This is a quick review of the Ping service that iTunes launched
- iTunes has plenty of information about what I listen to and what I buy, and yet there are no recommendations from the start. Even their lame genius feature in the store attempts to do this.
- Finding people isn’t tied to twitter or facebook, but emails addresses. So, I’ll never try to find anyone.
- The artists you can follow are lame. I’m not interested in them, and I already don’t follow facebook pages because I find the updates to be inane usually. I am interested in these people because of the art they create, not their photos of them on tour. Unless you’re Tom Waits. I’ll follow him on any network.
- There is also no artist sign up so local/small bands won’t be on it. This will not aid in music discovery, or bringing smaller artists recognition. What a waste of an opportunity.
- It is completely tied to iTunes, and what if you listen to music they don’t sell? Then you have no way of sharing that with your friends.
*All of the above opinions are subject to change based on user adoption, and improvements to the service Apple makes, but it looks like I will continue to use last.fm and just asking my friends in person about music.
Why is apple so bad at paying attention to independent artists? They do a decent-ish job with indie developers…
Dolphin Ride by Banksy.
His pieces involving animals have always been my favorite, ever since I checked out his shop exhibit in New York City. This particular piece, involving a twist on the grocery store quarter ride, really gets to me. Sorry Eryn and thanks Wooster!
kevinnuut asked: I wasn't sure if that was you asking about the game or the person you reblogged. It's a scene from Mass Effect 2, if it was you asking.
about the game. fortunately several people have assured me that
Luckily, that is just a conversation tree and not options of action.
Getting this sticker for the Blazer ASAP.
And one more tiny fraction of a degree added to the average global temperature!
Douchebag.
I’m going to put one of these on my bike. Put some fucking brakes on your bikes, assholes, stop putting the rest of us in danger.

Hoarr says:
Mass Effect 2. The wheel showcases what your next line of conversation will cover, it’s not actually giving you the option to rape. Just an oddly timed screenshot.
