Thanks for the links as usual. DBT’s RSS tips, I had gone through already… will have to read GIMP tips as I am struggling with it and no money to buy Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro
Cheers,

@Ron/Jim – Oh man, mp3′s would be awesome. I guess I could start searching but it might be impossible.
@Ajith – The gimp is a little hard to get used to but I don’t think it’s any harder than Photoshop and it’s almost as powerful. There are a lot of good tutorials out there. Maybe I will try to dig some up this week.
@Mike – Thanks! I’ve got some reading to do on your site too.

Kim – these are fab links. I really loved the Guy Kawasaki one on Twitter. I hadn’t heard of Smores before – aside from the ones you eat.

Great links Kim!

Kim,
I can’t believe how much I keep running into the Swedish bands thing. That is too funny.
Thanks for the list. That will keep me busy throughout the day for sure!

@Ari – LOL. The only Swedish band I even know of is Abba. Lately I’ve been listening to hip-hop/rap – bands like Top Choice Clique, The Welfare Poets and Aesop Rock. I’ve been a little angry …
