Emphasizing the Uniqueness of Groups →
Last.fm groups are a great way to find people that share common interests not necessarily related to music, such as ear-chopped-off painter fans, car enthusiasts, and people that clearly like meticulous descriptions of their behaviour. Group aficionados have probably already noticed that it’s possible to listen to group radio, but unfortunately this has sometimes been a disappointing experience....
Testing Picard on OS X (Intel) →
If you have an intel Mac and would like to try out the first test of a PUID enabled Picard on OS X, please download this DMG and post a comment to let me know if it works.
This DMG:
Is for INTEL only
Only runs on OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Probably does not have working CD Lookup
Might be buggy
Is based on the 0.9.0 Picard tarball
Is NOT a Universal Binary
If this DMG works for people then I...
Today's Email: Best Alarm Clocks →
Last week week on this day we wrote about how we built our desks out of Ikea countertop and Vika legs (our favorite desk design), and today we’re running behind, wow, which means it’s the perfect day to roll out our 2008 list of Best Alarm Clocks! Stay on the pulse with a double shot: blog + email. If you’re not signed up, go for it right now (on the upper left nav)… AT...
Lightview 2: Not just images, now on... →
Nick Stakenburg has released Lightview 2, an update of his lightbox-esque library:
With the first released of Lightview I aimed to make overlaying images as elegant as possible, rethinking what we know as Lightbox. With Lightview 2.0 I’m going a step further, doing the same for
video (Quicktime), swf, Ajax, iframe and inline content.
You can do most of what you need via simple CSS...
Jack is back: Ext for Air and Vista →
Jack had posted a couple of entries back to back in the world of Ext. First, he has been playing with Air again, and quickly wrapped the Ext 2.0 docs in Air, which would have been helpful when I was hacking the Ext toy on the plane: Second, he has been playing with Vista gadgets and Ext and created a forum watcher that has the following gadget special code: PLAIN TEXT

Wall Decals from Harmonie Interieure →
We thought we were over wall decals. Then we saw these gorgeous ones from French company Harmonie Interieure, and, well, being suckers for typography… o la la! Sizes and prices vary. Approximately 17 euros-106 euros. Here Via: Poppytalk

Scamming the Scammers: 5 Brilliant Reverse 419... →
Countless people are victimized every year around the world by international scammers claiming to have access to fortunes through banks, royal families, business partners, deceased loved ones and more. Some clever crusaders, however, are fighting back in kind and scamming the scammers. In some cases these are downright hilarious!
iPhone Development Preview →
Craig Hockenberry (of Icon Factory/Twitterific) give us a glimpse of what development will be like for the iPhone via his personal/development blog. What can we expect?
Tossing most of your current UI code
Being way more careful about object/memory use
Relying on your Objective-C & Cocoa skills for visual element design since NIBs are non-esistent
Learning a whole new way to get input from...

From Bash to Z Shell →
If your usage of Mac OS X is the slightest bit “technical” then you should do yourself the favor of getting familiar with the extremely powerful shell environment. Even if you already know a dozen scripting languages far more expressive than the shell, there are still contexts in which the shell is just better suited for the job, and understanding the POSIX environment is knowledge that is very...
The Grammy In Mathematics →
An anonymous reader writes “A mathematician will receive a Grammy award for restoring the only known recording of a live Woody Guthrie performance — a bootleg someone made in 1949 using a wire recorder. Guthrie’s daughter, who had never heard her father perform in front of a live audience, oversaw the restoration. The article links very cool before and after clips.” Read more of...

News: Nadja Have Another Album Coming Out, Tour... →
We could just make this a permanent feature of the site With the hundreds of Nadja albums being produced every day, it may be hard to know where to start. Desire in Uneasiness— the most recent, for the next eight minutes or so— seems as good a place as any, marching though it does to a very different drummer than its predecessors.
Indeed, the addition of any drummer at all makes...
Buzzword →
What could possibly make words slicker than a politician on primary night? Adobe’s new online word processor Buzzword. It’s built on Flash and is amazing to look at and use. When you’re in it, you can almost forget it’s a web app. Still in preview, but worth checking out.
I’d love to see this run on AIR with direct ties to the online version. Giving you the option to work on and offline with auto...

RIAA Wants Songwriter Royalty Lowered →
NewYorkCountryLawyer writes “Lest there be anyone left who believes the RIAA’s propaganda that its litigation campaign is intended to benefit the ‘creators’ of the music, Hollywood Reporter reports that the RIAA is asking the Copyright Royalty Board to lower songwriter royalties on song file downloads, from the present rate of 9 cents per song — about 13% of the wholesale...

Want to use CSS sprites but you are too lazy to create them in Photoshop? Edward Eliot and Stuart Colville released a CSS Sprite generator quite a while ago that does the job for you. Now they topped this by releasing the source code of the generator on launchpad (get the tar file), in case you’d like to make the generation process a part of a release script or just want to run the generator on...
