A few notes on the amazing Coachella live streaming

Amazing Coachella Live Streaming on Youtube

1. On Day 2, the schedule still defaults to Day 1. (I'm guessing this will go for Day 3 as well.)

2. There is no pause, stop or off button.  (If you had one window playing and one window reading the schedule, you'd need twice the bandwidth... unless you have flashblock.)

3. The band names are just text, not links.  (Why am I cutting and pasting band names to look them up instead of clicking on them for a google search, a wiki page, or I'm sure better yet via your thinking a "Play Artist Page" (presuming those exist).

Otherwise, I love the incredible "liveness" of the HD Stream and the amazing music.  Haven't been this impressed since Google streamed Bridge School.  Really hope this happens every year.

Google updates Scratchpad

Scratchpad, the little notepad that could, which I actually like better than the Google Docs writer was updated today to the new google red and clean style.  Mostly I like it.  I also like that it seemed to auto title the document after I typed the first line. Excellent.  Go Scratchpad, GO!

It's funny.  Both Facebook and Google+ have a preview mode that should remove the from the text box, but doesn't.  (I also think they both only support one link, not multiple links.  but someday they will.)

Google Docs: How about a shortcut that creates a new document?

drop down menu still takes too long.

+1 Question: What if my friends +1 lousy articles? There is no -1 button.

Blogger: Why no paragraphs in blockquote?

Everytime I blockquote it destroys my paragraphs.  When I try to add them in using the editor, it doesn't work.  When I use HTML mode and put in (BR)'s it works. What's the deal, Google?  You got something against complex blockquotes?  I agree they're lazy writing, but if you want to quote multiple paragraphs you don't want to slam them together and make them harder to read...
