Why Every Music Lover Needs a Last.fm Account →
Since I became a Last.fm member in May 20061 I have successfully scrobbled over 40,000 tracks.

Death to Optical Media →
I recently purchased a OptiBay Hard Drive kit for my MacBook Pro, which allowed me to remove the optical DVD/CD drive from my computer and put a 2.5” drive in its place. I recommend SSD for silent and speedy operation.
