Remember Clinton and Lewinsky? If you are nostalgic for the Clinton administration of the 90s, visit www.bluedresscigars.com. Need I say more?
In addition to Blue Dress Cigars, my friend Mike also has put together a pretty interesting research tool at www.researchbitch.com — definitely worth checking out.
I’m pretty enamored with SwapTree, a trading service. You can trade DVDs, music, books, and games. The service is free (ad supported); if you use them to print postage, they make a few pennies as well. I already sent out a DVD and will probably put several paperback books up there to see if I can get some more interesting reading. If you try it out, let me know.
A post on Slashdot notes that CD sales continue to decline coinciding with iTunes becoming the third largest music retailer. Could the end of the CD spell the end of music sharing? Most shared music comes from ripped CDs. While individuals can work to unwrap DRM protected music, that is clearly more compicated than ripping a CD, especially since ripping software is cheap and available. Could the end of the CD lead to more DRM?
As I purchased XTi, I was searching around for a comprehensive list of lenses and reviews. So far EFLens.COM is the only site that seems to provide it. I purchased the 28-135mm “short zoom” for starters. It should work well against the kit lens that comes with the XTi until I decide to purchase something more interesting.
