R.E.M. Around The Sun Redux NEW R.E.M.!

The iTunes Music Store has a 3 minute montage of track snippets from R.E.M's upcoming album, Around The Sun. I can't wait.

>Get a free taste of R.E.M's new album, Around The Sun, with an iTunes-exclusive album sampler. This world premiere, "Around The Sun Redux," packs snippets of "Leaving New York," "Around The Sun," "Wanderlust," "Electron Blue," and "I wanted to Be Wrong" into one 3-minute melodic treat. Get it while it's hot, only on iTunes.

The album is due for release Oct. 4-5.

First Album: Sedona, Labor Day 2004

Jodi and I went to Sedona with her parents (who were in town for the weekend) and went hiking up to Cathedral Rock. Now, the nice lady at the visitor's center told us about the 1.5 mile hike to Cathedral Rock, along the treeline next to Oak Creek... she neglected to mention the hot barren .75 mile stretch before you get to the creek, and the barren .5 mile stretch after the creek. Or the .6 mile 600' technical ascent to Cathedral Rock at the end. I think she was trying to kill us.


Photomonk gallery

I've started my first photo gallery site: Photomonk. It uses Pictorialis II, a gallery app built on |WordPress|.


Fitts' Law and sidebar/nav links

To re-read and consider: |Mezzoblue| -- Fitts' Law > On the web that means the bigger your link area, the better.


Quick Review: "Miracle" not so miraculous

|Jodi|'s parents are in town for the holiday weekend, and last night we watched Miracle, the story of the 1980 US Olympic hockey team and their quest to beat the indomitable Soviets in the Lake Placid games. All in all, a good story, a classic underdog story.


iTunes Affiliate Program

Ok, so I signed up for the iTunes Music Store affilliate program to see what all the hoopla is about. So far I'm not impressed - the only options for links that are available are an iTunes logo that links to the iTMS. I'm hoping that they will add a way to link to specific products, like you can with Amazon's affiliate program. This would make so much more sense in the context of a weblog site, what with all the "what I'm listening to" links out there.

iMac G5!

Well, everyone else is going to be pointing to the all-in-one marvel, so I might as well too.
