Que es?
The Weblog of Brett Singer. Bringing the world what it needs most - a blog.

Note: Sorry about all of the 'hot deals' entries (someone referred to this blog as CorporateShill.com).
The deals and things are being fed into Multineedia.com. We will soon move the deals category over to Multineedia so you don't have to read it, and we apologize for any inconvenience.

    Clubbin'

    Proof that not all people who go to clubs are idiots - but some of them are:

  • Guido poetry, from the greatest website in the history of the world.
  • A bouncer's blog. He doesn't like Guidos.

    AOL Media Player is Winamp

    This seemed odd. In looking for the actual URL of a clip on AOL-owned Moviefone.com, I saw some odd-looking HTML:

  • Started on this page.
  • Clicked on the "AOL Media Player" button under 'Hitchhiker's Guide' Q&A (a Javascript link called 'javascript:DalaiLlama.OpenFullPMMSID("mp.aol.com", "1335208")'.
  • Up pops the Media player (here).
  • The player is actually in a frame, which is here.
  • If you view the source of that page, there's a bunch of javascript, with several references to Winamp. One of them, IwinampxGecko, has no matches on Google as of this posting (4/29/05). Maybe this will be the first.

    Anyway, I guess this explains why the hell AOL bought Winamp in the first place. I actually thought they were using Windows Media Player for their streaming, but I guess not. Also of note: there is also an option to play the clip in Quicktime, but no Real or WMP. AOL is weird.
