Yesterday I stopped thinking of my Nokia N800 as merely a handy albeit flawed media player and e-mail device but as an awesome tool. At college I noticed I had forgotten to take along an important document. I knew I had it at home but getting someone to mail it to me seemed rather inconvenient, since giving all the instructions to find it and mail it seemed to be a bother. Then it occurred to me...

Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania put it this way: “If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest. …” I hate to say it, but things are playing out pretty much as...

RoelG:
Soundamus checks your last.fm favorite artists against a list of new and upcoming album releases. Looks like a winner!
I buy a lot of CDs. In trying to keep up with which of my favourite artists are releasing new CDs, I’ve had a habit of checking Metacritic’s upcoming releases calendar, the 17dots blog and eMusic’s woefully inadequate New Releases page for new releases....

Forrester research predicts that come the end of 2008, there’ll be a billion computers in use throughout the...
So, our (jazz/funk-oriented) big band’s still without a name. The music school we’re connected to is located between the “Midway” and the “Highway”, among other streets.
