Every Web site that involves music in any way always seems to suggest Andrew Bird to me. Any anonymous site member with music in common with me, always seems to have Andrew Bird in their list.

Does anyone listen to Andrew Bird? What’s he like? I noticed Hutch does NOT have it in his collection.

Waffle.fm seems to be the best replacement for the defunct Oink.cd site. Of course, you need an invite and I don’t have one. Anybody on theScrabbled in on Waffle.fm?

This is all I have to say about my possible membership: I learned my lesson at Oink.cd. I intend on only using this site for the very rarest of files and will not abuse Waffles.fm availability when I could use PirateBay.org for damn near everything. And of course, I will seed for days after downloading (which I’ve always done).

This is the sort of article I’d read, pass on to a few web developer buddies, and let that be that. I usually don’t post these things here because it’d be like a lawyer posting an interesting article on the tax code (boring). But Microsoft has recently made a very controversial decision about their upcoming browser, one which many of you will end up using (by choice, laziness, or zealous corporate IT), that may break a large majority of the pages you open with it. Joel on Software explains it quite thoroughly and manages to make the subject seem pretty entertaining and exciting while he’s at it.

Dropbox is a web drive (as in a hard drive on the web) that instantly syncs any changes you make to the files within to all machines that are set up with your dropbox account. The screencast on the website seems pretty friggin’ awesome.
