Lightweight Audio Playing Goodness
I recently got set up to get my work voicemail emailed to me as a wav file. I love it. The only hitch is that iTunes was set up as my default audio player, meaning when I opened the files from email I had to wait 5 seconds or so for the iTunes to load. Winamp seems to have become progressively more bloated over time and, while the new version loads faster than iTunes, it still takes too long. ...
Sounds like Paul Westerberg has been hanging out in the basement again. Which means, thankfully, he finally went back to work.
After another four-year hiatus partially brought on by a screwdriver-to-hand injury two years ago, the Replacements frontman quietly issued a new album this past weekend. He’s not really billing it as an album, though. Instead, it’s being sold as a...

“But if the work is good, don’t the clients know it when they see it?” I asked.
My boss just looked at me silently for a long time. And then, with...
Shawn Marion's Tattoo
Back in the summer of 2003, Shawn Marion got a tattoo down his right leg in Chinese lettering that was supposedly a translation of his nickname “The Matrix.” Only it wasn’t. I mean, it really, really wasn’t. Hanzi Smatter — a site dedicated to the misuse of Chinese characters in Western culture — noted that Shawn’s tattoo really means, uh, something...
