- The Stooges
Another pillar of my musical foundations, The Stooges' first album is one those records whose influence far outweighed its popularity. Like The Velvet Underground & Nico, hordes of people wh
- Rush
- We all know it, right? Well, ya just gotta have it. 2112 finally showed Rush out on their own, doing their own thing, and doing it well, IMHO.
- Massive Attack
"Black Milk" knocks me off my feet in this collection of moody and eclectic songs. Massive Attack uses samples and keyboards in a very unique way, but not all the songs pack the same punch.
- Spoon
Gimme Fiction by Spoon is a terrific album by an Austin band that I was lucky enough to catch on an Austin radio station during a Christmas visit.
- Chicago
For those of you who don't know, Chicago didn't always suck, and everyone in the band didn't always play a keyboard. When the band started off they were pioneers of rock and jazz fusion, and guita

Mobile Safari: Quick Domain Suffixes
Sunday, August 10th, 2008 at 4:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
Enter the URL for a Web site you want to visit in Mobile Safari on the iPhone or iPod touch, and your handheld dutifully sends you to the appropriate page even if you didn’t enter a domain suffix like .com. If you need to enter a complete URL, the domain suffix key automatically adds .com to addresses for you -- and you have to type out other suffixes, like .net, as long as you can manage some basic finger dexterity.
To add a domain suffix other than .com to a URL, just tap and hold the domain suffix key and a fly-out menu will appear after a second or two that contains the .net, .edu and .org domain suffixes. Slide your finger to the domain suffix you need and then lift your finger.
 Tap and hold .com to pick other domain suffixes. |
|---|
I use this to add domain suffixes when I am entering URLs with paths to specific places on a Web site. For example, entering apple.com/iphone in Mobile Safari’s Web address field takes me to Apple’s Web page for the iPhone.
As handy as this trick is, it isn’t available unless your iPhone, iPhone 3G, or iPod touch is running software version 2.0 or higher.
