Amazon’s MP3 Service is Great
I’ve long used iTunes to buy, organize, and listen to my music. But Amazon’s new MP3 Download Service
- Twice the bit rate as a regular iTunes download
- Unprotected MP3 files which you can do whatever you like with, rather than the limited-copy regular iTunes format
The catalog was broad enough that I could find some obscure tracks on Amazon that iTunes doesn’t offer, and most songs cost only 89 or 99 cents for the same quality and portability that costs $1.29 in the sparse iTunes plus format. Amazon’s free downloader even automatically plugs your new purchases into iTunes for you. Seems a winner thus far!

Here’s a great idea – make all of the parts of an old pinball machine visible so one can appreciate the mechanics and electronics involved. See details on the project at the Neptune Beach Amusement Museum, and more photos at Flickr.

The Cell Phone Salesman Who Sang Opera
I’m not into American Idol, but this clip from its British counterpart is pretty great. What marvels lurk within a doughy cell phone store employee? Listen and find out. Potts went on to win the competition and record an album for Simon Cowell.
Festival! Festival!
I went back in time this Labor Day weekend, enjoying the Kansas City Renaissance Festival.
