Music Archive Project – Resources
I’ve recently been working on a tool to allow multiple users to maintain and contribute to an online library of music.
I was overjoyed to find MusicBrainz. I first looked at the offerings from Gracenote (owners of the CDDB) but was less than thrilled with the idea of paying for the service. MusicBrainz provides a free [...]
On Government and Change
Bits and pieces from a conversation earlier. A longer version is below.

OpenID enabled for Comments

Kenna – Red Man
Oddly enough, those are both track 6 from their respective albums.
linking bookmarks to searches – automated tagging

You usually get to a site you wish to bookmark via direct search. You can use those search terms as a starting set of tags for the bookmark. This could happen automatically if you have something like google toolbar installed which tracks your searches.
If you arrive at a site several links away from a [...]
