Can the world have enough start pages? The geniuses over at Pageflakes don’t think so. They have created something truly unique: a personalized home page with little modules of content that interest you. Don’t like where the modules are placed? You can drag them around the page. The future is now!

Uncov is my new favorite blog.

I’m in a “don’t do anything mood” so I decided to pull up and post my iTunes Top 25 Most Played songs.

And feel free to steal my XSL if you want it. It’s all in the code.

I found a great website today, the IMSLP (International Music Score Library Project). It is very tough to find high quality classical (or other miscellaneous public domain) sheet music. Fortunately, this site has a great collection (and it is powered by MediaWiki software, so you too can upload and edit!). I also linked to the site in my sidebar, via del.icio.us.

On the subject of classical music, I’m seeking a recording of Tchaikovsky’s “Capriccio Italien” (”Caprice Italien” in the French form). I can’t justify paying $0.99 at this stage (especially when I now have the sheet music sitting in front of me, so I suppose I could record my own version), but I would like to listen to it again so I can decide if I want to arrange this piece or another for the Music Theory class I take.

I have wrapped up the article for GizBuzz about the FreeNation Foundation. I’m planning to publish it on Tuesday (Google Analytics stats never fail to display Tuesday as our busiest day).

Tchaikovsky is so awesome. He really is. If you haven’t already, go to ClassicCat.net and download some of his stuff. It blows me away to no end. Also, I would be most remissed if I failed to mention Antonin Dvorak, another phenomenal composer. Yes, I am a romantic era junkie.

This is an interesting article that examines the overall effect (or lack thereof) of technology on the vocabulary on teenagers, specifically in Great Britain. It attempts to debunk the idea that technology is ruining the linguistics of teens, arguing that this is nothing more than age-old alarmist attitudes. Great read!
