The Hopp Stop

Vanessa should like this: Mac app that lets you make photos look like they've been taken on a Polaroid.

Excellent!

Cool, hopefully the interface won't be too obnoxious. The WiFi network selection for rarely accessed networks is pretty obnoxious–with 3G on the new phone, I turned off the "browse for new WiFi networks" option and just stick with 3G except for home, work and regular coffee shop networks. On that note, I think the iPhone WiFi settings menu should offer a way for you to authenticate, rather than having to go to a poorly formatted web page.

Thanks to Borders for the heads up. Billy Beane, Newt Gingrich and John Kerry join up to opine that the U.S. health care system needs quantitative analysis to accurately value medical procedures and improve decision making.

Cool, an article on beer brewing and bottling in Brooklyn.

Hmm, looks pretty cool. I'm satisfied with the interface on my 135i and am glad I didn't wait to get the car for this, but bummer they didn't roll this out sooner.

Video of two sweet, sweet goals from Marian Hossa (one an assist).

Sweet, I'm going to jailbreak my iPhone 3G and check it out.

Ugh, I'm no longer excited about my 20 free tracks. The only band I've heard of is the 88, who I like. Maybe the rest are good, but so far I've played Rock Band & Guitar Hero to play the songs I like already, not to discover new music. Not much fun to play guitar to a song you've never heard before.

Two conservative judges, Wilkinson and Posner (pretty famous), are comparing the reasoning and lack of constitutional support in the recent Heller opinion to Roe v. Wade.

I've just started playing around with this web music store/service. Big feature is the ability to have it monitor your iTunes collection and then make available for web playback any songs of yours that are in its catalog. I do remember MP3.com offering this feature back in the day (CD Locker or something like that) and then being sued out of existence over it, but the article talks about licensing arrangements to make it lawsuit-proof.
