Foo Fighters
I just picked up the latest Foo Fighters album, “Echos, Silence, Patience & Grace”.
My 2 1/2 year old daughter and I just love it.
What floors me most about that is I can’t seem to play it loud enough for her in the car. Seriously. She asks me repeatedly to turn it up. Obviously I keep [...]
Radiohead - Missed Opportunity?
I got up this morning and smiled, realizing today was the day I could d/l the new Radiohead album, In Rainbows.

Almost two million, people are doing their virtual thang in Linden Lab’s world now, so [...]

Link to Sharecrow - Their Movies - Your Voice
Ok, I don’t get it. I’m either a crony traditionalist or just not quite as savvy as I’d like to think I am, so call me retarded when I say: I’m not interested in downloading other people’s commentaries about movies, editing them, and integrating/attaching them to [...]

reacTable website (I think the clips stream better here)
The potential for this control interface is reTarded! I think writng music on my coffee table is a pretty fine idea. There doesn’t seem to be any latency at all, which is awesome. Without knowing anything about what that [...]
