Do you listen to music? well you probably listen to mostly songs you have downloaded, which I think give you no surprise in what you listen to. If you like to listen to new music for free while on your PC internet radio is great. And if you already have Windows Media Player there is no need to download anything extra (although having Winamp doesn’t hurt). Most of these stations have much less ads then local radio stations. There are thousands of net stations to tune into but you will only want to listen to some of these few.

977music Hitz [tune in (hitz)] 977 Music Hitz plays mostly top 40. Their Hitz station is my person favorite because it plays older songs with new music, in my opinion this is the only station you need.

977music 80’s [tune in] If you were a fan of the music in Vice City then you will enjoy this station.

Hot 108 Jamz [tune in] Plays only rap/hip-hop so if you like rap this station is for you.

[Winamp Stations] If you use Winamp (you probably already know) you can easily browse stations for Winamp.

If you notice the extensions on files .pls is for Winamp and .asx is for Windows Media Player.

ScribeFire is a Add-on for Firefox (which everyone should be using) which allows you to post directly to a blog from Firefox. The best part about it is that it just doesn’t publish to only wordpress.com, livejournal.com or blogger.com, you can do a blog on your site that is made from Wordpress, Drupal, Movable Type, and More. It’s useful for reading news from other sources and writing about it. After using it for about 10 minutes it has good impression from me… but one draw back is that you can’t upload images from the add-on.

ScribeFire (previously Performancing for Firefox) is a full-featured blog editor that integrates with your browser and lets you easily post to your blog. You can drag and drop formatted text from pages you are browsing, take notes, and post to your blog.

Edit: Just noticed that it adds a “powered by Scribefire” below posts, which isn’t cool. What ever happen to quite dignity.

Photoshop slowing down on you? Well here are some tweaks to speed it up.

• Close panels that are unnecessary and do not use, such as style and color selection.
• Go to preferences and turn memory usage on 60%-65% no mater how much RAM you have.
• Again in prefernces turn the export clipboard off (you won’t be able to paste to a program from PS).
• Drag and Drop files into Photoshop, don’t use the clipboard… it uses more RAM.

The film “American Gangster” has been leaked online… so if you were looking forward to this movie here it is. The film releases on November 2nd which means it’s leaked quite early, and in the form of a DVD screener which is the quality of a retail DVD.

A new Manhunt 2 trailer (trailer #3) has been released and the game looks crazy. From being rated Adult Only in the summer and now turning into a Mature game, this could become one of the most violent games ever. I can’t wait to see how they use the controls of the Wii. It is going to be available on Halloween which is a perfect date for the psychotic game.
