Midomi: You know the one that goes….
Hey fellas,
I came across this site Midomi today. Basically it looks like a social space that allows you to get some help finding a song that you only know the beat or words to. Now where was this when I was searching for the track from Blade 1.
Then again I would have never met rip. LOL

Happy New Year from JV
Happy New Year, folks! Here’s a good old fashioned tech post and update, SnowBrain style.
OK then, for 2007 here’s my first tech/dev post — here’s a link to Adobe Lab’s Apollo which, in case you’ve been living under a rock for the last year or so, happens to be a cool and interesting API for leveraging your webtastic dev talents to create desktop (yes, I said desktop) rich internet apps that run cross platform (yes, I said cross platform).
