energy saving, and goth as all hell
someone told google that if they changed their color scheme from white to black it would save 750 megawatt hours a year, so they said, why not. you can check out blackle and do you google search in an easy-on-the-eyes black, which is also pretty goth.

iHack
after several failed attempts and much twiddling with drives and MBRs, i am now happily running a fully functioning (albeit silent, at the moment) copy of Mac OSX on my PC. i had to wipe my ubuntu install but i made a full backup before doing so, so i should be able to restore it…

remixing nin
nin.com has posted that trent will be releasing all of year zero to the public for remixing. so far he’s got “survivalism” (only in garageband format) and now added “capital g,” “me, i’m not,” and “my violent heart” into the mix, all of these having .wav files for the rest of us non-osx-ers. i d/l’d…
