EMusic.com.
Dirk's post about EMusic.com got me interested in their business. These guys are actually clearing rights with owners and making downloadable music in mp3 format available. Sure, you won't find madonna, but there's plenty of good stuff here. They even have an 80's section. Woe is me! And it's legal!
What's even slicker is their affiliate program.
 Download, Play, Burn MP3s!!

Ben Hammersley on setting up a open wireless node. Ben Hammersley writes about setting up his public WiFi node in his Guardian column. Ben's experience is a little unusual -- within a dya of setting up his access point, Doc Searls (who was 9000 miles from home), stumbled upon it (and Ben). Later, at a group dinner with a bunch of British geeks, Matt Jones suggested chalking "WiFi hobo-runes" on the sidewalk marking discovered wireless service, so that other netstumblers and war-walkers may connect to it. Link Discuss (via Doc) [Boing Boing Blog]

Asteroid collision narrowly avoided. Sneaky astronomers reveal that the earth narrowly avoided disaster on June 14 when an asteroid the size of a football pitch made a too-close-for-comfort approach to our beloved rock. Yikes!
Catalogued as 2002MN, the asteroid was travelling at over 10 kilometres a second (23,000 miles per hour) when it passed Earth at a distance of around 120,000 km (75,000 miles). Link Discuss (Thanks, Amanda!) [Boing Boing Blog]
