The Sorry State of Download Music Services
In this New York Times article, David Pogue summarizes why consumers are reluctant to sign up for download music services: confusing pricing, limited selection, and DRM.
Amazingly, he didn't even mention emusic.com -- the only service that provides unlimited downloads of unprotected files for a fixed monthly fee.

Beer Butt Chicken
I make beer butt
chicken the old-fashioned way: Shove a can of beer up a chicken and stand it up
on the grill, forming a tripod with the beer can and the chicken legs.
We don't need no stinkin' beer can chicken apparatus!

George Harrison Handwriting Font
Christian Schwartz created a font based on George Harrison's handwriting.
Working from samples of George Harrison's handwriting, I designed this font to be used in all of the publicity materials surrounding the release of Brainwashed, his final album, and a tribute concert. I drew a whole bunch of ligatures and alternates, to make it look as organic as possible.
Not available for download.
