Good cover by The Boy Least Like To.

Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby I reconsider
My foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me
But I’ll wait for something more

Finally, an aggregator for torrents!

I’ve been reading about this idea last year in some tech magazine, that it would be inevitable that a feed reader would be possible for scheduling torrent downloads.

And now there is, thanks to Ted (the Torrent Episode Downloader).

And if you’re like me, you probably use an ISP that regulates how much their customers can download/upload torrents. But those regulations are typically on a schedule, and this Scheduler helps you get around that.

I’ve been watching the complete series of West Wing lately. I really enjoy how the series is informative while showcasing a liberal fighting with social conservative notions; drama.

This may be one of my favourite shows and I sense a connection with how things would really be if things were speed up by two years.

There’s this song I’ve been hearing on the radio from time to time in the last month, and every time I heard it, I kept thinking it sounded like Buck 65, but it was too moody for his style.

I found out I was half right.

It’s Buck 65 featured on that song, which is on Matt Mays’ new album (released last month). Like Buck 65, Mays is another talented Nova Scotian artist. Apparently this new album is based as a “movie soundtrack” that Mays says he was going to direct, shoot and star in. It’s not clear if the movie ran out of money, or (my opinion) that there was no movie in the first place and this is just a smart concept album.

Here’s that song:

Earlier this month, five San Francisco bus shelters were equipped with ads embedded with the scent of cookies to go with the “Got Milk” campaign being put on by the milk industry.

It’s called MagniScent®, which gives off the smell via scent-infused adhesives affixed to the inside of the bus shelters and undersides of the benches.

Louis Zafonte from Arcade Marketing – the company who setup the smelly ads – says it costs $30 per bus shelter for the smell to last a week.

“Scent is a primary driver of memory,” Zafonte said.
