Ahhhh.

Brand spankin' new 160 gig iPod Classic is currently chugging away. It'll be nice to have something that'll carry ALL of my music on it, allowing me to dump tunes off my laptop.

It's shiny.

No real time lately to do much of anything but work -- which is funny, given that I'm technically unemployed -- but my friend Art sent me this link and I think now, I completely adore Joel Johnson.

It's weird. It more or less channels what went through my head in every pointless meeting I had at Microsoft.

I've been monkeying with the last.fm "social" music site -- I'm still generating a playlist (which is time consuming) -- but I'm enjoying it.



Obviously, I've just started playing songs for last.fm to use as a base for favorites, but this, coupled with the very, very cool RSS / blog aggregator, Spokeo is a promising web package.

Here endeth the geek stuff.

[Edit: Now, if there was an easy way to stream the RSS feed of recently played songs into a sidebar module on my LJ, I'd be very happy... hm... any ideas, you savvy tech people, you?]

My first blog post using Firefox.

How nice.

Tabbed browsing, meet my laptop. Laptop? Meet tabbed browsing.

So long, IE...

Warren Ellis, possibly my favorite futurist comics writer, has posted an article on the ComicCon site, positing a sort of hyperlinked, contextualized, wiki-style backstory methodology for individual comic books.

Damn, I wish we had time to do this for the Perfect Dark comic. We're TOTALLY doing this for the hypothetical next series.

Check it out.

Added to my links list: Buzztracker, which is a graphical representation of the volume of news generated by a specific location. So, if there's considerably more info coming out of, say, Kuwait than, for instance, Singapore, you can see it on a map. Clicking on specific "buzz" hot-spots brings you comprehensive links to the news stories sniffed out and used to generate the map.

Nifty.
