"This Friday, June 12, TV stations nationwide will cease broadcasting analog signals and switch to digital-only broadcasts...Starting Friday, I can no longer get TV on the radio." Didn't think of this, what a bummer. I've used this trick occasionally too, especially when the power goes out. [via MeFi]

"...new kinds of lock-in in the era of [cloud computing] will be owning a namespace." That's Chris Messina paraphrasing Tim O'Reilly on Web 2.0 in general, applied to Facebook's new vanity URL feature specifically.

"I tried to alternate the charming children's covers with the creepy modernist covers, but I soon lost the ability to tell one type from the other." Excellent collection of early 20th century graphic design in Japan. Be sure to check out the previous post with book covers too.

Hey cool, JD posted a nice article about Fuelly now that he's been using it for most of a year. "Note that the average fuel economy on my Mini Cooper is better than the best tank on my Ford Focus!"

Nice summary of Fuelly with a list of things to do once you sign up. I bet interest increases directly with gas prices.

Google's take on YSlow--Yahoo's excellent website performance analyzer. Not as polished as YSlow, but looks promising and includes some analysis that YSlow doesn't cover such as CSS efficiency and image compression.

This is a sharp bike. It's 8-speed, has a carbon drive belt instead of an oily chain, and includes fenders for Oregon weather. Officially on my wish list. [via mathowie]

"What are some books that people are particularly likely to be assholes about?" Another fun thread gathering books that people are, umm, passionate about.

"You know the one. I can't think of its name. It's the one they always use." Hilarious thread that catalogs overused songs in movies and TV.

"...you can use LineIn to play sound coming in through a microphone or any other device plugged in to your Sound In port..." Used this today to pipe my iPhone through the computer speakers.

Music Share: En la Caleta
I used to play guitar and I still remember the day I discovered the pentatonic blues scale. It was like discovering the DNA of all the music I'd grown up listening to. I eventually learned that you could draw a straight line from Robert Johnson to just about any of the music I was listening to.
I'm still startled when I hear music that's built from entirely different DNA. And that's what flamenco feels like to me because I can't picture the structure as it's playing and I have no sense of its history. It's obviously following some strict rules, but I don't have a handle on them yet. I especially like this track with unusual rhythm called En la Caleta from what I think was Paco de Lucía's debut solo album in 1967.
(Get Flash or visit the site to see the MP3 player.)

Ryan Tate on Oakland bloggers: "...I often found that bloggers were the only other writers in the room at certain city council committee meetings and at certain community events. They tended to be the sort of persistently-involved residents newspapermen often refer to as 'gadflies' — deeply, obsessively concerned about issues large and infinitesimal in the communities where they lived."

"They certainly don't make SF book jackets like they used to." Fun post about classic Penguin book covers. I enjoyed browsing through the Penguin Covers on Flickr as well, and I recommend Penguin By Design by Phil Baines for even more design inspiration.

Eric Johnson covered on a Nintendo. He mimicked the guitar tones (including harmonics) well. I can almost picture the side-scrolling shooting spree this could back. [via waxy]

Lifehacker brings down the hammer on commenters. Interesting to see what will earn someone an instant ban from their site; it's a catalog of bad online behavior.
