Cowabunga dudes!
I made a little update to the "google powered mp3 search bookmarklet" i did a while ago.
the new bookmarklet now uses google not only to search for mp3, but also for wma and ogg files. it's not yet properly tested, but i don't see why it shouldn't as it is supposed to. Right now, there is only the firefox/mozla version, but the new IE version will follow shortly.
i did a short test but it seems there aren't many ogg or wma files availible in open directories.
Cul de Sac is a Boston-based group of critically acclaimed practitioners of unusual instrumental music who draw inspiration from the incantatory rhythms of Indian ragas, the complexities of avant-garde folk finger-picking, the cerebral excesses of '70s prog, the bouncy reverb of surf rock, and the energy of experimental music. Their exercises are far from academic, however; unlike a hell of a lot of rock-based instrumental music, Cul de Sac is fun and interesting to listen to, as the talented quartet is able to put a different twist on the now-distinctive Cul de Sac sound with each and every new composition (and indeed, often with new renditions of the same composition).

If you allready know about podcastig, then this article won't offer anything new, if you never heared of podcasting before, this article won't give you an big insight.
But, what makes this article interesting (at leat to me) is the fact, that some like a former adviser of Bill Clinton is talking about something like podcasting!
Very interesting article about Wikis. It's a good summery of the history of wikis and is also showing the future, namely becoming more "mainstream" by being the new weblogs and also becoming of interest for companis, which are selling wiki based products.
excerpts from the article:
The biggest and most widely known wiki right now is Wikipedia, a public collaborative encyclopedia with more than 1.2 million articles in 160 languages. Its 400,000 English-language articles make it handily more than three times as big as its next largest competitor, Encyclopaedia Britannica. And who's the author? Could be anyone. Currently the site has about 10,000 regular contributors, and within, say, 30 seconds, you could be one, too.
Will Wikis ever hit the mainstream of Web usage? Blogs, once considered for "geeks only," are now being created by corporations, major media outlets and universities. In many ways, these collaborative sites offer a better way to share knowledge than the Internet has yet had. Wikis go a step further in democratizing the Web, making it possible for all of the fragments that individuals would normally contribute through personal Web pages and blog entries to combine as continuous living documents rather than stagnating as dead ends.
[...] So what happens when anti-virus companies share viruses for analysis? Unless they have permission from the virus creator, they're technically infringing on the virus writer's copyright. When they dissect part of the virus code to store its "signature" in an anti-virus program's scanning database, does that constitute a "derivative" work, thus protected by copyright law? [...] More

"The Voice of Vince" is a new section in my weblog. On a irregular basis I put old time radio shows with Vincent Price up for download. As his fans know Vincent Price was not only an actor on screen and stage, but often appeared on radio as well.

"While Krøyt on stage is a fully integrated, audio-visual phenomenon, Krøyt on CD is an electronic/acoustic power pack, an improvised, avant-rock jungle of sound." (Dagbladet, Terje Mosnes)
"Wer mit KRØYT in unendliche Weiten vorstossen möchte, sollte die wunderbare CD "Low" mit dem Kopfhörer geniessen...laut" (Kölnische Rundschau)
"Krøyt have probably made the most challenging album of the year, and my estimation is that Low will stand out as one of the most intriguing releases of the year - regardless of genre! What ever the case, Krøyt is the most exciting album I've come across in ages!" (Paul A. Nordal, www.panorama.no)
In the second half of the 1970s, Throbbing Gristle waged war on British society. With songs about the Moors murders and the Manson killings, and riotous concerts that garnered front-page headlines and sparked debates in the House of Commons, the band did, as guitarist Cosey Fanni Tutti puts it, "disrupt things a little". The MP Nicholas Fairbairn called them wreckers of civilisation - shortly before he was arrested for indecent exposure. But even wreckers of civilisation, like prostitutes and politicians, get respectable with time. The four members of Throbbing Gristle are together again to prepare for a festival that is being organised in their honour. More
