My previously loved flat is now available for rent (that is subletting until July 1st) – and there might be a wonderful surprise if “lazy” is an essential part of your spare time personality.

Dr. Michael Bull – (the world’s leading — perhaps only — expert on the social impact of personal stereo devices, according to The New York Times.”
That’s not how I use my iPod. At all. Maybe because I basically don’t commute, living 237 seconds away from the office (favourite bar: 328, beach: 2,522, sunshine: 17,161, healthy food restaurant: Who wants to know?, Free tequila shots: 46,276).
I rotate playlists. Three times in a month I create a new playlist containing five or six albums jumps into heavy ear rotation. And no album, no song gets to stay inside the shiny, shiny – shiny case of plastic. But that’s mainly because I have an old iPod.
But then again. Doing laundry, now un-wified (SSID “rask-n-ready”, sure you don’t want to cut a deal sometime?), retro-swinger Andrew Bird’s 2001 album Swimming Hour helps me load those engines with appropriate textiles.
How do you iPod?

Doing so fucks the rebuild process (247 exclamation marks excluded here). This and other – including “We are morons” – comments from the recently leaked Windows 2000 source code in this Kuro5hin article.

Are style guides wonderful, persisting, standardizing little bastards that inevitably will increase production time and cross deadlines and settle fussy discussions?
The BBC now has an addition and the whateversphere loves it. Or the fact that it’s there.
It brings with it responsibilities. BBC News is expected to set the highest standards in accuracy, fairness, impartiality – and in the use of language. Clear story-telling and language is at the heart of good journalism.This styleguide will help make your journalism stronger and connect better with our audiences. As my first news editor on a small weekly paper used to say:“Keep it plain and keep it simple.†It still holds true

I know you too well. In 0.11 seconds I’ll be морtзн юcт, special agent. When I feel like it, I’ll tell myself the dirty details. There is no point. There is a point. And it’s unfair, I agree, but can you stand up to the pressure of easy access? Let’s be BFF and not tell you. Just say(s) no to voluntary recording.

The little, shy MP3 player (iPod) died fighting the perfect predator (my jacket). Two hundred hours and eight horrific experiments later, it’s back. 
A group of scientists has pushed the reset combination menu+play for more than two seconds – hoping to breed the ultimate iPod. But the resurrected player must team up with a desktop application, including a restore, format and firmware updater named iPod Software Update, who holds more than a few surprises of its own.
Alive with spectacular special effects (swearwords), I, the iPod, iTunes and the iPod Software Update, iPod Resurrection is a riveting, pulse-pounding roller coaster ride that’s “reborn to be wild” (Entertainment Weekly). Come aboard… if you dare, and witness a whole new breed of terror.
