If you’re looking to stream music from your home computer to other locations (like your work computer, iPhone, Android, whatever), check out Subsonic. This isn’t an ad, this application kicks ass. I’ve been using it for about a year now and always forget to give them a shout so here it is.

Miles Davis

Scott — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 01:05:17 +0000

I can’t say I’ve ever thought about what Miles Davis’ classic album “Kind of Blue” would sound like if it was ion 8-bit, but apparently someone else did. Warning: they want actual cash for the whole thing. The samples are well worth the visit though.

There’s no pedobear yet, but I’m still diggin’ the new Firefox Personas thingamabob.

Mozilla breaks up Firefox

Paul — Thu, 07 May 2009 14:03:47 +0000

If you’re like me and enjoy your FireFox extensions a little too much and acquire too many after awhile, hopefully breaking up each tab into its own process (a la Google Chrome an supposedly IE 8, which i was unaware of) will make FireFox more stable and not have the whole browser crash due to one tab’s malfunction.

Chop up sections of youtube videos

Paul — Wed, 06 May 2009 21:59:16 +0000

Ever wanted to share just a portion of a youtube video? Now you can with TubeChop (cannot see that they allow other flash video sites, but don’t think they do…for now)

Netflix

I love watching Netflix instantly on my Xbox 360, but I like others hate their interface for finding available movies. Instant Watcher simplifies the process.

Pretty Loaded

You know the “now loading” Flash preloaders you sometimes see on particularly busy websites, but now see a little less as broadband gets more popular? Watch one after another (after another (after another)) and relive some of them from 2002-2008. Look, I don’t know why you’d want to either, just go there already.

Switzerland

The Electronic Frontier Foundation has released a new (if not for amateurs yet) app that lets you test your ISP for torrent and VOIP throttling: Switzerland Network Testing Tool.

Watchmen

The first official trailer for the movie adaption of Watchmen is online. The geek in me just did a little sigh of happiness.

GLaGPS

Scott — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 23:22:00 +0000

If I had a GPS I would love to implement the Genetic Lifeform and Global Positioning System, if only to annoy my wife.

Dance Off with the Star Wars Stars

If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing Darth Vader dancing to Thriller, here you go. (He makes an appearance around the 3 minute mark)

FontStruct lets you build your own fonts and download many others for free. Neat!
