Hey gang. Since my last post was all about recommendations made by computers, I thought I'd balance that out with some recommendations made by humans - namely, me. The following recommendations are my attempt to better your lives.
Now that it's not so cold that every moment spent outdoors is spent swearing, I've started taking walks and listening to podcasts. This American Life, The Savage Lovecast and Meet the Press are all about an hour long and updated weekly. A single episode episode of any of these shows makes for a perfect companion to your daily constitutional.
Forget the iTunes Store. From here forward, there's no reason not to buy your digital music from Amazon instead. It's cheaper, it has no DRM, and it comes in .mp3 format (as opposed to the .m4p files Apple sells, which can only be played with iPods/iTunes).
If you've always found online blog authoring tools to be too clunky, give Windows Live Writer a shot. It's an offline tool that's helped me to rediscover the joy of blogging. Adding links, pictures, tags, video, etc. has never been easier. You can save drafts of your blogs, preview them before you post, and when they're ready to go you can publish directly to most blogging services with a single click.
Watch Helvetica. It's a documentary about a font. And I love it.
Listen to the new song I posted to the Tiger Stance MySpace page a week ago, Trees in Retrograde. Here it is:
Read Lucy's blog. Seriously! It's so good! She updates regularly, she gets plenty of comments from her fans, and most of the posts include a new comic. Also, I'm in there sometimes.
Finally, I'm participating in Walk Now for Autism this May, so if you'd like to do a little bit of good in the world then I recommend that you make a donation on my page.
New puppet blog to come soon, featuring puppet me!
