Mike Rosulek, a grad student at U. Illinois, has hit upon an excellent T-shirt design.  Check em out at his zazzle site where you can buy them.  Proceeds go to the National Center for Science Education.  I think I’ll be a purchasin.

Songbird 1.0 has finally been released!  If like me, you’ve been a follower since the early beta’s, you’re pretty excited.  If you don’t know anything about Songbird yet, you’ve got something to look forward to.
Songbird is, in essence, a music browser.  Based on the Mozilla framework, Songbird combines a music manager a la Itunes, with a browser that allows you to play music right off webpages, automatically subscribe to mp3 blogs so that music is automatically downloaded to your computer, and much more.  It can sync with your Ipod too.
Personally, I use Media Monkey for managing my main collection, but I use Songbird as a browser and to manage music downloaded from blogs.  I love the damn thing.  Check it out here.

I’ll probably be gettin’ me one of these T-shirts, and perhaps others to be found at amorphia apparel.  Some really clever designs there.
