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
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
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”?

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.
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.
