Check out this 1.4 gigapixel photo of Obama's Inauguration!

BTW, anybody know who the two creepy-looking dudes in hats to Bush's left and behind Obama are? They seem like they might be Cancer Man's cronies. I think the guy immediately to his left is Cheney, but I'm not sure about the other one. -
Various Artists - Part 1 of 5
Soundtrack - Batman Forever - The tone of this soundtrack is muddy, edgy, and hip. Highlights are U2’s sexy Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me, Seal’s surprisingly melodic Kiss From a Rose, and Michael Hutchence’s low-key version of The Passenger. For a more obscure favorite, check out the sweet-voiced Eddi Reader’s track Nobody Lives Without ( Read more... ) -
Windows 7 notes
I believe that the Windows 7 beta is being taken down Saturday, so please make sure to download it and try it out!
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/beta-download.aspx
It should run fine on low-end PCs like netbooks. I've heard of some people running it successfully with 512MB ram, though that's lower than the official beta requirements, ( Read more... ) -

Lo-fi rock band The White Stripes go to lengths to maintain their aesthetic: “No computers were used during recording,” they proclaim in the liner notes of Elephant. They are Jack White and his sister ex-wife Meg. Jack writes and plays various instruments, usually piano and guitar. Meg drums, badly, but to be honest Jack makes just as many mistakes ( Read more... ) -
Windows 7
Windows 7 is coming out in beta this weekend. It's a no-brainer upgrade from Vista, as it is, for my purposes, a strictly superior OS. And if you're stuck on XP, it's finally time to move on. If you're running Leopard or Linux, there's probably nothing I can say to convince you anyway.

Crazy or Cellphone?
I enjoyed this well-written article. I still haven't gotten to the point where I hear someone talking to himself on the street and I assume he's on a cellphone, so this resonated:

Pats out
The Patriots (11-5) are out of the playoffs this year since both the Dolphins and Ravens won their games! They've had bad luck this year, I must admit, but I'm not complaining.
Meanwhile, the Colts at 12-4 will be matched up at either the Broncos or the Chargers, who are sitting at 8-7 and 7-8 right now and had easy schedules this year.

Weezer is an alternative rock band that has sounded more and more like a classic rock band as it matured. Weezer is best known for its geeky, offbeat lyrics, and an emotional core that is more personal than the bands it sounds like. It comprises singer/songwriter/guitarist Rivers Cuomo, and three others that lack distinctive voices.

The Wallflowers - Bringing Down the Horse - Jakob Dylan fronts this influenced rock band that was big in the mid-nineties. They hit here with the pop gem One Headlight and the rambling 6th Avenue Heartache. Jakob sings better than his dad (which isn’t saying much), and also has some of his songwriting chops. Touching moments intersperse this blue ( Read more... )
