Musician Ryan Adams' Success Secret [Goals] (27)

One night I stumbled on one of his televised performances, which involved a question and answer session with the audience afterwards.

How to move your iTunes library (more safely than I did) (24)
on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) (1268) permalinkFiled under: Analysis / Opinion, Multimedia, How-tos, Tips and tricks, iTunesI should say, even before I start this post, that I've moved my iTunes library from one installation of iTunes to another, and what I did was just copy everything in the /Music/iTunes folder from one Mac to the other.

How to Pick a Lock with a Bump Key [How To] (46)
on Lifehacker (6474) permalinkFrom the "use this for good, not evil" files comes a fascinating instructional video on how to pick a lock with a "bump key"—a key modified to fit and open any lock.

What Jet Grind Radio For Wii Might Have Looked Like (5)
permalinkFollowing yesterday's rumor on the return of Jet Grind Radio, said to be a Wii-bound release, we were tipped off to the work of Cory "Rey" Lewis who posted concept art from a "proposed" Jet Grind Radio title. While the post featuring the artwork — archived after the jump — was dated from March of 2008, Lewis lists the artwork for characters Beat, Gum, Tab and Professor K as dating back to 2006. He also ...

One WoW Expansion Per Year? Not Necessarily [Interview] (1)

So how does that jive with previous Blizzard comments by COO Paul Sams that suggest the company plans to release a new expansion every twelve months? Today, Kotaku spoke to WoW game director Jeffrey Kaplan, who was able to offer some clarification. "That is our goal, and sometimes it gets taken in a weird direction," he said. "Like you're failing ...Shared by Andrew (16)
- Andrew said: How is it they want to release an expansion every year, yet the can't release new content for said expansion more often than once every 3 months? This is complete and total bullshit to expect monthly payments in addition to having no content released during the year and then require the purchase of the expansion!
