So, I’m trying to transition over to itunes (version 9) after being a hardcore winamp user since the late 90s. Winamp’s keyboard shortcuts are the cat’s pajamas though, and I’m missing them tremendously. Specifically, the shortcut to jump to a song. Hit "J" and just start typing in a title or band and it dynamically [...]

I’m not terrified about the unknown long-term impacts or affects, or even the reconciliation package that is outstanding. What I’m most scared about is that NOT A SINGLE REPUBLICAN voted for it. There [...]

The Pittsburgh Penguins’ slogan this season is "defy ordinary". Might not be all that great of a sports team promotion, but this little video they put together is a pretty good ad for Pittsburgh life in general.
