mp3DirectCut
mpesch3 audio tools. I’ve got to say this utility is just awesome. Not spyware, etc. and it is amazingly fast. Since it edits MP3s directly, it is amazingly quick to do. On Windows XP, you don’t even need a playback driver. It does need LAME if you are going to do encodings. Here are some…

SpamLookup
MT-Blacklist/Comment Spam Clearinghouse: Introducing SpamLookup I’ve been using MT-Blacklist for a while, but now it looks like its time to convert to SpamLookup, a new plugin by Brad Choate. Even the author of MT-Blacklist thinks folks should switch. It adds many more rules for preventing spam, which everyone needs. I’m up to 35,000 comment spam…

Compact Cranks
Weight Weenies – Crank Sets. I’m trying to decide on a compact crank set for my Trek. Right now I have a 39/53 ring and Brad and others have really been telling me that a 34/50 is more practical. But, which one to get? Weight Weenies is a good source to at least find out…

Lightman Strobe

They have something called the USB Mass Storage Firmward…
