser, viewed at a particular resolution. And I'm sure you all remember how ridiculous it was to be forced to comply to an arbitrary set of rules to access and use the web site, as though it was our privelege to do so. I hated it too. And I've always been one of the first people to jump up and fight against such stupidity. But I haven't had to fight this fight for a quite a while. And I hadn't really noticed until just a moment ago, when I realized ...

Some companies, such as Powerhouse are still doing it.

Attempting to reach Powerhouse's homepage while using Firefox produces the error page linked to above.

Normally, I would say the guy who wrote this forward-looking PDF is doing nothing more than speculating, like the rest of us. But it's on Macromedia's web site, so it must mean something.

It's pretty obvious that Flash will continue to be a focus for Adobe, but some of the other points about FlashPaper and Macromedia's server products are pretty interesting. It's a good read, and it's short, so you can get all the info you're just dying to get in under 10 minutes.
