soundtracks for geeks2003.01.05

Meg has worthwhile things to say, as usual: “[T]his herky-jerky dial-up dance has been awkward. It's also been infuriating. My tolerance for giant banner ads slowly loading on news sites has diminished to zero. Spam has gone from an annoyance to a very expensive annoyance. And my love of a using a Web interface for most of my online interactions has diminished in relation to the increased cost of my connectivity. Alternate ways of interacting with certain data (weblogs, my bank accounts, etc.) that had been novel or fun at home over DSL have become economic imperatives from France. ”

Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity In Words of Four Letters or Less. Exactly what I needed.

All I want to know is who thought up the name Very Large Telescope, how much they got paid, and where I can sign up for this gig.

If you love Star Trek (and if you don't, what's wrong with you?) and music you may love the site I ran across recently: Star Trek Soundtracks. A great example of a well-done affiliate site, with MP3 samples of a lot of the songs on the soundtracks so you can get a listen in without having to download Real, which I am beginning to really hate. My personal favourite soundtrack is the one from First Contact. Rocks. The Ultimate Trek looks good too.
