Turn Me Up is a group devoted to a noble cause: bringing dynamic range back into music. The age of the CD was supposed to make music clearer and bring out details we couldn’t hear before. Alas, the idiots behind the bulk of the music these days (RIAA, I’m looking at you) are [...]
Google does some great stuff. I use them for searches, obviously. They’ve got a great RSS reader that I love to death, and gmail’s a wonderful throwaway mail account. I don’t have anything sensitive sent there — mainly because I simply don’t trust them.

Okay, so why am I saying Visa is evil? At the moment, at least, for their [...]
Once upon a time, I was pretty immune to any bank phishing attacks. I’d get mail that looked to be very legitimate, purporting to be from Bank of America or USBank, and I’d think if I were more gullible, I might fall for that.
