  1. Pop music is usually better when (1) you're infrequently exposed to it and (2) it's in a language you don't speak.
  2. Watching "From the Earth to the Moon." It's good, and shockingly topical. (When I Netflixed it, I didn't know an anniversary was coming.)
  3. New to me: iTunes extrapolates album ratings from as few as two ratings of songs in an album. They appear as hollow stars on unrated tracks.
  4. Also--last thing about GReader I swear--there's essentially no difference at scanning speed between 1 like and 1000. So it's mostly useless.
  5. That said, right now it just seems useless. Without any sensitivity to what I personally like, it's like having Digg in my feedreader.
  6. Interesting: Google Reader's adding Like counts to items. Aesthetically it's even more hodge-podge, functionally I think it has potential.
  7. 231st time Firefox's auto-save failed because I Xed the browser before the download list. And I stopped saving it manually a week ago. Grrr.
  8. So Verizon's not getting the iPhone, then? http://bit.ly/1IxQ6L
  9. In the blue corner: a shake with 2600 calories and 135g of fat (http://is.gd/1tPkk). In the red corner: your heart, health, and guilt.
  10. My guess is that I somehow got it open twice, didn't realize the windows were the same, hit publish in one and later save in the other.
  11. Some series of actions appears to have led to a post getting published, pushed to my feed, mostly overwritten, and then marked a draft. ?
  12. Idea: A Roomba-like robot hat for easy baldness or buzz cuts.
  13. Today it finally dawned on me: I just don't get mockumentaries. Now I want to know why.
  14. RT @scottsimpson "I've listened to Autotune the News [5] "It's the Smoke" 32 times. It holds up." Amen. Currently my favorite song.
  15. Idea: Browsers should monitor and display some sign that a tab/window is making noise. Also, how was this not built 5 years ago?
  16. Those who deride auto-tuning are the Luddites of the new sonic landscape.
  17. I had my doubts, but Auto-Tune the News #5 is great. I'd buy an album for this song alone. http://bit.ly/tso0B
  18. I'm loading Twitter to say "Feed Reader Zero." It's been weeks. You can now go back to talking about sandwiches. And Iran.
  19. I find the phrase "time was" grating. Even "once upon a time" seems preferable.
  20. The Eels's "Hombre Libre" reminds me of Beck. In a good way. Currently $4 on Lala ( http://www.lala.com/#album/... ).
