- Google Contacts API

I love his perspective on the world, and really, really must get to a talk by him at some point.
- File this one under holy crap! It starts with (kottke.org)
OK, you can’t draw an exact cause-and-effect line, but that line to a history of “Hallelujah” that I posted the other week did the rounds (I think I got it off Waxy), and suddenly, Jeff Buckley’s version of the song is the top selling track on iTunes.
