Earth III
A song performed by the Super Furrys that required the audience to wiggle their hands above their heads. For acoustic reasons, natch.
Super Furry Animals
God, I love this band. Stonking concert last night, which bounced all over their albums.
A handy example of how cellphone cameras have improved over the last four years.

Photojojo's Photo Time Capsule
Get an occasional email containing photos you uploaded to your Flickr account a year earlier. Micronostalgia. Lovely!
CoverSutra
Got this as part of MacHeist recently, and dismissed it as “pointless eyecandy”. I couldn’t be more wrong — While it is graphically-lovely, it allows for keyboard control of iTunes (including tasks like rating tracks) and is a lower-memory last.fm client than the official last.fm client. Added to my Login Items!
YouTube - VIVA OBAMA 2008
Well, if a mariachi band won’t bring out the “hispanic vote” in Texas, I don’t know what will…

My new business cards
Got these printed by PSPrint. The typeface is the smart-yet-sketchy Sketch Rockwell.
(If I'd had more cash to spend on them, I'd have liked to have gotten them cut with rounded corners, but that's for another day -- once I've handed out all 500 of these puppies!)
Of course, now I need to regrow my beard so I look like my avatar again...
Obama of Dreams
Obama t-shirts in a baseball-logo stylee. (Notably lacking in any donation to the campaign, though)

taint.org: Vote for Dustin on Saturday
Amazing! Ireland’s potential Eurovision entry treats Eurovision with precisely the seriousness it deserves. Best entry since “Guildo Horn and the Orthopedic Stockings”?

Venture Capital Wear
T-shirts for VCs. “Not Even Powerpoint Can Save You Now”

Newegg.com - Western Digital 250GB Notebook Hard Drive
Reportedly, the perfect thing to supersize the diskspace of your MacBookPro. Wicked tempted to get one, cause iTunes is bastard-slow when your 116Gb MP3 collection is on a network drive.
CD Purchase: Sia - Some People Have Real Problems
Her cover of "I Go To Sleep" (the best Ray Davies song the Kinks never recorded) is sublime.
