Jeffrey Veen: MP3 Blogs and wget. Also, a blog dedicated to the workhorses of UNIX downloading, wget and curl (both of these programs work quite fine on Windows, through cygwin or perhaps other distributions).
Here’s a link to some free classical music to experiment with.

sod@off.org is taken
While playing the Realplayer bit mentioned in the previous item, Realplayer insisted on an upgrade. I had heard this install process might be less evil than the one which blackened Real’s reputation in the past, but it still insists on a registration with personal details (hmm. Last time this would pop-up at start up and I could skip it with multiple “cancel” clicks, but this time it’s built into the installer. Less evil my ass).
Anyway, while filling in bogus details, I was amused to learn that the account sod@off.org was taken. So I added some stronger language. I am now registered at Real as sod@offyoustupiddicks.org.

QuirksMode (Javascript)
QuirksMode is not just a very useful reference site, it also provides valuable Javascript elitism to counteract (or complement?) CSS elitism.
