1. I mentioned before that I actually preferred Last.fm to Spotify because it does a decent job streaming songs you might like, while Spotify is just a big library. Well, here's Lifehacker's recommendations for how to get a similar service at Spotify.
2. I'm not sure if I've posted about this before, but Boise State's college football team has enjoyed an unfair advantage for years - - they wear blue uniforms and play on a blue field, which makes it very difficult for opposing coaches to study their formations (the players blend into the background). Well, they can't wear the uniforms on that field anymore.
3. Japan is drilling for "burning ice," hoping it will replace nuclear power.
4. Free ios games (at least as of this moment): Allied Star Police by Popcap, To-Fu: The Trials of Chi. Via.

3. I realize they have a new coach and that Ohio State's implosion has helped, but still, in light of Michigan's recent failures, it seems notable that they have the top-ranked recruiting class.

1. Reggie Bush has apparently decided not to turn over his Heisman trophy after all. (Good, let them explain some more why he shouldn't keep his trophy, but Cam Newton can.)
2. A primer on the NBA contract negotiations (it's pretty optimistic that a deal will get done).

3. Scott Beale is determined to suck up more of my free time with a photography tumblr.
4. Very accurate description of introverts (or me, at least).
5. Sword & Sworcery is $1 for the iPod today. Peggle's free for Android at Amazon, but my wife's Droid (still under its initial contract!) is apparently too antiquated to download and run it.

2. One absolutely stunning claim about John Thompson after another. I can't imagine how this guy has a job if this stuff is true.
3. I sure hope this Ask Me Anything Request at Reddit gets fulfilled: "An Olive Garden employee who has been sent to Tuscany by the company to learn the art of Italian cooking."
