This just sounds way too cool.

So, before I could really do anything interesting with my iPod I had to record music onto my Powerbook.

Since I was grading papers yesterday I just popped disks into the drive as I worked until I had recorded

about 25 hours of CD music with iTunes. I connected the iPod to my Powerbook via the firewire cable and a

few minutes later I had 25 hours of music on the deck-of-cards size iPod. The iPod’s drive was only about

1/3 full.

Is it just me, or this ridiculous? We have a Bill of Rights that guarantees us free speech in this country, but now we have Microsoft trying to control how we use their products?

Listen up Mr. President… I think you dropped the lawsuit way too quickly. It’s this kind of crap that you get when you have de facto monopolies in control of information flow.

B-movies no longer, the fantasy genre hits its high water mark with spectacular ‘Rings’ adaptation

Zealously dedicated director Peter Jackson (“Heavenly Creatures,” “The Frighteners”) has brought the monumental ambience, the distinctive characters and the indelible spirit of “Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring” to life so tangibly that it took my breath away…
For once, here’s a gigantic-budget movie that wears its outsized grandiosity well and lives up to its hype and ambition. More importantly, the characters are perfectly cast (can you think of any actresses more elfin than Blanchett and Tyler?) and properly, reverentially steeped in Tolkien’s elaborate mythology.
