Thursday, October 20, 2005. Is Google video a true challenger to Windows Media Player and the viable means to distribute video on the web that so far has been missing? I think so.

Sunday, February 12, 2006. Is the flagship product from the team that designed the Audioscrobbler system, a music engine based on a massive collection of Music Profiles. Each music profile belongs to one person, and describes their taste in music. Last.fm uses these music profiles to make personalized recommendations, match you up with people who like similar music, and generate custom radio stations for each person. A whole bunch of new features. This is pretty cool, but if you'd prefer to hear previews...

Musery: July 2005

http://northsteve.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html

Monday, July 11, 2005. Okay - so I may well be the only schmuck who simply doesn't "get it", but they say ignorance is bliss. Anything 'Tarantino' seems to make me feel the same way - splatter and shock (i use the word lightly) tactics didn't even come off due to a general numbing of the senses and as it slowly singed any neuronic activity under my skullcap (which I retained, unlike 99.9% of the characters in the film who seemed to lose theirs.). Bloodbath At The House Of Death was a stompier romp. Isn't...

Musery: March 2006

Friday, March 31, 2006. I figure I should provide an update of affairs 360-ish, given that a lot of activity has passed since my last post, and given that a lot of it is stupifyingly annoying. First up, the wireless router/XBLive disconnects situation. That would be the one that has been causing my XBLive connection to drop out. Despite having the Linksys set to totally open (unprotected) and the Xbox360 connecting in a DMZ, it would appear that it's not quite as 'compatible' as one might think. It's...

http://melissacooksgourmet.blogspot.com/2008/06/char-siu-and-chow-fun-with-chinese.html

Follow along as I cook all the recipes in The Gourmet Cookbook and Gourmet Today. Perhaps the most impressive of all the cookbook blogs are the three devoted to the 2004 edition of Gourmet magazine's "The Gourmet Cookbook" - all 5¼ pounds and 1,300-odd recipes of it. Befitting this culinary Everest, all three writers are overachievers in their professional lives.". Lee Gomes, The Wall Street Journal, May 28, 2008. Saturday, June 14, 2008.

Tuesday, August 02, 2005. ESRB Note: Game experience may change whilst drunken. Hang down your head Tom 'SaMbO' Dooley. hang down your head, and cry.". I must admit, not even I saw this one coming. No, not the 'hang my head in shame' bit (I've got enough fodder to keep my chin down for many a year to come) but had you spoken to me before the weekend I could've told you about how proud I am being a PS2 luddite. You name it and I probably own it, up to and including the GameCube and Xbox (my fav). Puzzling...
