So I found this pretty rad site called Muxtape, that uses Amazon S3 for file storage, and allows you to upload 12 songs into a web based mixtape. I already made mine, you can see it here. It’s very clean, very easy, and very very fast.
If you’re an old fart like me, you’ll enjoy the nod to an older generation in a fresh new format.
So, I’m testing out moblogging from my cellphone using a program I found called Traveling Blogger. Let’s see how it works out.

Microsoft’s HD Photo standard is now officially tapped to become JPEG’s successor by the Joint Photographic Experts Group, but it’ll be known as JPEG XR. XR stands for extended range, given the wider color palette and finer gradations it can show. Other benefits include in-camera imaging processing support and, supposedly, better compression. Besides losing its Windows-y name (in a former life, it was Windows Media Photo) it’s dropping proprietary control by Microsoft to become as neutral as JPEG is now. Though support’s already built-in to Windows Vista, it’ll take a year to get standardized, at which point large-scale adoption will probably start picking up steam. [Cnet via Electronista]
