A Beautiful Flower

Just found out about this website that my cousin's cousin (???) started. It's actually a really cool concept and is similar to the idea I had about iTunes early in the month. The site is Aralie.com and it is still in beta but it is really cool. Basically it allows anyone to put up recordings of their music and people are allowed to download it for whatever price they want. The artist gets to keep 85% of whatever people are willing to pay and the rest goes back to the site. They also have an embedded application you can put on facebook or your blog or wherever. It's a really cool idea and could get pretty big if people spread it around more. I'm looking at you Gary. It's a great way for people just starting out to get their music around. The site needs work to make it more community oriented (top rated, most purchased, most listened to, recently added, etc.) but they are constantly updating it. They also have interviews and help promote small bands.

This team will be entirely made up of actual human players that each play their own player and have their own camera angle that follows that player. You'll also be able to create your own emblem and participate in leagues online.

The Hancock Step-Brothers

Went to the drive-in this weekend with Caitlin and saw Step-Brothers and Hancock. Step-brothers was just what you would expect from a movie with John C. Reilly and Will Farrel. If you like them then go see it for sure, if you don't then don't bother. Hancock was pretty good. I thought it felt a little shallow compared to superhero movies that are based on characters that have been around for awhile. Will Smith did an excellent job though.
