The guest blogger torch has just been passed from longtime BoingBoing pal Andrew Zolli (who did a terrific job holding down the guestbar — thanks, Andrew!) to Jim Griffin. Aside from having co-founded the Pho digital music listserv (photo from a Sunday pho gathering at left, Jim's on the right-hand side), Jim is an author, columnist, and wireless industry consultant. During his five-year stint as head of technology for Geffen Records, he led a team that in June of 1994 distributed the first full-length commercial song on-line, by Aerosmith. Geffen was the first entertainment company to install a web server, and Geffen World was one of the first corporate intranet sites.
This week, Jim's wireless industry work finds him traveling and working in Finland — today, he's inside the arctic circle! From what he's shared with me, Jim has some pretty special plans for the BoingBoing guestbar during his stay, and I think you're really going to enjoy his mobile travel-blogues. Welcome, Jim!
