Making money is something altogether a different subject, but once you have it you should let it work...

Secrets of Alexa Rank and Broken Redirect

Since the beginning of January, Alexa Redirect links have been deprecated and no longer function. They work as a prevention to get to your site. It used to be possible to inject your link with a forced redirect from alexa: http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?http://liquidparallax.com would tell Alexa someone is going to my homepage. It was debated whether this...

My Greatest Hits: Chart Topping Posts and Personal Faves

The year is about through and I’d like to scan through the past of liquidparallax.com. I’m usually the person who scolds other site for doing “This Month’s Best Posts Roundup,” but this is slightly different. In over a year of doing this blog, I’ve never put myself in an egocentric position and said “Internet users...

Recording Internet Radio is Illegal? [Copyright]

The U.S. has laws and the laws enforce and prohibit certain activities and protect certain rights. It gets tricky, even if you are a lawyer because some instances and cases have not been settled in court or defined explicitly in an Act or law. For instance, did you know that each recording device sold requires...

Album Review: Mono/Stereo [Westerberg]

In comes Grandpaboy and Paul Westerberg doing the old one-two. Unless you’ve heard of Westerberg or know of the Replacements, you may be oblivious to the underrated CDs known as Mono and Stereo. It was my first ever purchase from the Paul catalog. It’s been one of my favorite discs and certainly one of the...

Concert Calender + free mp3s = good idea.

Podbop has rolled out with a new way of bringing music to you. They have a list of artists on tour with mostly full length samples of what they sound like. You can also see who is coming into your town and grab a free track or two before you decide to go to the...

Easy batch download for mp3s (betterPropaganda)

Instead of wasting time downloading things by hand, page by page, clicking links generated from javascript, right clicking to save or waiting for each save dialog box, you could be using a download manager to automatically grab certain files from links off of a page. DownThemAll is my choice for Firefox. Let’s say you want...

Mp3tag Actions Empower Your Digital Collection

There are times when I persist in the most random things. Sometimes it’s productive; other times it betters my life in no significant way. What I’m about to show you is very handy, but the amount I spent tinkering on it didn’t save me too much effort. Well, it actually did shape up 20,000 of...

Get Back Your Sleeping Schedule/Be in Bed on Time

Can’t go to sleep? Want to be in bed earlier, but it’s impossible? I know what it’s like. I can usually stay asleep, but initiating sleep at the right times is a hassle sometimes. Whether for school or work or peace of mind, we all need rest that is compatible with our schedules. It’s common...

Unawarer’s Guide to Paul Westerberg

Yes, I just invented a word, unawarer: n. a person who is unaware or not familiar. And this here is a guide, not a tour guide, but a textual guide to spread the thought-provoking butter that is Paul Westerberg and the musical bread that was The Replacements. If you have glanced over my site you’d...

iTunes Custom Sorting for Power Users

Forgive my use of the words “power users.” I don’t write exclusively for the advanced. I tend to write simplistically even when the task is a bit in-depth. This one is actually pretty easy (but explaining the default sorting abilities is a nightmare). I’m using 7.0.2 I believe, so if you are the type who...
