Earth III

Earth III

A song performed by the Super Furrys that required the audience to wiggle their hands above their heads. For acoustic reasons, natch.

Super Furry Animals

Super Furry Animals

God, I love this band. Stonking concert last night, which bounced all over their albums.

A handy example of how cellphone cameras have improved over the last four years.

Photojojo’s Photo Time Capsule

Get an occasional email containing photos you uploaded to your Flickr account a year earlier. Micronostalgia. Lovely!

CoverSutra

Got this as part of MacHeist recently, and dismissed it as “pointless eyecandy”. I couldn’t be more wrong — While it is graphically-lovely, it allows for keyboard control of iTunes (including tasks like rating tracks) and is a lower-memory last.fm client than the official last.fm client. Added to my Login Items!

YouTube - VIVA OBAMA 2008

Well, if a mariachi band won’t bring out the “hispanic vote” in Texas, I don’t know what will…

My new business cards

My new business cards

Got these printed by PSPrint. The typeface is the smart-yet-sketchy Sketch Rockwell.

(If I'd had more cash to spend on them, I'd have liked to have gotten them cut with rounded corners, but that's for another day -- once I've handed out all 500 of these puppies!)

Of course, now I need to regrow my beard so I look like my avatar again...

Obama of Dreams

Obama t-shirts in a baseball-logo stylee. (Notably lacking in any donation to the campaign, though)

taint.org: Vote for Dustin on Saturday

Amazing! Ireland’s potential Eurovision entry treats Eurovision with precisely the seriousness it deserves. Best entry since “Guildo Horn and the Orthopedic Stockings”?

Venture Capital Wear

T-shirts for VCs. “Not Even Powerpoint Can Save You Now”

The World’s Greatest Music Collection - eBay

3m records and 300k CDs, for $3m? Bargain! /me runs off to ask for line increase on my credit cards

Newegg.com - Western Digital 250GB Notebook Hard Drive

Reportedly, the perfect thing to supersize the diskspace of your MacBookPro. Wicked tempted to get one, cause iTunes is bastard-slow when your 116Gb MP3 collection is on a network drive.

Some People Have Real Problems

CD Purchase: Sia - Some People Have Real Problems

Her cover of "I Go To Sleep" (the best Ray Davies song the Kinks never recorded) is sublime.

Music using ONLY sounds from Windows XP and 98!

Posted mostly because it’s clever, but also because I miss hacking on MOD files.
