Just Back…

Roo Crowdfire

….and it will take me some time to get my head back to Real Time. Bonnaroo was, simply, amazing. I never thought I’d want to go to a Metallica concert. As I said on Twitter: Where else can you walk around and in one hour see the likes of Cat Power, BB King, !!!, Phil Lesh, Jackie Green, My Morning Jacket. And to that I’d add Pearl Jam, Chris Rock, the Raconteurs (wow…), Iron & Wine…the amount of music I took in is overwhelming. I feel like a massive pipe cleaner has been taken to my head.

Meanwhile, while I was gone, Yahoo did the deed with Google.

Mark it, folks. We’ll be talking about this again and again, as either the beginning of something at Yahoo, or the end. I’m going to wager it’s the end. I’m hoping to be wrong. But this is too little, too late. And no amount of spin will change that.

Oh, and by the way, the whole “This isn’t about Microsoft” BS is so, well, BS.
