Here is a small interface change from iTunes 10 that greatly improves the usage I make of it.
No more empty album artwork in the left column for Unknown Albums. This is a huge space saver. Before, each line was taking as much space as an complete album just to show an empty cover.
It’s 2010 now. This is the time when great bands like Arcade Fire make videoclips with HTML5 and Google Maps.
I loved it, my version was taking place in the industrial district of the suburb were I grew up, not far from my first job as a teen. The finale of the clip took all the meaning it could for me.
Awesome.
Update: This website made me think about the stupid HTML5 vs Flash war. This is exactly the kind of website Flash was built for and I think there is a lot of reasons why this website should have been done in Flash.
After yesterday’s post about a parody of Inception from CollegeHumor, here is another good one, if not better.

Interesting to have a behind-the-scene glimpse of Wine Library TV, but also to here Gary speak about video again.

Alex Rodriguez became the seventh player to hit 600 home runs, but he’s the youngest to do so.

Using WP-prettyPhoto is easy.
If you want to quickly add a lightbox functionnality to view your images in WordPress, I suggest you try WP-prettyPhoto by friend Pier-Luc. This plugin wraps the excellent prettyPhoto lightbox clone by other friend Stéphane Caron into a WordPress plugin with options and easy installation.
I recommend it because it took me about two minutes to setup here to my liking and because the styling is clean and the transitions are fast. Very neat. See examples below, two picture from my childhood in the 80′s.
