Now this brings back fond memories. What would happen if an owner of a junk yard decided to fly to the moon and salvage the space junk that had been left up there? You would get a TV series from the late 70’s that captures the spirit of non government funded space exploration. While this show was on I remember being obsessed with the notion that just about anyone that had enough parts in their junkyard could fly into space. Now I realize that its a bit harder than that but with dedication it’s true. No one is quite up to a run to the moon just yet but maybe someday soon. Go have a look at the stills and listen to the audio clips, heck if you have time you can even build the paper model of the Vulture. I can see a new TV series based on this idea being quite popular in a few years. As soon as commercial ventures like Virgin Galactic start flying people might have a renewed interest in space. We can only hope they will.

No iPod? No Problem!
I recently started using my Viewsonic V36 PDA as an MP3 player. Yeah, I know, Earth shaking news ain’t it. Well as I use iTunes as my music orginizer I knew that I’d be jumping through hoops to get music on to the PDA. You don’t know how happy I was when I found this app.
iTunes is a great music player and organizer. Unfortunately iTunes is made to only synchronize with iPods. Not everyone own an iPod, though Apple certainly would have loved that. How great would it not be if you could synchronize your non-iPod MP3 player, your Playstation Portable and your Walkman phone with your iTunes Library? Enter: iTunes Agent!
It works great, heck I told a guy at work about it and he’s using it to sync his phone to his library.

Automating Bit Torrent Downloads
Not that I’d ever suggest that one should infringe on a copyrighted work, but if your going to do it you might as well do it with gusto. This is a short tutorial on how to set up your favorite bit torrent down loader to automatically grab torrents that are hit by a filtered feed of a servers RSS feed. This is aimed at getting anime shows but I think you could adapt it to your tracker of choice. I bet if you did this and left home on a long weekend your computer would run out of drive space. That’s just a guess.

China’s Moon Probe Will Play Music?
Sure, cell phones can play music. I can buy in on that one I suppose. But when it’s announced that China’s lunar probe that’s slated to be launched next year will play music, I can’t see the point. Is it for national price? To say that their music is ‘out of this world’? Or maybe it’s to provide a much needed change for the poor scientists that have been in the secret base on the far side of the moon for all these years. I find that as plausible as any other explanation that’s been offered.
