NE Train Ride – Taking iMovie ‘09 for a Spin

Of Genres and Tags
I have a completely tagged iTunes library. After several hours split between the previous two days, I have looked at every song in my library, every single one of the 12,332 songs that I have, and ensured that the song title, artist, album and genre are all correct.

It is with this belief that I purchased a Flip Mino HD, which isn’t actually available in Canada (see sidebar for more info). The camera arrived Monday, January 4th and I started playing with it immediately. Read on for a more in-depth review of this amazingly small camcorder.
Kanye West & Air
“Say You Will” by Kanye West sounds extremely similar (in style) to the Nomo Heroes remix of “Surfing on a Rocket” by Air.
What is Wrong With Steve Ballmer?
Snaps from today’s CES keynote, from Engadget. I have a hard time believing all of these were taken at awkward moments. Take a look at the guy controlling the company behind 90% of the world’s computers’ OSes*. Freaky!
On the plus side, at least we can see he isn’t shrinking.
* This sentence could have sounded a [...]
