Everything is miscellaneous

Just some random bits and bobs:

• Flashgot is a good Firefox extension that lets you highlight a bunch of links to files on a page and cue them all up to download in a sensible fashion - good for blog posts to hundreds of awesome tunes, for instance!
• Also, if you haven't come across it before, Hype Machine is a fantastic way to discover new music, aggregating the output of thousands of MP3 blogs and letting you listen radio-style right on the site - of course, downloading is only a click away.
• Structured Procrastination. It has a name! Quote:

  The list of tasks one has in mind will be ordered by importance. Tasks that seem most urgent and important are on top. But there are also worthwhile tasks to perform lower down on the list. Doing these tasks becomes a way of not doing the things higher up on the list. With this sort of appropriate task structure, the procrastinator becomes a useful citizen. Indeed, the procrastinator can even acquire, as I have, a reputation for getting a lot done.

Awesome!


• Stuff made out of cash, and you can even buy wallets-made-of-cash.
• Photos of the unknown with spycameras: Spy Box (sending a parcel through the mail that's secretly filming its environs) and Cat Cam (filming a cat's day using a digicam attached to his collar.) Trying to think what else you could do like this... something like aerial photography with party balloons but in such a way you can let the balloons go, and retrieve them again?
