Mac OS X Sound Effect Song, Very Clever and Amusing
If you're a Mac person, this will make you chuckle. Someone took the OS X sound effects and created a song. It's not a run away pop hit...but it's enjoyable. Some people are very clever...and have too much time on their hands.

A Simple Solution To Today's Onerous, Lopsided Copyright, Trademark and Patent Law
I'm in a creative business, so I've always been concerned about protecting my creations with copyright, etc. But as a consumer and a citizen, the overreaching, exceedingly long copyright, trademark and patent restrictions seriously concern me.

SEO dashes versus underscores: sometimes you learn things you would rather not know
URL rewriting takes variable-based URLs (e.g., www.domain.com?id=3) and converts them to human text-based URLs (e.g., www.domain.com/hello-world.html). It helps SEO and it makes a page easier to reference. The debate: which to use, underscores or dashes?
