FYI – moving forward I will be responding to most comments within the comments section itself instead of via e-mail. Therefore I have added an option to subscribe to comments so you know when I’ve replied. I figured perhaps this would encourage more discussion on the site. I’m by no means a comment whore but things are super quiet lately and I’m thinking perhaps new visitors are turned off and assume I ignore comments since they don’t see a response. In any case, we’ll see how it goes.

I admit, I’m not one who necessarily explores the full gamut of what software can do. I’ve been using the free version of Winamp for years and automatically upgrade whenever a new version comes out, so I’m not sure how long this nifty feature has been available, but today while preparing a DVD for Brother #2 of The Cure’s full body of work, I stumbled upon something called auto-tag. It’s really cool because it’s such a pain trying to edit the file info for each song individually and manually.
With auto-tag you load as many MP3s into the Playlist as you want and right-click and choose “send to auto-tag” and the program compares each file to a database and returns results. If they are accurate you can choose for the information to be updated accordingly. I love it! Most of The Cure’s albums were in the database, but I did manage to confuse it on a few things; mostly bootlegs.
Now I’ll be spending the next week updating all my MP3s. Damn, I have way too many! I know my brother will appreciate it when he loads the songs onto his iPod, though.
Come visit my photo
Huh. I’m not sure whether I should be flattered or annoyed that no one asked for my permission to post a photo of mine on this website. I guess they feel since they gave my Flickr username credit it was ok?
I think I’m more perturbed by the alt text on the photo that says, “If you have taken a better photo of Itasca. Please email us a copy and if we like it, we might use it.” More like “If we find a better photo of Itasca we’ll just take it”. Also that’s one sentence there, not two, brainiacs.

The 25 Most Baffling Toys From Around the World – Wow, those Japanese are obsessed with poop!
Sock Zombies – One of the weirdest, yet strangely cute, things I’ve seen in a long time. People’s creativity astounds me.
The Pioneer Woman Cooks – Lots of yummy recipes on this site that I must try soon. I love how detailed the instructions are and the accompanying photos at each step are phenomenal. It’s a food-lover’s dream.
FALPVF #2
Ok, so sue me, I’m a day late. [Don’t know what I’m talking about? See this post].
Hamleto The Hamster is a little comic strip I came across this week. Very cute if you’re a hamster owner. Otherwise, possibly boring.
Flip & Tumble Bags are reusable bags that roll up into the size of a peach when not in use allowing you to keep one on hand all the time. I could see the usefulness when shopping or traveling. Plus I’m a bag whore and these are inexpensive.
A rare SNL gem: People Getting Punched Just Before Eating (which is airing again tonight). Love the music!
