Another year, another soundtrack. And this year I actually chose a different Samiam song (I didn't realize that chose the exact same song for 2005 and 2006...I must really like it). Anyway, here's a summary of my musical tastes for 2007:

Well, at least two-thirds merry...

Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, an unapologetic Yankee fan, thinks the Mitchell Report is just a Red Sox conspiracy...

Jeremy learns our names. Almost...

I was playing around with Dashcode and made a version 0.1 Sinko Music Podcast Dashboard widget. If you have a Mac and want to try it out, you can download it here. (Requires Mac OS 10.4.3.)

Wow, this looks pretty cool: the Eye-Fi wireless memory card is a 2GB SD card that makes your digital camera wireless. After setting it up, "whenever your cameras near the wireless network you selected and idle, Eye-fi will upload all your photos to your online photo sharing service. Next time your computer's online, they'll download there, too!"

MLB Announces Acceptable 2007 World Series Matchups

I missed this Onion article when it ran back in May, but looks like MLB got its wish that "any underdog team from the National League is acceptable as long as they play against the Yankees or Red Sox."

Since they broke the Curse Of Relief Pitcher Curtis Leskanic, here are a few Sox-related headlines from America's finest news source:

• Red Sox Get World Series Out Of The Way
• Colorado Rockies: 'What The F*ck Just Happened?'

This is more of a note to self: Hex Color Picker is a useful tool that adds a web color picker to the Mac's built-in color pickers. The best feature is the magnifying glass which lets you choose any color on the screen to get the hex value (very useful to find the color on a web page).
