Ogg Beats MP3
When people think of digital audio, you think of MP3: The motion picture group’s layer-3.
But, there are other formats in town: AAC, WMA, MP-4 and many others.
One of the most interesting ones is Ogg Vorbis. Not only is it completely open source (and free of any restrictions), but it also sounds better. One of the best features is that it corrects a huge mistake that is implicit with MP3: Cannot handle gapless audio playback. So if you want to listen to that great live album or Pink Floyd CD, you have to absorb a little skip in the music. My personal tastes in music side towards the electronic/dance music realm. The whole art of it is in the seamless transition between one track to another. MP3 doesn’t handle this problem. Ogg does!
Try out ogg. You won’t go back.

It seems like I spend more time in my kitchen than any other room in the house. (Technically, I should say “waking” time.) Why Are You Spending So Much Time In the Kitchen? About three years ago, Marni and I renovated the kitchen in our 1960s split-level ranch house in Boulder. Where our “old” kitchen

Hasidic Hip Hop: Ta-Shma’s Come Listen: A Review

I'm not sure what's in the water in Williamsburg, Brooklyn these days, but something is making those Hasids produce doped out, modern pop music. I'm not talking about some klezmer-infused, folkie music with Yiddish lyrics that nobody but my Grandma would understand (with due respect to the awesome Klezmatics). We're talking about music that could
An excellent stock photography site.

I just recently stumbled upon an excellent stock photography website. It's called Fotolia and it offers outstanding photographs for as little as $1 (for the low-resolution version)! Thee photos are outstanding, completely royalty free and, with few limitations, can be used as much as you want within your materials. I recently used a bunch of

If you are in the business of building digital dashboads, those web-based executive views that give you, instanatly a sense of the health of things, then check out DashboardSpy . Personally, I think good design always comes from other good design. In other words, take pieces of other sites, and use them as our own.
