iTunes Music Store is the best scheme I've seen for selling music online. I gave it a spin at Steve's house earlier tonight. Rumor has it that they're working on a Windows version. That would be great for me (and would mean a lot of cash for them).
Someday soon, I'm going to sit down and surf every link in Zeldman's externals section. Some great stuff there.

C'est finis. The move to the new host is complete. Looks like DNS has taken hold. So everyone should be served from the new servers now. It was a painless transition.

There's a line in Woody Allen's most underated film, Stardust Memories, where the main character (played by Allen, of course) is asked if an idea in one of his films is an hommage to Fellini. He replied, "No, we stole that idea outright." With that scene in mind, I hope everyone (but especially Garret) will enjoy this new theme.
The move to the new server is going well. If you can read this, then the DNS has picked up (for you, at least).
Check out Encyclopedia Mythica (at pantheon.org). It's a nice little encyclopedia of mythology.

British Invasion: Part I
After much frustration and deliberation, I'm switching hosts for all my projects from jtlnet.com to unitedhosting.co.uk. They're a British firm, but the servers are actually located in Texas, so there you go. This post is partly a test to see if I managed to correctly change my FTP settings in Blogger.
DNS will take time. Sorry if this troubles anyone.

Still on my philosophy kick: check out Hubert Dreyfus' (Professor of Philosophy at Cal Berkeley) lectures on existentialism in literature and film and Heidegger's Being and Time. These are in mp3, and are much smaller (about 7Megs/file) than the previous ones.

Broadband fun: some great philosophy lectures from a course at the University of Tasmania. Takes you back to freshman year, doesn't it?
Someone please tell the idiots on Fox news that "cache" is pronounced like "cash" and not as "cash-ay".

I've been looking for a web-based document management system for a while. terracotta looks like a good bet. It's PHP (doesn't even require a database), fairly free form, and simple to use. Would be handy if you only used it to create image galleries, though you can share all kinds of files with it. If you run in on Linux, it can auto-generate thumbnails for you. Nice touch. There's a live demo.

Two essential apps to make Windows a little friendlier: ShortPopUp and ChangeIcon (or here). ShortPopUp is an app you put in the quick launch area of your task bar. It works a lot like the "Apple Menu" under older versions of the MacOS, enabling you to create hierarchical menus to quickly launch pretty much anything. Has lots of customization options burried in the readme. ChangeIcon lets you change any icon just by rightclicking and selecting the one you'd like (why have they never built that into the OS?).
Film moment: My favorite documenary director, Errol Morris has a site, done in php.
