I just bought my first on-line music album from Tycho

I visited a website called iso50 ( the visual work o Scott Hansen ) and there a soundtrack by a guy called Tycho was playing that I liked immediately. I clicked a link going to www.tychomusic.com on the bottom of the page and there I found that I could buy the cd in mp3 format for just 10$ through paypal. Now that's what i call convenience to the max. I became an instant fan and I bought the music the minute I wanted it. No proprietary format, no iTunes DRM and stick to an iPod crap, just press here buy and listen wherever and on whatever machine or player you prefer. Give Tycho a try and you might like it yourself.

My Digg and del.icio.us accounts.

Being a reader of Digg for quite some time now I decided to register and create my own account, hell I've been claiming internet firsts in my hometown for some time now so it was mandatory to have one. My dug stories can be found at :

In other news I also created a del.iciou.us account with my precious bookmarks some time ago and I really started getting the whole social bookmarking trend once I installed the del.icio.us extension on Firefox. My account along with my bookmarks can be found at :

del.icio.us/alexk7110

The lack of news on this blog can be substituted by the above accounts, although anything seriously worth mentioning will be posted here.
I will be moving to a new home in January and my blog postings will pick up heavily by then. Pictures will be posted..
