Smarter Smart Playlists in iTunes
A new site (new to me, thanks to Daring Fireball), Finer Things in Mac, pointed out that iTunes 9 gives you more control over your smart playlists: Smart Playlists in iTunes 9 have become smarter. They now offer more granular, nested control over rules for collecting content. I’ve had some pretty complex playlists in my …
“Moments”
I watched this video on the train last night (via the Radio Lab podcast) and thought it was very cool, not to mention more moving than I thought it would be:
