Check out the latest trailer for My Sims!
Despite the sort of relentless touring that would earn most upstart bands their credibility stripes, Juliette Lewis still garners skepticism due to her "actress-turned-rocker" status. That criticism rings fairly hollow, though. Four on the Floor, like its predecessor (her debut), points to Lewis being the genuine article. While she's clearly not going to be reinventing the wheel, Lewis and her band pump out smartly simple retro-garage rockers that aim for the groin, lodge in the head, and sound great with a beer.
Lewis is aided by non-Lick Dave Grohl, who bashes away on the drumset with reliable glee. An especially accessible early stretch on the album—featuring "Sticky Honey" and "Purgatory Blues," among others—gets waylaid by the ragged "Death of a Whore," one of several speed bumps that strain for a rawness the band and the vocals can't quite muster. On record, the Licks also suffer from the lack of Lewis' considerable panache as a performer, which

Or, in Headline-Speak: Les Savy Fav Announce Video Contest, Tour
It seems Les Savy Fav have been surrendering the reigns to the ol' workhorse of late. First, they asked their fans to sing on their record, and now, they're actually paying people to stand in for them in a video. I guess you can't spell Les Savy Fav without "lazy," eh? Er, wait. Les Savy Fav are giving weekend Gondrys essentially carte blanche in a contest to create the clip for "The Equestrian" from their forthcoming album Let's Stay Friends. Entries must be a performance of the song, with lip-synching and at least some attempt to mimic playing instruments. Save that arty, impressionistic mess for your Decemberists thesis, Sally Gradschool; Les Savy Fav want you to rock! Or, at least, pretend.
The winner-- based on the most views on YouTube, where videos are to be uploaded-- will receive full bragging rights, plus $1000 and a bitchin' trophy. Videos are due by September 18, so you oughta get crackin'. Full details are available here.
MySpeed is a Java applet that measures connection
speeds and quality by timing actual data transfers
between your server and end-users. Connection
tests are performed via HTTP or socket-to-socket
modes. The consistency of data transfer speeds is
reported, a key measure of connection quality.
Detailed graphs of all data transferred during a
speed test are produced. VoIP editions test jitter
and packet loss, reporting VoIP quality and load
capacity. A server-side database logs all speed
test results. The NOC and Support editions provide
remote agent technologies to identify remote
connectivity problems.
License: Other/Proprietary License with Free Trial Changes: This update adds a choice of codecs for the VoIP simulation test, an option to extend the connection test for high speed networks, and various minor fixes.
Fonality offers a new open-source hosted IP PBX and IP-based calling service.
Corporate social networking is more than an electronic water cooler. Companies may start with the idea of helping employees get to know one another better, but with easier and faster connections among people, cross-division collaboration suddenly happens more naturally, leading to greater innovation.
Yesterday, Philadelphia Daily News columnist Stu Bykofsky wrote an absolutely atrocious column that suggested the country needed another terrorist attack like 9/11 to better unite those of us who survived it. But is Bykofsky missing the point? Of course he is. There's a greater threat that those of us who live here in New York are faced with. It's a threat that we've become apathetic and complacent about. Now we must say: "No More. Here We Stand." TWO DAYS from The Event, I'm thinking another 8/8 would help New York. What kind of a sick bastard would write such a thing? A bastard so sick of how splintered we are politically - thanks mainly to our ineptitude at commuting - that we have forgotten who the enemy is. It is not Bloomberg and it is not the MTA and it is not Con Ed or Eliot Spitzer or Giuliani or Sam Champion. It is rain. Rain has fractured New York into jigsaw pieces of competing interests that encourage precipitation. We are deeply divided and division is weakness. Most New Yorkers today believe 8/8 was a mistake. Why? Not because New Yorkers are "pro-weather." New Yorkers have turned their backs because the whole thing happened, like, two days ago. We've been got other stuff going on. In contrast, Britain is still talking about rainy weekends that happened 40 years ago. That's not the New York way. Because 8/8 was a couple of days ago, New Yorkers are attacking one another, when they aren't attacking themselves. The dialog of discord echoes across the city Turn back to 8/8. Remember the community of outrage and civic resolve? How we bitched and moaned as we huddled together on sweltering subway platforms? How many of us decided, "Fuck it, I'm not going into work today"? We knew who the enemy was then. New York's fabric is pulling apart like a $5 pashmina. What would sew us back together? Another 8/8 event. The Brooklyn Bridge. Grand Central Terminal. Yankee Stadium. The subway system. New York is a target-rich environment for the rain. Is there any doubt it is planning to hit us again? If it is to be, then let it be. It will take another couple inches of water on the ground to quell the chattering of chipmunks and to restore New York's righteous rage and singular purpose to prevail. The unity brought by such an attack sadly won't last forever. We'll have to wait for snow. That really pisses people off.
In the middle of a ferocious firefight outside of Baghdad, US soldiers discover a mysterious body—one that they can’t even identify as human. Swiftly, all over the earth, more such creatures appear and begin to communicate. With this contact, the world is forced to choose between peace and destruction.
The front office computing market continues to impress me despite the fact that I have been covering it for so long. Early solutions evolved into suites that covered what we once thought were all of the niches possible, but the surprising thing is that all that coverage simply initiates many new niches.
