The good news magical happy blog links report
I’ve filled my quota for curmudgeonly grousing for the day (see my last post about iPhone nickel-and-diming), so for the rest of this Tuesday, I’m only going to share happy, sunshiny tech news. Look at all the wonderful things happening:
- Some local Twitter users are organizing a Twitter blood drive on Thursday. You can sign up, meet some cool people and help someone with your precious bodily fluid. Sign up!
- A Minnesota airport now features a Samsung gadget charging station that you can use to electrify your devices for free. I want one in Austin! Make it happen, Austin-Bergstrom!
- Speaking of our lovely airport, they’re one of several airports testing out a new kind of laptop bag that will allow you to pass through security without having to take your notebook out of the case. Truly we live in a time of glorious baggage.
- The Rhapsody music service is set to offer legal, copy-protection-free MP3s, just like Amazon.com. That’s good news!
- I was just getting over my Pixies “Doolittle” download only to find out that 12 songs from The Who are coming soon. Welcome to my Xbox, “Baba O’ Riley.”
- Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Junot Díaz dissects “Grand Theft Auto IV” and gets to be all slangy in the pages of the Wall Street Journal. He decides that “GTA IV” is certainly art, but it’s no “Godfather.” Fair enough. The medium is young. It still was an enjoyable read!
Happy Tuesday!
