I just came across this because I saw that Assemblage 23 is doing a remix of one of their songs. Black Audio is a side-project consisting of AFI members Davey Havok and Jade Pudget. The sound is very synthesizer driven; they describe the project as "2 boys in love with synthesizers and software." I'll probably keep an eye on this. There are only two songs up on their myspace page, "Stiff Kittens" isn't too bad, but I'm not too sure if I'm feeling "Bitter For Sweet."

Martian Caves
Check it out, some crazy black spots on the surface of mars have been discovered. Quite possibly, if martians do exist (heh), these are entrances into deep underground caves! or something.. .

Recording Police, a Felony?!
This story is rediculous. This guy records a police officer during a traffic stop and is charged with a felony wiretapping charge with a penalty of up to 7 years in jail. He had a $2,500 bail for this. What I find wrong about this is the wiretapping laws are to protect against privacy, [I feel] police officers should have no expectation of provicay while they are on duty and doing their jobs. well, that's one of many things that is wrong with this.

Fined for using alternative fuel types?
More talk and cases of injustices in our legal system? not kidding. Bob Teixeira of North Carolina decided to mod his diesel car so it runs on vegetable oil. Sounds like an awesome and great idea! Break our dependence on foreign oil, and work towards alternative forms of fuel. Our government appearantly doesn't think it's such a cool thing. Bob Teiceira has been fined $1,000 for not paying fuel taxing! Not only that, he has been told to expect another $1,000 fine from the federal goverment, and he would have to post a $2,500 bond if he ever wants to use vegetable oil legally.

Stage6
Stage6 is another video sharing site, but it's running on divx technology so the video quality is alot better than that you will find at youtube and such. Stage6 is still in it's beta stages, so there are still bugs to be worked out and content to be added. The only thing I'm not too happy about is having to install their player, but i got over that. I've found some cool stuff on the site so far.

The Pirate Bay Video Sharing Site
The Pirate Bay, one of the largest sites for the sharing of torrents, has announced that it will be opening up it's own video streaming site. It's speculated to be much like youtube except, well, people will be able to post whatever they want because the MPAA and RIAA have yet to be able to touch The Pirate Bay. The site will be at www.thevideobay.org when it is up.
Pixar's latest, Wall-E
A teaster for Pixar's upcoming film, WALL-E.
here is a link to higher quality trailers link
I hate posting youtube videos because they never do justice to the videos, but I don't really think most people want to take the time to follow links. I suggest watching the higher quality videos, I personally hate watching the crapped version of videos on youtube.
Safari Reaches One Million Downloads
As you may or may not know, Apple just released it's web browser, Safari, onto the Windows platform. It's now reporting that it has already reached one million downloads. This is awesome news, simple for the fact that it cuts into some of Microsoft's market share.
On a simular note, Firefox just recently reached 25% market share. More and more people are seeing the light that is firefox. :)

Wonder Where Your Disk Space Went?
WinDirStat is a handy windows app that helps you find where all of your disc space went. It's actually really cool. It gives a graphic visual of what is taking up all of the space on your HDD, and it tells you exactly what directories take up the most space. I know i have ran into the problem of having no clue why I'm runnig out of disc space, so I'm sure most everyone else has too. It's a free download, so give it a try.

that's not a screenshot of my hdd, it's the example from the website. Mine's much.. . bluer. :)

Google Maps Streets View
google maps has just opened up streets view for use with google maps. it's pretty impressive. i don't really know about everyone else, but i'm somewhat become weary of the direction these google products are going. don't get me wrong, i'm a fan of google, but i do see privacy issues arising in the near future.
here's a video showing of the product:
