This just in! I now understand why Iridial Recordings gives away their recordings for free. They seem to specialize in Avant Garde ‘music,’ and man, you can’t give that stuff away no matter how hard you try. Have a listen. If you can force yourself to sit through to any of their albums all the…

You know those spy radio transmissions I was talking about a few days ago? Well I found that the publisher of The Conet Project, Irdial Recordings, has an extremely liberal free music policy which applies to their entire catalog. That is rocking. So now, for your enjoyment, here is the complete downloadable four-CD set of…
Wow. It must suck to work for Steve Jobs. This excerpt from a new book documenting the birth of the Segway HT is an interesting read.
Big news. Radio Shack just sent their new digital trunking scanner to the FCC for approval. Photos and the manual are now online.

Spin a CD fast enough (with a Dremel tool) and all sorts of fun things can happen. The CD can jump off the tool and climb up walls, or it can shatter spontaneously. Dorm-room footage of these events is now available.
What would you say if I told you you could get satellite TV in your house without having to pay a monthly subscription fee? You’d say “That’s great, but I don’t want to go to jail.” And I’d tell you not to worry, because there’s a way to do it LEGALLY! Granted, the channel selection…
