  • Jessie the Cat

  • Sell Your Music on iTunes and Rhapsody with TuneCore

    TuneCore is a new music distribution service that allows any artist to sell their music on iTunes or Rhaposody. What is really great about this is that they don’t take any cut from the sale. (You get 100% of what iTunes or Rhapsody pays out) and you don’t give up any rights or ownership of…

  • Molly, the Cat

    IMG_0089 Originally uploaded by EvilSpudBoy. Here is a picture of one of my cats, Molly. She was very small when this was taken–I called her Small-ie. Now that she is much bigger, I still call her Smallie. Isn’t she cute? She is a little slow. She was rescued from the streets, and the vet thinks…

  • Fairwell, QRIO, I hardly knew you.

    Engadget posted a story that Sony is ceasing development of the Aibo and QRIO robots. I’m very dissapointed about this. Sony just recently released Mind 3 for the Aibo. And QRIO’s abilities seemed very impressive also. You can read about QRIO’s cababilities and watch a demonstration on Sony’s site. I don’t know how long they…

    I thought I’d heard every blonde joke there is, but this is probably the best blonde joke ever.

  • Dell Inspiron and M-Audio Firewire Problem

    Not long ago, my homebuilt desktop computer died. This happened around the same time that Cakewalk started shipping Sonar 5. I had pre-ordered the upgrade to Sonar 5 and it when it arrived I was eager to try it out. Since I had also recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 6000 notebook computer and since it…

  • Just For the Taste of it… Diet Toke

    It seems that scientists have unlocked the secrets of how marijuana causes the munchies. This research could lead to the development of new drugs for the treatment of obesity. According to the article:

  • Cool Keyboard

    Check out the Optimus Keyboard. It’s very cool. Each key is made up of an array of OLEDs so that they can change function for various programs. Unfortunately it doesn’t exist. The site says it is supposed to be released in 2006 but that could be optimistic.

  • License and Registration, Please…Poopysnotface.

    In a recent post, Bruce Schneier writes about the problem of authenticating credentials when it’s not common knowledge how to distinguish fake credentials from real ones. He references a story about a man being pulled over by an officer who turns out to be a fake. And as Bruce states, “There’s no obvious way to…
