Woke up at 3 a.m. and required a post-midnight snack. Checked my email and found this lovely nugget of a link from my friend, Jim. Via here.

Ze’s good enough that I didn’t want this getting lost in my stream of tweets and bookmarks (plus I want to try out blip.tv’s share embed code, below). The internet’s been celebrating since his return, and rightfully so. If unfamiliar, check out some favorites from his old show if you haven’t already.

[This is the second version of this tutorial. It might look familiar, but is quite different (in that it should work for everyone). A big shout-out to Juan for finding an amicable file host.]

For those interested in taking advantage of Wordpress.com’s great new audio player, but are not sure how — and/or don’t want to pay to do so — here’s one way that’s both free and easy.

Afterwards you’ll be able to do this with any .mp3 on your computer (click play):

Artist: The Can Kickers | Song: Froggy Went a Courtin’

Via Blurbomat. Funny:

Wordpress.com just offered to its users Snap capability. It’s enabled right now, which means if you hover your cursor over a link in my main content, it’ll pop-out a preview of what page it would jump to if you clicked. Try it out.

As of now, I think this is more cool than irritating, but if you disagree, you can disable the feature on your own by clicking on the options button in the upper right corner of the preview window.

Your thoughts on this technology?

[Update.  I shut it off.  Too in-your-face]
