  • You know what’s wrong with music today?

    Not enough Iron Maiden. *singing* Alexander the Great…His name struck fear into hearts of men */singing* Ahh… Earnest heavy metal based on historical figures. Good times. Good times.

  • Frightening TV

    I have been watching a disturbing amount of Trading Spaces (link is to an interesting behind the scenes accounting of the show), and Mad About You. Given that all appearances to the contrary I’m actually not a woman, any viewing time greater than zero is probably disturbing, and I’m well past disturbing into problematic. Thing…

  • A Day in the Life

    A Day in the LIfe seeks to monitor a selection of users as they use the internet for a day to evaluate a number of assumptions. Number of sites visited, use of back button, etc. It seems like the population that will be attracted to participate in A Day in the Life may be a…

  • Dune the Musical – Not

    So I’m reading emptybottle.org and I see a reference to a musical version of Dune. Now, here’s the thing, I’m a huge Dune fan, so for a moment I was both horrified and intrigued by the idea. An idea that was leant a certain amount of credence because Wil Wheaton was also supposed to be…

  • File Sharing: Innocent Until Proven Guilty

    Interesting Salon Story about the fact that despite downloads accounting for more than actual record sales, record sales haven’t been impacted. Stan Liebowitz, the subject of the interivew, doesn’t seem to understand how that’s possible. It seems pretty simple to me. Most downloads are listened to once if at all. The fact that you’ll grab…

  • Broken Saints

    Broken Saints is a beautifully done flash animation. A little anime in feel with some strange sonic diversions every once in a while. The pacing is a little slow for my highly Americanized tastes, but it’s gorgeous all the same. More Flash fun can be found on Wired’s Animation Express. Trying to get past page…

  • Interview with Eric Meyer

    This interview with Eric Meyer is a good read. Eric certainly seems to be at the forefront of CSS. If you have any interest in that or web development, I’d give it a quick scan.

  • Boston 24/7

    I’m entirely played out on the whole reality TV thing, but I sort of half watched Boston 24/7 tonight, and I have to say it’s a pretty good show. Not a huge fan of the slow blur transitions, but aside from that well worth checking out.

  • Drivin’ My Life Away

    This Road Safety Flash Movie Rocks! No, really. Eddie Rabbitt eat your heart out.

  • The Screen Savers

    Let me tell you tonight’s episode of The Screensavers was outstanding. You know usually it’s chock full of geeky goodness – well not full, but sometimes there is a chewy geeky center. Tonight though they really came through with the funny. Like 3 major belly laughs, not least of which is this pointless shockwave presentation…
