On the bit rate question, I got to 256K for almost the same reasons he explains. A couple years ago I did “The Big Rip” at 192K AAC. At the time I figured it was a good compromise between the higher quality of 256K and the smaller file size of 128K. Since then, storage of course has gotten cheaper but even more importantly for me, I really began to notice the difference in sound quality when I listened to a 128K or 192K file as compared to a CD, so I’ve been ripping at 256K for a couple months now.

I’ve been playing around with FriendFeed over the last couple days, and as much as I want to like it and really admire some of its features, I will admit it has been hard for me to get my mind around how to manage the volume of data that flows through it without getting totally overwhelmed.
That said, I am not giving up on it, but I was curious to see how bleeding edge the adoption was outside of the regulars on TWIT and the general technorati, so tonight I tried a simple test.
