On Lisa Rein’s Radar
I remember, in 1998, being so impressed with something Lisa Rein wrote for XML.com about XML and Vector Graphics that I wrote a fan letter to the people at XML.com to let them know. I’m embarrassed about that now. Anyway, via serindipitous clicking, I just found that she not only has a long list of published articles about XML, but she also has a weblog and writes songs about intellectual property issues. And other topics. I listened to two songs: one was folksy; another was straight-ahead rock. She sings with a slightly-growly voice that reminds me of Concrete Blonde. It’s pleasing to see people who have the technical impulse and the creative impulse in conjunction. Now Edd Dumbill needs to start a band called Gandalf’s Pikestaff. And how long before Kendall Grant Clark is covering Van Morrison?
