been a lot of goofin around on the machines tonight. wanted to play paper mario for a while but i know i'll just end up getting sucked into a 2 hour gaming session. i messed around with google talk a bit, using iChat. it's a cool concept to unite all the major IM protocols, although you have to have a GMail account, which i had never even bothered with. so right now my jabber/gmail buddy list consists of... rick. heh, damn.

i was looking through some Growl applications and came across Last.fm, which looks pretty cool so far. it's basically a community for tracking people's music habits and meshing people with similar tastes. it tracks whatever i play through iTunes with a plug-in and uploads it to the site. you can even write small blog entries about certain artists or albums. it's cool to open up an album listing and see how popular each track is, too. check out my profile on the link to the left. (although i'm sure it'll be more interesting after a month.)

3am thunder is cool.
