I scream, you scream, we all scream for meme
Just spreading the meme, man. Not like my little link will do much, but hey. Why not.
Playfair
Sick of the hassle of only being able to play your Protected-AAC files you purchased from the iTMS on YOUR 3 computers? Want to share those files with your friends?
Looks like you need Playfair, the FairPlay DRM stripper.The playfair program is quite simple. It takes one of the iTMS Protected AAC Audio Files, decodes it using a key obtained from your iPod or Microsoft Windows system and then writes the new, decoded version to disk as a regular AAC Audio File. It then optionally copies the metadata tags that describe the song, including the cover art, to the new file.

If so, I’m about to commit it.
Shameless Self Promotion
I finally fixed the Windows/IE problems that were plaguing it, so without further (or any, really) adieu, I give you the new Retinal.nu, portfolio of Kevin Conboy.
Where's the money going?
Normally a strong proponent of technology in the classroom, I’m beginning to wonder if it’s gone too far. At least below high school. Why?
My son’s teacher has a few compelling thoughts on the subject.
Letterforms
This is the coolest thing, ever.
Okay, not really. But it’s damn close. It’s amazing what a unique idea and a strong grasp of a technology can do to put forth something of such wonderful simplicity.
Now why are my Flash skills hovering somwhere around “Neanderthal?”
Note to self: Don't start a paragraph with the close tag
Despite what Microsoft wants you to believe, FrontPage still generates errors:
And no, that’s not a doctored image. Check out the official GIF. (I archived it because I figure MS will evenually figure it out and change it. Now it’s here for all of eternity.) Via kottke.
