Merry Freakin' Christmas!

I hope Santa fills your Christmas stockings with something other than oranges and stale peanuts.

DVD Shrink

DVD Shrink is software to backup DVD discs. You can use this software in conjunction with DVD burning software of your choice, to make a backup copy of any DVD video disc.

DVD Shrink will also burn your backup DVD, if you have installed the latest version of Nero. You can download a demo version of Nero here. If you already possess alternative burning software and prefer to stick with it, then you can still use DVD Shrink. The output from DVD Shrink can be saved as files on your hard drive, which you can then burn with software of your choice.

DVD Shrink is free software. You should never pay for DVD Shrink.

Brad Sucks | a one man band with no fans

Although Brad Sucks claims to be "a one-man band with no fans", I find it hard to believe given the overall wonderfulness of the band's songs. Brad Sucks encourages visitors to download, remix and/or mash-up any of the songs found on the website.

American Heartbreak

Podcaster Michael Butler's band is strongly influenced by Kiss, Ted Nugent, Aerosmith, AC/DC, and Cheap Trick. American Heartbreak blends a tough, raunchy glam/arena rock/metal aesthetic with the melodic allure and accessible hooks of classic pop radio.

Replay Music

Replay Music is a revolutionary new way to capture online music as individual MP3 files. Just play music from your favorite online radio station or streaming music service, and every song is saved on your PC as a high quality MP3 file, automatically tagged with the artist and song title, and perfectly separated into individual tracks. You can even burn songs directly to CDs. It's a great way to discover new music!

Combine Replay Music with mercora and the music can be yours to treasure forever.

mercora

Finally, a legal way to listening to everyone else's music. Using P2P technology, you can share your music files (via streaming) to anyone else with the Mercora client (and vice versa).

Being the fine folks that they are, Mercora takes care of all the reporting and royalty payments that are due to these various organizations. You (the end user) do not have to worry about any of this. What a relief!!

TFN FanFilms | Batman | Grayson

Absolutely the best Batman fanfilm ever made! Yes, the premise sounds a little bit hookey, but it is so well executed. Watch it.

Leoville

Leo Laporte is awesome. Just because Tech TV is gone doesn't mean that Leo's valuable computer advice is AWOL as well.

Check out the website. Visit the KFI radio site. Listen to the MP3 archives of his weekly show. It's all good.

Chicken Ranch

Chicken Ranch Records is the home of 'clip a.k.a. Geoff Johnston. This guy's stuff is awesome. "Alyssa Milano" is a classic Sandleresque-type song. MP3 files used to be available at the now defunct MP3.com. C'mon Geoff, get those files up somewhere else!
