2007 Jeep Compass Media Intro

The Jeep Compass looks like a Porche that was force fed on the wrong foods.

Wireless Audio

The specs of this are quite decent though it has a funny name. The Oono Transmita is a receive - transmit pair that lets you send the audio from any analog output source such as your PC or MP3 player across the room to an amp.

How Do You Organize Your Music Collection For Scalability?

I see this guys problem and can relate to it. Now that I actually have a sizeable CD collection, very often CDs lie silent for long periods and are rediscovered many months later.
Thats fun too.

Bye Bye freedb

freedb.org seems on the verge of shutting shop.
See the post for 1 July 06
The future of freedb

Posted by kaiser on Saturday, July 01 @ 20:18:47 UTC (0 reads)

About freedb.org freedb is not able to operate without Joerg and Ari. There are other - hopefully free - projects that will take over freedbs heritage in a better way and stay free. freedbs future did not seem to be kept free regarding the lastest developments, so I tried to steer against this as I felt it more important to stay free instead of getting fancy web 2.0 features. But unfortunately Joerg and Ari (the main doers behind freedb) disagreed with me and decided that they want to go another direction. I will refuse to comment their postings in plublic and I will thank both Ari anf Jörg for their work and their support.

Now being sick of how things turned out lately and I am not being able to run the project with the people in freedb left, I will stop this project in the forseeable future.

If somebody is interested in a pretty well-known domain, drop me a line: lurchentsafter at gmail.com

Sorry for this.

Color Changing Paint

A couple of weeks back I read about a wall paint in Australia that changed color depending on the temprature. A more extreme form of this is available from Alsa Corp. They have a product Eclipse that would be loads of fun to use. Would be fun to put this on benches, door knobs and almost any public surface that people come in contact with.
