decenturl

decenturl is a neat new website that takes an ugly URL, like those YouTube URLs and makes it into a pretty URL, which it then hosts on it's site.

some good tunes on the jwz mixtapes.

ahh, i miss mixtapes, those were the days, it's not the same with a CD, or with individual tracks, but I'm really into these mixes nowadays, that's mostly what I listen to all day, is the amazing hbr1, dreamfactory, a nice mellow techno mix.
