Web Guitar Wizard Revealed at Last: "The piece that funtwo played with mounting dexterity was an exceedingly difficult rock arrangement of Pachelbel's Canon, the composition from the turn of the 18th century known for its solemn chord progressions and its overexposure at weddings.

Incredible!

Print a free book from Google -- Comment()
Google adds to free book downloads: "Google Inc. today plans to begin letting consumers download and print free of charge classic novels and many other, more obscure books that are in the public domain. Using Google's Book Search service, Web surfers hunting titles like Dante's "Inferno" and Aesop's Fables will be able to download PDF files of the books for later reading, to run keyword searches or to print them on paper. Until now, the service only allowed people to read the out-of-copyright books online."
