  1. Comcast Copies Hulu for Streaming Video with Fancast

    Update: Actually I was mistaken. In a weird user flow, they originally sent me to Fancast, which was obviously confusing to me. They have since sent me another email message with a direct link to their beta versions for TBS and TNT. This is what their streaming video page look like.

    In a stroke of unimaginative [...]

  2. Chilling Out at Work Listening to the Innocence Mission

    The nice thing about having a large music library is that I can rediscover artists all over again. Sometimes, I haven’t forgotten about them, I’m just taking a break. However, there are times when I’ve completely forgotten about an amazing band, only to stumble across them all over again.
    Today, that happened with the Innocence Mission. [...]

  3. Get an Endless Custom News Feed with Feedly and Chrome

    I’ve been using NetNewsWire for years, but it has continued to be a tremendous resource hog on my Mac. That’s mainly due to the enormous amount of feeds I subscribe to, and its inability to manage those feeds efficiently. One of the best ways to shift resources from my own computer to another is to [...]

  4. Pants on the Ground by Neil Young

    Larry Pratt sang a hilarious song called Pants on the Ground for an American Idol Season 9 audition in Atlanta, GA. Left alone, it was funny, but the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon show took it to another level of funny. They had Neil Young sing it, and it’s both hilarious and well done.

    Oh, and [...]

  5. I’m With Coco!

    Jay Leno’s jokes are hateful and annoying. He hasn’t been funny for so long that I don’t even remember the time I thought he was funny. Conan O’Brian on the other has always been funny, and continues to be funny. Another way to put it is that he continues to have comedic relevance.
    In the very [...]

  6. David Bazan Playing Live at Exit/In

    I’m pretty excited about seeing David Bazan again live. He’ll be playing at Exit/In on Wednesday, March 17, 2010. If you’re unfamiliar with David Bazan, you may know him from his band Pedro the Lion.
    I found a live set of David Bazan to hold me over until March. I consolidated the performance into one download [...]

  7. Thoughts About the Music Industry

    I was reading an article in the Tennessean this morning on state of the music industry. Sales for music labels have continued to decline. The writer stated that the downfall of the music industry started a decade ago when the original Napster hit the scene, and has been in a free fall ever since.
    At this point in [...]

  8. How to Find New Music

    I like music, a lot! In fact, I probably spend the most discretionary money purchasing music (digitally.) I often get asked by my friends how I find the music I listen to. The answer is that there’s many ways to find new and good music–like indie music that’s not many people have heard of, but is hundreds of times better than anything that floats on the Billboard music charts.

  9. Apple’s New LP Files Come with Free Fonts!

    Apple’s new LP format –which is designed to enhance the purchase of digital albums – is created using Web standards (and some not so standard-standards) that then use WebKit (built into iTunes) to render the content. As I expected, the LP file format (.itlp) is really just a package. For those who are unfamiliar with [...]
