Pearl Jam's performance of their big 90's hit "Daughter" morphed into the melody from Pink Floyd's "The Wall," and Eddie Vedder served up a pair of anti-Bush lyrics to the tune. "George Bush, leave this world alone," he sang. "George Bush, find yourself another home." Fans at the

Microsoft missing the podcast boat

Even their new feedreader in IE7 doesnt support automatically downloading RSS enclosures, supposedly for security reasons. And now that podcasting is really taking off, it seems like Microsoft is missing the boat. tags: microsoft, zune, podcasting

Zoom Player

2006-07-18T23:42:00.000+02:00

A new version of my favourite media player ZoomPlayer Pro is out now :). Wel worth registering as it gives you full control over what codecs are used for decoing avi's, mp4's dvd's etc. Together with ffdshow and Nvidia decoder (for MPEG2, dvd's for example) a perfect combo !

PodShow Plus

2006-07-15T20:31:00.000+02:00

Posted are little review of the new Podshow Plus site at greendale.tk. I am not very fond of it, to put it mildly ;). Had to use it again today to find the new feed for the Gillmor gang, and they moved their feeds to podshow plus. It wasnt a pleasent experience searching for the rss feed :(. And then once I found it, it turned out my links in iTunes had finally updated ;).

w.bloggar

Already am using MarsEdit on my Mac Mini, but I thought I'd give this one a try. It can be found at http://wbloggar.com/.Looks very nice so far, quite a few editing options and compatible with a lot of blog software. Shame my Greendale.tk blog doesnt seem to work, I think it's a server side security thing, that prevents posting from other sites...

Although I dont use bit torrent for downloads, except for bt.etree.org, I thought this story about the taking down of The Pirate Bay site is interesting.

Air vents are for air

2006-04-27T23:37:00.000+02:00

Fun post on Lost at johnaugust.com :Air vents are for air: "On a recent episode of ‘Lost,’ a character climbed through air ducts to get past heavy blast doors, which had trapped him and another character. By narrative standards, this sequence would seem unremarkable. Except for one thing:‘Lost’ takes place on a freaking magical island. You’ve got polar bears, black smoke monsters, and a cabal
