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.

2. An estimate of how much it costs to attend Hogwarts.
3. Gizmodo's list of essential Spotify tools. (I've only played with it briefly, but so far I don't see why it's so much better than Last.fm.)

1. Really interesting article about how hit songs are manufactured and how much it costs to do so (the amount spent on promoting the song (bribery) is by far the largest amount). Via.
2. Tron Legacy 8 bit Extended Version.
3. Tattoo with a QR code that becomes animated when viewed through a smartphone. It'll be more impressive when the tattoo is invisible unless viewed through a smartphone.

Thanks to the commenter and Joshua.
And since it fits with the muscular theme, here's The Rock on Splash Mountain:
*Previously: Scorpions concert posters.
Pale Man
Still from the video for Metronomy's "The Bay," directed by David Wilson. (The still's a little misleading, the video is mostly glamorous shots of Torquay, the English Riviera, and ladies in swimsuits.) Via.
(To this day, whenever I hear "Riviera," I think Beaumont-sur-Mer.)
