I’m selling my almost-brand-new Mackie 1220i FireWire mixer. It’s the best mixer I’ve ever owned, and it’s amazing in every way. If you’re wanting to do podcasting, amateur or professional recording, general broadcasting, and any kind of audio production work would, this is the perfect mixer. Here’s a link to the mixer on Mackie’s site.
You may be asking: So why are you selling it, if it’s so awesome?
I’m upgrading one level to the Mackie 1660i. It’s the exact same mixer, but it offers two additional auxiliary ports (a total of four). When I purchased the 1220i, I didn’t anticipate I’d need more than two ports, but I’ve since realized that having the option to bring on several guests at once is important, and I’d also like to allow listeners to call as well. Because each guest on the podcasts needs their own auxiliary port and I only have two, I need to upgrade.
I purchased this mixer brand new about 3 months ago for $699. I have all of the original packaging, manuals, and warranty information, and I’ll consider any reasonable offer.
Please contact me if you’re interested.

Another great entry in Fred Wilson’s “Monday MBA” series of posts.
This is exactly the kind of thing that I wish had existed on the web when I launched my first business back in the mid-90’s.

Seth Godin:
Five minutes to write a blog post that changes everything, or five minutes to deliver an act of generosity that changes someone. Five minutes to invent a great new feature, or five minutes to teach a groundbreaking skill in a way that no one ever thought of before. Five minutes to tell the truth (or hear the truth).

A well written article explaining why you should disable ad-blocking for the sites you enjoy visiting.
There is an oft-stated misconception that if a user never clicks on ads, then blocking them won’t hurt a site financially. This is wrong.

I thought I recognized the source of the line drawing in that recent Apple patent application.
And yes, recognizing that this was in fact a scene from LOST and then being able to find the episode it came from almost instantly does confirm that I’m way too into the show for my own good.

Apple has announced the official availability dates for the iPad:
[The] iPad will be available in the US on Saturday, April 3, for Wi-Fi models and in late April for Wi-Fi + 3G models. In addition, all models of iPad will be available in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK in late April.
You’ll be able to pre-order both the wi-fi and 3G models from the Apple Store on March 12th, 2010.
I still don’t see iPads available for pre-order on Amazon yet.

After linking this article which details how your TV is harming you, you might think I’m anti-television. Actually, I’m not. But I do believe that we, as a society, need a bit less TV (and maybe more podcasting).

If you’ve been on the fence, it looks like now is suddenly a good time to become a Mac developer. Apple has just restructured their developer program, dropping the $500 and $3,500 plans (and related Apple hardware discounts) in favor of a single, $99/year plan.
It feels like the right time for this change, and there’s no better way to get more people interested in Mac development than by lowering the price of entry.
And if you’re a Ruby developer, heck, even if you’re not a Ruby developer, check out MacRuby. The time is now.

Basically, it has to do with body clock neurons which tell cells to retain their water reserves.

A study used Baby Wordsworth DVDs (part of the Baby Einstein series), billed as a way to teach babies new words, and had a group of 12-to-24-month-olds watch them every day for six weeks.
The videos didn’t work, and there’s no difference in language acquisition between the children who watched the DVDs and the group who did not.
In fact, past analyses have found that infants who watch educational DVDs actually learn fewer words and score lower on certain cognitive tests by the time they reach preschool than kids who haven’t watched the videos.
More and more, it seems that television might not be great for little kids.

A new study suggests that early exposure may be the key to avoiding food allergies.
In Israel, children are typically introduced to peanuts much earlier than in Europe and North America. That early exposure may desensitize children to peanuts, even in kids with a family history of food allergies.
