    • 2:42 Joshua Allen (aka Fireland) uses Science! to determine the perfect song length: two minutes and forty-two seconds.

    • Acapella Nintendo It's not often I find something that appeals equally to two such disparate sides of my childhood, but this video of University of Wisconsin acapella group Redefined singing Nintendo theme songs manages to pull it off...and quite well, at that.
    • Nine Inch Nails releases single for GarageBand Oh, _wow_ but this is cool. Trent Reznor has released NIN's new single, 'The Hand that Feeds', as a 70Mb GarageBand file.

    • Alexa website reviews I didn't notice this last night when I was poking around with Amazon's A9 search engine, but Amazon has tied the search results into their Alexa website ranking tool with a little 'Site Info' button at the tail end of search result.

    • A sci-fi museum? Cool! Paul Allen, the Microsoft Corp. co-founder and eclectic billionaire philanthropist, is expected to announce today his plans to build a Seattle facility to celebrate science-fiction literature in the same way his Experience Music Project honors popular music.
    • We lost the war An excellent editorial from truthout that covers the same points (plus many more) that I brought up while responding to a recent comment. They do it far better and far more in depth than I do, though.
    • Tim Robbins probably says good stuff According to the Daily Kos, Tim Robbins gave a good speech to the National Press Club. The excerpt they have is good.
    • Syria's political brilliance So picture this — the US vetoing a resolution calling for the banning of all WMDs from the Middle East. In one fell swoop, Syria has negated the charges of WMDs against it, exposed the US's hypocrisy on WMDs (our allies can have them, everyone else can't), solidified its leadership of the Arab world, and forced the US to veto a seemingly common sense resolution, after blasting France and Russia for threatening vetoes on Iraq.
    • Penis! This made me laugh — The Penis Blog Project. Needless to say, this is NSFW (Not Safe For Work), and an open mind and good sense of humor is encouraged.
    • Memories of Meier Lake Summertime in Alaska. One of the few things that I miss about living up there. Not enough to move back — but I do miss it.
    • No more 404's I just implemented a very nice little PHP script for my website that ties into my site search function — the end result being that my site no longer has a '404 File Not Found' error page!

    • Hello from Microsoft! This is mostly just me being silly -- I wanted to grab a chance to make a post to my blog from within the Microsoft domain.

    • Redesign in progress In case you hadn't already noticed by the dramatic change in the look of the site, I'm in the process of redesigning. No real reason, other than that I thought it was time for a change -- I do this every so often.
