• Last.FM / Pandora Internet Radio – I suggest using Last.FM because it’s more social. You can see what others listen to. Here is my Last.FM
• Spinner CD Listening Party or Aol – These are AWESOME. They are a good way to listen to full CD’s before they are released.
  A good way to expand your ears.
• NPR Music – All Songs Considered – Song of the Day, Concerts, Interviews are an awesome source of new music information. Plus they are really cool and funny.
• Metacritic – Takes a bit of searching, but a great place to see what is Acclaimed.
• Best of …. Lists – It’s always good to hear what others liked last year. Chances are, you will like it too!
• Billboard - I go here when I want to find pop music. It beats listening to top 40 radio.

Then, when you find music. Buy It For Cheap On Amazon (Current Bestsellers)!

Cracked.Com Charts

There are so many completely idiotic comments on YouTube that it makes all comments and discussion pointless. Is there nothing that can be done? Someone must stop all of 12 year old boys!

Here is a funny article on Cracked.com that sums it up quite well:

Ended up not needing them. The run was nice. 2 or 3 miles.

A good woman will pick you apart
a box full of suggestions for your possible heart
But you may be offended, and you may be afraid
but don’t walk away, don’t walk away

First,
I watched Linus Torvald rip all the other SCM’s a new one here:

Then I watched,

Then, I went to http://github.com/ and setup my own public git repository.
(you can make it private, if you pay. but who would want to do that? viva la open source!)

Then I setup a clone of my Darkness is Spreading Game (dis-game):
Public Clone URL: git://github.com/danfolkes/dis-game.git
Github Home Page: http://github.com/danfolkes/dis-game/tree/master

I want to thank github for making things so awesome and easy to setup. They seem to really know a lot about helping n00bs.

Taken from their homepage:

Not only is Git the new hotness, it’s a fast, efficient, distributed version control system ideal for the collaborative development of software.

GitHub is the easiest (and prettiest) way to participate in that collaboration: fork projects, send pull requests, monitor development, all with ease.

gin rummy iphone ipod touch game itunes apple

I have found this great new Gin Rummy App on the Apple ITunes Store for the iPhone or iPod Touch.

It has really good graphics and has some really good game functions. In the next few versions, it might even have multiplayer.

Made by: http://neuroticnerd.com/blog/

In the year 2920, the Golden Age of Psionics is unlocking worlds of
possibilities for humankind. The psionically gifted are recruited at
a young age to participate in the Planetary Defense Force’s psi-ops
program, where their talents are honed through
cybernetically-interactive mind games. These games can reprogram the
trainees’ subconscious minds for optimal psionic output, all in
parallel with the conscious effort toward solving the puzzle.

DARKNESS IS SPREADING

The popular puzzle game coined “Darkness Is Spreading” is a
user-friendly version of a standard P.D.F. training exercise. It has
been repackaged into a geometric format which can be understood by
normal humans, but it also contains metasensory ’shortcuts’,
accessible through the game’s cybernetic interface, which only the
psionically gifted will be able to detect.

The P.D.F. has now made this unique game available to the public, in
an effort to more effectively scout out talented individuals. The
game can in fact be solved consistently in less than twice as many
moves as there are colors on the grid, no matter what the grid’s size.
Those who are capable of this feat are solicited for recruitment into
the P.D.F., where they will use the quantum-formatted version of the
game in the training of their psi abilities.

HOW TO PLAY

The goal of the game is to cover the grid with black tiles. The
player starts with several black tiles scattered throughout the
initial grid. Clicking a colored tile adjacent to a black tile will
eliminate it, along with any other tiles of the same color which are
connected to it. In fact, any tile connected to the black area by the
same color will be eliminated, causing the black to spread in multiple
directions.

As players carve a path through the grid, the black areas will grow,
and more colored tiles may be removed at a time. Aiming for long
chains of a single color can open up the grid at a faster pace. If
you have the ‘gift’ — along with the necessary brain implants to plug
in to the cybernetic interface, of course — you will notice even more
ways to cut your move count down… but even if you cannot compete
with the psionically adept, you can still try to beat your personal
best scores with repeated play. No two games are the same!

Prepare yourself for a challenge which may unlock talents you never
dreamed you had. Prepare to spread the Darkness.

Document Elaboration on the Core Formats

A site I created so that collaborating on Photoshop, Illustrator, GIMP, SVG files would be easier. All of those binary formats that are complicated to share and elaborate on.

I hope this is helpful to many people. Especially in the Open Source world.

Supports: PSD,AI,PDF,XCF,SVG.

Thanks,
Daniel Folkes

Hope you enjoy.

I have been using it for a while and I thought I would let you know.

It’s the type of theme that really simplifies what Firefox shows you. It looks like someone went through the default theme and removed the color and made things a tad smaller.

I recommend it.
