I’ve had her song “Tallymarks” for a while now (got it via 3hive.com) and really like it. I visited her website and saw there are two other tracks to download so I grabbed those. On a hunch, I used the same URL format of the other free downloads and tried to download the other tracks the same way. To my surprise, it works! The whole album in 192kbps format is available. Get it while the getting’s good. If you like it, buy it!
Cool sci-fi flick coming out – uses cel-shading (or is it rotoscoping?). Has Keanu Reeves in it, but don’t hold that against it. A Scanner Darkly. Watch the trailer.
Here it is from Google Video:
I just finished watching the first episode of The IT Crowd and it is awesome. If you are a computer geek, you must watch it. Some examples of geekiness:
and the the big one…..The Flying Spaghetti Monster on the wall:
Also check this scene and notice the Atari 2600 in the background.
Good stuff. It’s almost as fun to watch and try to read/recognize all the stuff around the room.
UPDATE: According to this post, The IT Crowd will be back for a second season! WooHoo!
I was poking around today and found this list of del.icio.us pioneers. It shows who first links to pages that make the popular list. i.e. “Who keeps posting the most popular links?”. Oddly enough, *I* am on the list with three posts! Weird. Who knew?
I bought the domain name gruntbug.com today (well, yesterday now).
Why? Well, Gruntbug was my Quake/Quakeworld handle for a LONG time – it’s short for “Freddled Gruntbuggly” from the Vogon po3try from The Hitchhiker’s Guide. It’s also short, catchy, and easy to remember.
What am I going to do with it? Idunno. Probably nothing. Who knows?
