I have given a lot of thought lately about antiperspirant. Most people don’t give it any thought and others might have some shifty knowledge about it. I’m the person that enjoys new information and likes to learn. Unfortunately, there are certain things I’d like to know about but lacks no definitive information. What I was… Continue reading Antiperspirant is No Sweat

Uncheck All Items in iTunes Library
Someone recently contacted me with this question and I figured I’d share it with everyone. They found me from a search from organizing checked items for iTunes. What I am about to show you how to do isn’t very new, but it is a trick that might come in handy in cases that require desperate… Continue reading Uncheck All Items in iTunes Library
Obscure CDs: Heartbreak Town by The Stand
Every now and then I am going to review an obscure, rare, or under appreciated piece of music that can be found in discount racks or elsewhere for dirt cheap. Think of these as Amazon steals (but nothing illegal), complete with personal notes or cool background info. This first one I’d like to share is… Continue reading Obscure CDs: Heartbreak Town by The Stand
Google Key Words Don’t Unlock Doors
SEO and keyword ranking is a big deal to white collar internerds, but I look at it as an arbitrary location up to google to shuffle around. I don’t need to be on the front page for the search 11 best 2007 (notice the permalink to that page is /ten-best-places-to-search-free-music/, although I changed the title).… Continue reading Google Key Words Don’t Unlock Doors

Declaration of Belated Independence
Like any other holiday in America, people get offended by celebrations. It’s not polite to wish a Merry Christmas. Instead we shall consolidate all holidays as to not offend minority holidays (please note that we don’t care about offending people, just the holiday itself). Today is the 4th of July. Nobody calls it by its… Continue reading Declaration of Belated Independence
MySpace Masks Links for Spam
I’m not sure when they did it since I’m not a constant user, but MySpace has come out with another flawed improvement on their site. All external links are hidden behind msplinks.com redirects. What does this mean? Well, when you hover over a link that leaves myspace, you’ll see in your status bar a link… Continue reading MySpace Masks Links for Spam
Free CD from a British Beer Co.
In no way am I endorsing drinking alcohol or moving to the UK, but I stumbled on an oddball freebie from Bass.com that will send a Neo-British Invasion double-disc (2xCD) if you are capable of legally drinking (21+ and don’t live in TX or CA). No shipping cost or anything. Although this might not be… Continue reading Free CD from a British Beer Co.

And it works on many mp3 players, not just Apple. Rockbox for the 5G iPod does not manage… Continue reading Upgrade your iPod with Rockbox
