I previously wrote about Spiralfrog.com, an ad-supported website with free and legal song downloads. Unfortunately, they have since closed their doors. I tried to visit a couple of days ago, and found only a blank page. A Google search yielded an article on CNET.com, “Requiem For A Frog,” confirming that the site is out of business, and speculating about the reasons for the shutdown, which included the current bad economy, and the fact that Spiralfrog’s restrictive DRM was a severe handicap in catching on with listeners.

Last week I got stuck in a traffic jam on the 91 Freeway in Los Angeles. Nothing new there, but once I got to the front of the queue, I saw the aftermath of what looked like a head-on collision between a car and a street sweeper truck. I’m still scratching my head trying to figure out how this happened. I don’t think anyone got seriously hurt.
