Move over, Grey Album -- "London, Booted". Former BoingBoing guestblogger Todd Lappin says,
 "Hot on the heels of the Grey Album comes another innnnteresting mash-up/bootleg project that was originally posted as a collaborative challenge to DJs in February. The goal: Take one track from the Clash's "London Calling," and "remix it, add to it, subtract from it
- put your own tributary spin on it." The result is "London Booted" - 19 tracks (plus a few bonus extras) of eclectically reinterpreted Clash. In return for the download, the project organizers are asking listeners to donate to one of several charities, including Future Forests, a reforestation initiative that was a favorite of Joe Strummer. For £17.50 you can even have your own tree in Joe Strummer's Rebel Woods, a future forests project on the Isle of Lucy... er... Skye."
Pretty righteous. I'm fond of "Bubba's Got a Brand New Cadillac," "What about Brixton," and "(Spanish Bombs) over Baghdad," a mashup with a track from Outkast's Stankonia. Hmmmm.... Outklash? Link to London Booted home, and try this alternate site if that doesn't work. |

Up close review of GMail. Here's a review of Google's Gmail, written by a Beta user.
This is the time to say that for Gmail you are not senders of electronic messages, you are "conversers." For this reason, when you delete a message, Gmail will tell you, "The conversation has been moved to the trash."
This is about more than semantics. If, in Hotmail for example, you send four emails to four friends, asking them their opinion about a certain restaurant, every answer comes in as a separate email. Google thinks this is a mistake. "It's a conversation," the service maintains, and it put all the answers together under one roof - the "conversation." Thus, instead of four answers, you'll get one answer containing the messages from each friend who responded to your question. Link (via Interesting People)

Weird books for tinkerers and mad scientists. I came across an ad for Lindsay's Technical Books in Popular Science. The ad reads like a classified that would have been in the back of the magazine fifty years ago: "Secrets! Melt Metal! Machine Shop! Hydrogen! Old Time Radio! Tesla! Chemistry! Incredible plans, lost secrets, forgotten how-to, and strange books!" It looks like these folks have a lot of fun in their basement labs and backyard foundries. Link
