Nice, when I opened it it was 4.75%, then went up to 4.8% and I was like, whatev, just got another email and now it’s at 5.05%, now that’s an actual increase! ING really need to do something about their rates… I like their website better but their rate is really falling behind…

Valedictorian Complains of 'Hollow’ Public School Education
The valedictorian of a Blue Ribbon-awarded high school in New Jersey has left teachers and administrators with a sour taste in their mouths after using his June 20 valedictory speech to describe his education as “hollow” and one filled with “countless hours wasted in those halls.”

GBuy
Google Checkout was launched, they have an API so I can integrate it into packages like osCommerce or custom eCommerce sites. Should be much easier and cleaner than using PayPal IPN. Their fee structure is very attractive too. $.20 + 2%.
I was worried about the non-refundable $.20, coz if I were to write a OSC contrib I would be testing it quite a bit and they do add up. But you can actually use a “sandbox” account, not bad…

Underage teen girls rob adult man they met on MySpace
😆
Life imitates Hard Candy? Much recent media freakage over MySpace involves adult men accused of preying on underage girls. But in a different sort of incident reported last week, two Florida girls aged 14 and 15 created a bogus profile on MySpace, grabbed a pair of pistols, then robbed an adult man who arranged to meet the lovely but fictitious 18-year-old “Natalia” in person.According to the fake character’s profile details, Natalia was “just lookin’ for some fun.” Snip: “[One of the girls] took [a] gun out and put it to my head and told me to empty my pockets.” The girls didn’t get much because the victim had forgotten his wallet. They let him go, unharmed, and he called police.

iTMS gonna sell tracks in Apple Lossless?
If this is true, I will be spending a bit less at Amazon and a lot more at iTMS… I guess it depends on how much AL tracks will sell for.
A new version of Apple Computer’s iTunes Producer software suggest that the company may begin to offer tracks through its iTunes Music Store that are encoded in its higher-quality lossless compression format.

LightSource – podcast on studio photography
I just found this podcast via their Flickr group, listened to one of the episodes at the gym, pretty useful information. If you’re interested in learning and improving as a portrait photographer, or if you’re a photographer wanting to listen and learn about lighting techniques, I highly recommend subscribing to it.
