Personal

I will be posting interviews I have done at MO.com. They are at least two weeks behind what is on MO.com but I like to keep a record for personal purposes and as a record of my work.

I realized it's been probably a decade since I last spent money on music (buying one of the <10 CDs I've bought in my life). Today, I found myself troubled, my Spotify travel use ran out. After 14 days I could no longer use it without paying. I lasted 24 hours before I paid for an account (49SEK/month ~ $7/month).

Spotify has truly changed the way I behave and consume music. After over two years on a free account, I don't have a music collection, I have spent countless hours crafting my playlists, sharing with friends and finding them on the web. Access to all that was taken from me and I didn't know what to do.

If any music startup could really kill it, I am betting on Spotify, I am in love and as of today, a paying customer. The iPod changed the way we listen to music on the go, Spotify changed the way I consume music at home, parties and with friends. Any song on demand, what could be better?

I am finally migrating over to a new address for my blog. The old one can be still be seen at Ohashi.info. The even older one can be seen at Ohashi.us.

Why the change? A lot of things have changed in my life, I have moved and I have finished grad school. It's time to change the blog and write more seriously. I have a consulting job writing at MO.com, I am still freelancing, I still dabble with domain names but I want to start my own 'real' company as well.

The idea I am working on new is a B2B service to help with lead generation and the quality of those leads. More details will come as they get ironed out.
