Had to blog this before work

Saw this link to Webleedesign, courtesy of @deanjrobinson, and had to mention myself that it is WAY too cool. Scroll down, and follow the site, then click that top link when you get to the bottom. Transparent PNGs and scripting and CSS oh my!

As if we needed more proof…

I’m not gonna claim that last.fm is the end-all be-all of song playcounts, but it’s one of the biggest sites like it out there, so this is pretty accurate I’d say.

Spot the difference:

What a week. From the moment Radiohead announced their plans for latest release ‘In Rainbows’ we’ve been itching to see how you, the listeners, would respond. We let our friends over at Drowned In Sound in on some early data after just 12 hours. Now that our weekly charts are compiled there’s not much else to say apart from ‘Wowzer’. Below you can see the Last.fm global tracks chart for last week, and below that the official UK downloads chart for the same period. Spot the difference?

So, anybody who happens to read this, seriously, check out Mint. That’s all!

Spanning Sync

Just wanted to put a little note in here about this excellent (but very beta) piece of software I’ve discovered for syncing iCal & Google Calendar bidirectionally called Spanning Sync. Finally, iCal & gCal can play nice!

[Full disclosure: This post has been edited so that clicking on that link will provide you with a $5 savings and me with a $5 credit from Spanning Sync]

Really killer website

Lovely weather today. But more importantly, I’ve been using this kick ass website lately called la la. It’s a CD trading website. So you list all the CDs you have, tick off the ones you’d like to keep forever, and then go list all the CDs you want. Other people do the same, and the system notifies you if you have a CD somebody else wants, and asks you to ship it. They provide shipping envelopes & plastic cases for the CDs, and you pay $1 per every CD you receive from another. REALLY awesome. Check it out, my username on the site is berkleebassist.
