Amazon MP3 Tip: Wish List
One thing that most online music stores seem to be missing is a wish list for music you are interested in but don’t intend on buying immediately (likely to encourage impulse buying). I just recently found that you can use the Amazon Universal Wish List bookmarklet, (that allows you to add products from any website to your Amazon Wish List) also works with the Amazon MP3 store.

Music suggestion: The Blank Tapes →
I know of The Blank Tapes through a friend who’s a brother of the band’s lead. It’s mostly a one man band but some of his friends join-in for a number of songs. The Blank Tapes are an indie alt/rock band that fans of The Shins, Death Cap For Cutie, and Vampire Weekend (the “indie rock” sound) might also enjoy. Checkout the band’s site

Any fellow artists reading this?
The reason I ask is because I’m interested in starting a new art critique community site, that will be the successor to my 7 year old forums Untitled Image that badly needs a reboot or to just be killed (likely the latter). The goal of this new site will be to have a manageable size community focused on getting quality critique and inspiration from fellow artists. The community may even be...

How not to take user feedback for your app
NetworkShadow: @nickheer Do you know when Bluebird's reversed Tweet list bug is getting fixed? Oh wait that's a "feature" forced on us by the developer. (bluebirdapp.com)
kerrent: @NetworkShadow Forced? Oh, please, for god sake, PLEASE don't feel forced and don't use Bluebird, I beg you :P
NetworkShadow: @kerrent @nickheer A "feature" that is so contrary to the Twitter service's standards should be user optional. Otherwise it's a good app.
kerrentnote: to self: remind me to selfishly keep for me the result of all these hours of hard work for FREE next time.
NetworkShadow: I fail to see the point of refusing perfectly valid feedback from your user base, or taking such feedback personally. #Bluebird
kerrent: @NetworkShadow you will be in our *userbase* when you will be an user, plus, I still need to hear your "valid" argument.
PRSop2000: @kerrent not allowing for user choice on tweet order is not considered a valid argument? #Bluebird
kerrent: @PRSop2000 do you have choice on twitter website? do u have choice in ANY twitter client? No. Not valid sorry.
PRSop2000: @kerrent I'm just saying, when I saw the RESPONSE to the swap in the app, it came across as infantile at best.
NetworkShadow: @kerrent You've made a wonderful Twitter app but it's also the only one with a backwards Tweet list. Why not allow both views?
kerrent: @NetworkShadow because it make no sense, except if the input box is on top?
kerrent: @NetworkShadow we are considering (not saying it will ever being done) putting the input box on top, but it means reversing the whole UI.
NetworkShadow: @kerrent It's not an AIM client. I get your angle, but it's not the established standard. It should be a user option to switch sorting view.
PRSop2000: @kerrent would be far easier IMO to put an option in the Prefs for Ascending or Descending tweet order...
kerrent: @NetworkShadow you know what? There is million of other twitter clients. You don't have to use our. End of story.
slugoo: @NetworkShadow - It's a shame those devs require "valid feedback" to be justified with a "valid arguement". That restricts free thought.

MacBook Pro Boot Camp Tip: Play games on external...
UPDATE: Windows 7 just works with external displays. No need for tweaks or hacks. — Last night I stayed up late tinkering with my late 2008 15” MacBook Pro’s Windows XP install again in hopes of getting my games to run on my 40” 1080p Samsung TV, for reasons that should be obvious. I managed to successfully accomplish what I had set out to do, and it’s...

New album Swoon by Silversun Pickups: $3.99 today... →
I learned about the Silversun Pickups a few months ago while browsing Amazon MP3, I think they were suggested to listeners of The Smashing Pumpkins because of their similar use of guitars. The lead vocalist adds a distinct sound to the style of music. I bought all their music available at the time, you could say I’m a fan. I just saw their new album is out today and at a nice discount...
