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.

Get your horns up. Via BoingBoing.
Tue, 26 Jul 2005PDAPortal.com is useful when web browsing on a teeny little cell phone. Link via Links.net.
Pictures and poems written on a Treo 600. Intriguing in its smallness.

The Official Site of Rock Music
This is The Official Site of Rock Music. Who knew? Not me. Somehow I don't think it's exactly "official".
Tue, 28 Jun 2005This guy makes furniture out of Fedex boxes. No, really. Via AttackOfThe Show, as is this. I haven't watched that show (or even that channel) since they killed The Screen Savers, but I stumbled onto it and Sarah's Show blog is okay.
Fri, 24 Jun 2005A band named Herbie that features a car on their web site. Look out for trigger-happy lawyers.
Fri, 29 Apr 2005Proof that not all people who go to clubs are idiots - but some of them are:
First time i've ever seen this:
Site with this message:
It is hereby decreed that any users of M$ operating systems or browsers are forbidden from viewing this site. Linux, Macintosh, QNX, AIX, BSD, BeOS, et. al. you are welcome. Please enjoy. For you M$ users, there are 5 9's of certainty that there is a linux port to your hardware platform. There are even live cds to let you demo the operating system. So give linux a try. You can download it for free. And see what you have been missing. Its only the REAL internet.
Wow.
Armed Forces Entertainment
Application to go abroad and entertainment the troops. Pictures of past tours are here.
Guitar Chord Finder
Chordfind.com - nicely done.
Heavy Metal Umlat: The Movie
Now THIS is an audioblog. The history of this page, as told by Jon Udell. Brought to my attention by Jim Nachlin.
Interesting photo
An interesting photo that I don't think I would want hanging on my wall. Still, it's not bad. It says it's an inkjet print, which seems odd to me, although I suppose it's a high-quality printer and would therefore last for awhile.
Cool Use Of Flash
This, I like. Quite clever. Found at HughGran.com; Hugh's a very talented artist who works in a variety of media.
Nifty Webpage that won't work in Firefox
This is neat, if a bit useless.
Museum of bad album covers
An invaluable resource for badness.
News Flash: I Am Impatient
VIDEOBLOG #16: Looking at things... is something I found on Lucas' blog. It starts with what looks like a bunch of flashing lights (I won't spoil it for you, except to say that it's not a bunch of flashing lights). Basically, I was watching it and thinking, "Um, this is okay, I guess, but what the hell is Lucas talking about? I don't even know what I'm looking at...OH. Now I see. Very cool." The whole video is maybe a minute long. I need to be more patient. Anyway, it's a nice little video, worth watching.
Foul language on AOL?
Yes, the title of this page is 'Fuck Me'. Isn't AOL the family ISP? Oh right, they're also the number one tool for IM Cybersex.
My First Home Page
The My First Home Page section of AOL Hometown has some... well, first home pages. I'm trying to be nice.
GWB Audio Still Out There, And So Is Lots of Other Stuff
The George W. Bush Public Domain Audio Archive, via OddioOverplay. Katya's site (more about her here) has a staggeringly large list of free and legal sources of music, including this list of net labels, sites with music, hosting services and more. Her site has far more links that I think I could ever fully explore, which is great. Her Webjay playlists are often quite wonderful.
WSMF.org has a great list of old-time radio (OTR) and also a blog of found sounds, at the moment mostly from BoingBoing.
Found these from this playlist of BoingBoing sounds.
BoingBoing has become the Google of blogs. It was mentioned in the NY Times twice this week (Blogs Provide Raw Details From Scene of the Disaster, Chomp if You Like Art, which is about Pac-Mondrian), and just generally seems to have become the place where people find cool stuff. Watch, it'll turn out to be a front for the RIAA or something (okay, it won't).
Deviant Art
DeviantArt.com looks like it might have some interesting art to look at. At least it looks (a) vaguely professional and (b) reasonably high-res.
Several interesting things to note about this site:
popping up all over, including Yahoo Video Search which is now in beta. I wonder if
Google is going to get into this space or not. So far as I can tell (and if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me) they've
actually avoided this, in my opinion for the potential legal problems this can bring. Yahoo's search actually puts the
site that has the content in a frame (here's an
example) which in my opinion just makes it harder to use, but in theory it means that they aren't linking directly
to the videos in question (although that may not make any difference).
legal uses for BitTorrent, like downloading Linux distros, but a search engine specifically for torrents is likely to be used
to look for unauthorized content. Suprnova.org, a popular torrent site, is now down
for good they say, so Blogdigger may get a lot of attention from former Suprnova users.
Labs project or something.
what pops up. They even href="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss#ltenclosuregtSubelementOfLtitemgt">make a specific point of saying
that feeds are available in RSS 2.0 (using this link to define RSS 2.0, saying All feeds support RSS 2.0
enclosures. If you'd like to see a type of media feed that isn't here, just email us!. Verrrry interesting. Mon, 20 Dec 2004
Toshio Shibata: Nice Photos From Japan
Photo from Japanese artist Toshio Shibata. Very nice.
JohnAugust.com - Screenwriter's Blog
Screenwriter John August's website. Lots of good info about screenwriting, including downloadable screenplays.
East Side Madam's Site Resurrected
The regular site is down, but here's a link to it via the Internet Archive. In case you were wondering just what Upper East Side hookers - who apparently were getting $500-$2500 a pop - looked like.
Free Audio Clip Art
The phrase is a bit odd.
Ghostface Killah Vs Spam
HipHopMusic.com also has this, which is truly brilliant. I offer this link because I don't want to start any blog beef.
Lotsa Music Videos here
Lots of videos here, all links, but good to have once Webjay comes back online.
A Link To Free Culture
The Book. In many, many forms.
Free Software
Lots of good programs here, including a GZip port for Windows (with a GUI), and sonme graphics and programming tools.
Kleptones' Web Pages
These guys have a simple and cool website. They do something that's visually appealing and also very simple - a background image that changes with each refresh. But its not a stoopid background image, and each one is the same color and a similar style. It's well done.
THE CIRCULAR FILE AT THE METROPOLITAN DIARY.
Hilarious.
Battery Sea Power Station
I think this is a power plant. The site is VERY hard to read, uses a lot of Flash, and is generally designed less to be read than to be... I don't know, critiqued in a web design class.
Courtroom Video
Time-delay feed of trials, currently the Disney trial.
The design of this page, I like.
The song is okay too, although the riff sounds like Cat Scratch Fever.
