I am Totally into Podcasts

Monday, October 31st, 2005

Bring 'em on - the more the merrier. I gravitate towards the tech podcasts (This Week in Tech, Diggnation, CNET BuzzCast, SETI) and news casts - NPR has a ton of their stuff available for download. I drive a lot for work and regular radio is just not ...

Mike Is Hooked On DriveTime

Monday, October 31st, 2005

I'm not that into Podcasts. I have one that I listen to regularly: This Week In Tech. And to be honest I really don't do much in the way of exploring for new Podcasts because I feel like the pool has been too diluted with 16 year old ...

Radio is Dead! Long Live Last.fm!

Monday, October 31st, 2005

I've always had a love-hate relationship with online radio stations. It's great to hear new music that you don't have in your own collection, but it totally sucks to have to wade thru crappy song after crappy song in-between gems. Too often it seems like someone had a ...

Guy Makes DOS Website, Cool For a Minute or Two

Monday, October 31st, 2005

File this under trendy / weird websites. 20-goto-10.com is a website that's navigation kind of emulates DOS. Its fun for a little bit as you play around with it but then after you try out each of the 10 commands you get tired of it. The navigation is fun, ...

Who Uses 800×600? Anyone?

Sunday, October 30th, 2005

Recently, at Gagetopia, Deane did some research to see what resolution most of his readership is using for the window opening on their browser. (He didn't use total screen resolution because not everyone keeps their browser window maximized...especially true for us OS X users.) Deane found that 90% of ...

Perez Hilton Goes Down…Because of A Hacker

Friday, October 28th, 2005

PerezHilton.com, the wonderfully trashy gossip site, was taken down today by a hacker. I'm not sure, but I'm picking up on a little hostility vibe from Perez about the whole thing: Yes, we were hacked today. But, like the fucking cockroach that Perez is, not even nuclear anihiliation can take him ...

The America’s Next Top Model Recap

Friday, October 28th, 2005

UPN's America's Next Top Model is a fantastic show, not fantastic enough to watch it instead of the World Series, but definitely good enough for me to flip to during the commercials. However, flipping back and forth is not how one should be watching a TV show, especially one ...

iTunes Essentials: MORE COWBELL!

Wednesday, October 26th, 2005

Someone's been having a bit of fun over at the iTunes Music Store... Invented by dairy farmers for use in fog, the humble cowbell has evolved into a vital component of rock's percussive arsenal: hit with enough style and vigor, it can make the difference between a track that rocks, and ...

Are PowerPC Macs Down To Their Last Four Years?

Wednesday, October 26th, 2005

Now that I have just plunked down some currency and bought one of the new iMacs, what do you say we start a discussion and see how depressed I can make myself (with some help from you)? According to Chris Adamson, Apple computers purchased today have about a four ...
