last.fm is so awesome I just got using it a while back. I only use it for the stats I get from sending my recently played tracks from my music player. I use listen on my ubuntu 9.10 laptop and it sends on the info nicely.
I even put a rss feed of the recently played [...]
I got an invite to test out wave in the sandbox. Its very good but the main thing I have to say is it has a very steep learning curve. You can use it (kinda) just like an email but thats not the only functionality that wave has. The collaboration between people on the wave [...]

I just want to throw my size 10 and a half boot in on the whole Mono controversy.
First one link that some may have not seen

The community promise is legally binding. All that it contains is a promise that you can do whatever the hell you like with anything under it. If you sue Microsoft [...]
Im hearing a lot about this RMS sexism thing and my only thought on it is that he is an eccentric hardcore guy. He has strong views about everything. You shouldnt care because he is a crazy old coot. He shouldnt be taken that seriously anymore though in my opinion.
Of course I love free software [...]
