I've been into Boing Boing since the first Happy Mutants book came out in high school. One of my nerdier qualities is my fascination with technology's influence on art and human interaction- so of course BB has fostered this in me over the years.
I started my site, SkaBlahBlah.com, because I was interested in what the internet could now do for another obsession of mine, Ska and Reggae music.
It's so great to read BB take on reggae so often. Like Xeni's story on the Ice-Cream Sound System, and the links to the Wired post about Reggae birthing the mash-up, both of which I've linked to on my site.
I guess what I'm saying is that while I've been trying to reconcile this music being affected by tech culture, you guys are coming from a techie point of view and saying, "hey, check out this music" It's really a great thing.
