Here’s another way for musicians to go digital: Jennifer Lopez has teamed up with luxury tech purveyors Gresso to release her latest album on a USB flash drive. It’s similar to what the French pop group Bubblies did last year,…

Internet research group Comscore caused a stir yesterday when they published the results of a study that showed that in the first 29 days of October, 38% of the people who downloaded In Rainbows didn’t pay a dime. It seems…

One of the reasons I love this time of year is because the blustery winds give me a great excuse not to use my cell phone when I’m out of the office. Now Motorola has gone and ruined a good…

Ask almost anyone, and they’ll tell you that cell phone etiquette — or lack thereof — is a problem. For that matter, telephone etiquette hasn’t been entirely sorted out yet, as encounters with sales clerks and receptionists constantly remind me….

Sometimes it’s not who’s first, but who’s most influential. Even though others have done it before, Radiohead’s pay-what-you-want scheme has captured people’s imaginations. I wasn’t too surprised when Saul Williams gave it a shot (with a little help from Trent…

Voting’s ongoing for the 2007 Weblogawards! If you’re running a blog or your friends are- now’s the time to vote. Everyone who’s a whos who on the web knows that this is the Pulitzer parallel for the web.

One of my websites had 30,000 pages three months ago. Only 200 were indexed so my local webguy recommended http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ to generate a sitemap that helps google find all pages of the site.

I tried the service- yeah its free- but theres a catch: the service does only 500 pages max. That left 29500 pages unaccounted for.

Thank god for webmaster forums because I eventually discovered GsiteCrawler. Unlike XML-Sitemaps which creates your maps online (and have to wait bfor days), Gsitecrawler is a download which you install. Fire it up, input your URL and in 3 hours, a 30,000 page site is fully sitemapped!

Last I checked, Google Webmaster tools reports 33,928 pages of my site indexed! Now that’s absolutely terrific!

Got loads of free time? If you do, you’ll want to visit Instructables. It’s one mega site bustling with how-tos from the pedestrian to the arcane.

Always wondered how to generate a raincloud in a bottle? It’s here! How to roll up a frying pan with your bare hands? Here too. How to beat up that gorrila bouncer with your thumb? Yep- instructions in full glory can be read here for free.

There’s never a dull moment when you’re perusing this site’s amazing archive.

Heck, as I type this, an Instructable science project is 95% done near the keyboard- a homemade death laser!
