Tracks I had never heard before

This morning, after watching part of Episode 8 of Battlestar Gallactica Classic on Hulu, I fired up the Last.fm and began listening to wysiwysell's radio station (he is seedoflife on Twitter). Viktor Vaughn's Back End was the first track that played. I liked it. In fact, every track that played after that was to my liking.

Roney asked me who it was I had heard while listening to his radio. It was lunch time anyway, so I went and screencapped the list. Here you go, Roney. Screencapture was quickest method for me. I wish Clipmarks would preserve the stucture better, because if they did, I'd've used it and then just posted the clip. :-)

Quote: The Important Story About OpenSocial

clipped from www.sixapart.com
  • The important story about OpenSocial is what it enables for people, not the politics between big companies.
    • Was reading through the bullet list of this blog post and thought this one bullet point was rather well said. I think all of the social application vendors should make this their number one goal..

    "Happy Ice Cream" - The Art of Jinxing in Japan

    I passed one of my (Japanese) coworkers in a tight area between desks today and we both said 'Sumimasen' (Excuse me) at the same moment. The first thought that came to my mind immediately after was 'Jinx!' I was rather delighted that I had dredged up that old childhood memory that I wanted to share it with her. However, I had no idea if there was a Japanese equivalent. Most likely not as those kinds of gems are cultural, not essentials like saying you're sorry.
    But that wasn't the best part. I then began to explain to the younger coworker how I used to use it as a kid to solicit free favors from people ala 'JINX! Buy me a Coke!' (Or simply 'jinx'. There are probably as many ways to say it in the US as there are Americans.) And she then said, 'OH! HAPPY ICE CREAM!'
    So we looked it up in one more dictionary, and sure enough, there it was... jinx. Listed as an American slang term in reference to superstition. Holy cow.
    Found this on a new Twitter friend's blog. My wife and I play the jinx game all the time. I'm forwarding this clip to her as I think she'll think the story is cute, because she's interested in Japanese culture as well.

    iPhone Doesn't Support A2DP

    clipped from www.a2dp.info

    No, iPhone has no A2DP Bluetooth profile, and it has been a real surprise. It only offers HSP/HFP Bluetooth profile (Headset Profile/Handsfree Profile) for mono headsets, which is not enough – you can use it only for phone conversations. A2DP's first distinguisher is Stereo of high quality for music listening.

    You can try using Bluetooth dongles, if you don't mind paying another hundred of dollars and get a clumsy composition with another one device to charge. These are, for instance, Belkin Bluetooth Dock Adapter for iPod, Oakley iCombi Bluetooth stereo adapter for iPod, iMuffs Bluetooth Transceiver, or 8bananas STK-200 iPods Dock Connector which works good with iPhone, as users state.

    I just learned what A2DP is, today. You see, I'm in the market for a new pair of headphones and thought I'd do some research. A2DP allows you to stream high quality stereo sound to bluetooth headphones. There are some nice A2DP-capable noise-canceling headphones out there, but, since the iPhone doesn't yet support A2DP, it looks like there's no point in me buying them.

    So I think I'm just gonna go with a regular pair of noise-canceling headphones for the time being. Once the iPhone supports A2DP, I'll consider selling my headphones or gifting them to family and then buy some nice A2DP noise-canceling headphones that also have a mic.

    Rotate infinitely 360 degrees

    Two angled positions

    Cable management, using the center split base (see photo below)

    I think I want this for my desk at the office. It would also come in handy in the bed, sitting on top of a laptop table.
