So, the US iTunes Music Store has nothing by The Housemartins, why not try the UK store? Bang, more Housemartins than one would ever want, wonderful. I was ready to pay the slightly inflated £0.79 (USD 1.49) for the song, but wait, I don’t have a UK music store account and I can’t create one without a UK billing address. What a crock! One would think that Apple and the record companies would be more than willing to sell music to whomever is willing to pony up the bucks (or quid), but apparently that is not the case.

Go to bloglines (don’t think you need to have an account). Find your own blog on bloglines (if it’s not there you can sign up and add it I guess, if you don’t have a blog this one’s not for you). Click related feeds (each time you click they may change slightly). Post the top 5 (or more) on your blog.
Here’s the top 10 for this site:
- Dave Shea’s mezzoblue
- Wired News
- Aaron Swartz: The Weblog
- Eschaton
- Lessig Blog
- Jeffrey Zeldman Presents: The Daily Report
- Gizmodo
- Dilbert
- Flashpoint
- Scott McMullan: ehick
Unlike Simon, I am not subscribed to any of these feeds. I’ll have to check them out.

Who’s keeping an eye out to make sure that no one comes along and sets fire to important subway equipment? Well, when they’re not watching Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, the transit police are doing a bang up job. Could pictures like the one posted on Gawker be the real reason behind the MTA Photo Ban?

Last week, a Louisiana man held up a doughnut shop with a laser pointer. The assailant made off with the cash from the safe and is still at large. While a hand gun, knife or baseball bat might be more threatening than a laser pointer, one should not discount the effectiveness of presentation tools as deadly weapons. For instance, a robber could bore a victim to death with a Power Point presentation.

January 22 & 23 gave us our first substantial snowfall of 2005. I ventured out with the camera on Sunday to take a few pictures. Some are slightly more interesting than others, for some reason, I was more interested in architectural details today than wide angle shots of snow, although there are a couple of the obligatory “big snow” shots in there.
Here are some snow photos from other NYC photographers (in no particular order):

Alex Steffen’s quote caught my attention:
The other day I was talking with a friend about the ecological problems caused by the car, and the phrase popped out of my mouth, “The solution to the problem of the auto won’t be found under its hood.”
Well put Alex. His post links to several good articles about smart growth and city planning. It is well worth the read.

Anyone who listens to The Daily Source Code, or reads Adam Curry’s blog knows of his recent difficulties in trying to get broadband at his new home. Adam, nearing the end of his rope, promised to start recording his conversations with British Telecom and Easynet. Of course he makes good on his promise and broadcasts a conversation with Easynet in today’s Source Code. Could this be the start of a new customer service node in the iPodder directory?

Airbus unveiled the world’s largest passenger plane today, the A380.
The twin-deck aircraft can carry about 555 people - more than the Boeing 747 jumbo built by Airbus’ main competitor.
Airbus has orders for 149 A380 aircraft, sounds like it’s going to be a big seller.
