Every Country and Its Talent
Well, sort of. This list is via IiB, and is pretty extensive. Almost all 183 countries, and something they are number one in doing / having / being. The source links are especially relevant. I haven’t, of course, read them all, but…how cool is this?

I’m changing the theme quite a bit, so don’t be alarmed if things are a bit different.
I’ve finally settled on this simple black-and-white number. I’d love some feedback, if anyone is listening. Anyone?

Arizona is Fucking Insane →
Well, this is just fucking ridiculous. An Arizona state senator is going to try to pass a law that directly contradicts the 14th Amendment. To The United States Constitution.
When will this insanity end? Soon, I hope?

…not really, but the article is worth a read. I happen to agree with Freire, and Fish seems not to, but as always, the article is well-written, its topic interesting, and its conclusion wrong.

I'm thinking of going with Grooveshark...
…for all of my Web music needs. Since Lala is shutting down soon, I need a new Web-based music sharing and discovery site. My needs:
stream my own full library from anywhere;
low monthly cost;
sharing features (direct links to particular songs for non-members);
mobile access;
good radio / recommendation engine.
My choices are ZunePass, Grooveshark…and what else?
I love...
