dmp3music.com: Convert your entire CD collection to MP3 without lifting a finger!

I saw this article in the Chronicle today for a startup company in the bay area that will help you convert your entire CD collection to MP3 if you are too lazy or dont understand how to convert the CD's yourself. Who wants to sit in front of there computer all day sticking CD's in and converting their entire collection?

"The company charges $1 to $1.25 per CD, but for extra fees Robins will also pick up and return the CDs within the Bay Area, set up the customer's computer library of songs and back up the collection on a DVD."

10x10 / 100 Words and Pictures that Define the Time

"10x10™ ('ten by ten') is an interactive exploration of the words and pictures that define the time. The result is an often moving, sometimes shocking, occasionally frivolous, but always fitting snapshot of our world. Every hour, 10x10 collects the 100 words and pictures that matter most on a global scale, and presents them as a single image, taken to encapsulate that moment in time. Over the course of days, months, and years, 10x10 leaves a trail of these hourly statements which, stitched together side by side, form a continuous patchwork tapestry of human life."
