Rockonomics
More so that I try to remember to read it.
Rockonomics paper (BEWARE - .pdf download)
Abstract
This paper considers economic issues and trends in the rock and roll industry, broadly defined. The analysis focuses on concert revenues, the main source of performers’ income. Issues considered include: price measurement; concert price acceleration in the 1990s; the increased concentration of revenue among performers; reasons for the secondary ticket market; methods for ranking performers; copyright protection; and technological change.

Windsurfing Toilet Cleaner
Just found this awesome windsurfing toilet cleaner. This little guy is called Freshsurfer. Not only will he clean your toilet, but it looks like he has a lot of fun whilst doing it.
How *not* to blog
Sony's attempt to tap into the MySpace/YouTube market by creating a PSP blog in the guise of two fictional characters backfires terribly.

Using a Wii remote on a MacBook running Windows
Half-Life2 with a Wii-mote on Youtube
Hackers have already made drivers for the Wii-mote on MacOSX, Windows and Linux.
Replacing your mouse with a Wii-mote might be a fun project while you wait to get your hands on the console.

"The YouTube of data" ... but the presentation is not quite intuitive to me for some reason. I'd really like to see tables of raw data and then pull that into different templates.
Hopefully it doesn't become overloaded with graphs such as "Beers I drank this week vs. How many curries I've eaten"

How to hide files in JPG's
Fascinating tutorial on a technique to emdeb files in jpgs. Look at '[ebook] raymond chandler - the big sleep.jpg' in K:\Design A-J\Digital. This is a jpg of the cover of the book, but embedded is the e-book. Cool idea to hide ‘easter eggs’ in images.
Also very much like the style of the tutorial, maybe we could use this to show how to use delicious?
