The Allman Brothers Band - Blue Sky
It is going to be an absolutely beautiful day in Virginia. Gotta get out from behind the desk today and enjoy some of the nice temps and blue sky.
I actually have something positive to post about AT&T. I’ve been an AT&T mobile customer for 4 to 5 years now after having cell service from Sprint, Alltel, nTelos, and Nextel. All carriers provided poor service in my home. I stuck with AT&T after purchasing the first iPhone in October of 2007. I gave up on cell service at home several years ago until I learned of AT&T’s MicroCell. It costs $150. You connect your internet service with the MicroCell via ethernet cord. After a couple hours, the MicroCell should be functioning and you should have improved service within 5,000 square feet of the MicroCell device. I’ve read one report of the MicroCell not working, which was surprising considering our mobile coverage has gone from barely 1 bar to 5 bars in the house. In fact, I liked the MicroCell so much, I bought one for our new office, which has poor cell coverage as well. It works beautifully.
Of course, there is the point that I shouldn’t have to even purchase this device if AT&T had decent coverage. No sh*t sherlock, but I want service in my home and at my office on my iPhone. I can continue to bitch about it or give the MicroCell a try, and I’m glad I did.

Phish - Run Like an Antelope
From Coral Sky, the just announced DVD set due out October 19th. Coral Sky is the entire 11-2-96 show from Coral Sky Amphitheater in Palm Beach, Florida. This track, along with the entire show, includes percussionist Karl Perazzo. Karl also sat in two nights earlier in Atlanta for the Remain In Light halloween musical costume.
Tumblr Tuesday Recommendation: Gary Cope
Gary might be the first person I met online that I’m now good friends with offline (if that makes sense). He is a former sports journalist/anchor turned SEO/social media/AV specialist for Virginia Tech. He’s so good we ask him to handle SEO work for Business Bullpen. Gary is an all-around entertaining dude who posts a good variety of content, and has the most adorable little boy who makes an appearance every now and then on his blog.
This is for anyone who did not go to Virginia Tech and wants to talk to me about the Hokies game last night.

Imagine if clicking on a concert link took you, not to Live Nation, but to the iTunes Ticket Booth. And imagine if you could do things like paying a buck for the privilege of holding onto a block of four tickets for 12 hours while you rounded up three friends (on Ping, naturally) to go with you… or buying your T-shirt in advance for half off… or pre-purchasing a concert recording for wireless download while your ears are still ringing from those final power chords. And all for far, far less than your Ticketmaster service fees.
Rob Cottingham: Apple could be the company that takes down Ticketmaster
At this point, I’d love to see anyone topple Ticketmaster. I just never thought about Apple in the ticketing space. Then again, I never thought about Apple in the music space before the iPod.
