All week we're revisiting archival interviews with key figures in early rock and roll, rockabilly and R&B. Singer, songwriter, producer and talent scout Johnny Otis got his start leading a big band that had the 1945 hit “Harlem Nocturne.” Later,
as a talent scout, he discovered such performers as Big Mama Thornton, Esther
Phillips and Etta James. James' career took off in the '60s with hits including “At Last," “A Sunday Kind of Love” and “I’d Rather Go Blind."

Typepad is shutting down after an amazing 20+ years. It was spun off of Movable Type back in the very early days of the blogosphere. Seth Godin used to use it too, and I see that his old URLs redirect, which is great.

John Gruber with analysis of the latest lawsuit in the Masimo patent saga:
It reads to me like that same decision would have been made, at the same time, if Kamala Harris had won last year’s election. But that’s the problem with a pay-to-play corrupt government like Trump’s, and Tim Cook’s willingness to play along to any degree, no matter how mild. By currying favor with Trump, it now looks like any decision from the U.S. government that goes in Apple’s favor might be because Apple curried favored with Trump. I genuinely do not believe that’s the case here.
