This is the fifth PITF Index for Season 2 of Heroes, the superhero TV show where punching people in the face is a way to say howdy. Face-punch count: lots. There was a fight and we lost count. PITF Index after the cut.

Punch In The Face Index: S2E3

Categories: Culture

This is the third PITF Index for Season 2 of Heroes, the superhero TV show where people really like to punch each other in the face. Face-punch count: 1. Also, we had our first shout-out, which in the fine tradition of fanfic authors and recappers everywhere, we’re gonna pretend was directed at us. Go Hiro. Rah! PITF Index after the cut.

Bob Mould & Music Sales Models

Categories: Culture

Bob Mould is running a poll on possible models for sales of his music, prompted by Radiohead’s nifty “pay what you want” release. $40 for a yearly subscription to Mould’s music seems like a decent deal to me. Better if you also get access to his back catalog. A lot of people would pay the $40 once and get a massive deal on all the old music, sure, but that’s still sales you might not see otherwise.

Punch In The Face Index: S2E1

Categories: Culture

This is the first PITF Index for Season 2 of Heroes, the superhero TV show where people like to punch each other in the face. Really. Go back and watch the first season; there’s an awful lot of face-punching going on. Therefore, it makes sense to do a weekly recap of who deserves to get punched in the face the most. At least, in our world it does. Face-punch count: 3, or 2 if you don’t count the face slap. Susan does not. PITF Index after the cut.

World Changes Again

Categories: Culture, Technology

Amazon now has a Print on Demand service. The pricing is a bit more complex than the competition (namely, Lulu), but everything gets an ISBN and you can publish into Amazon. Which is pretty huge. I don’t think this is a Lulu killer, but it’ll definitely be competition, which hopefully will spur both companies to improve.
