Phish - Joy
The first time I heard about Phish’s new album it was in working title mode as “Party Time.” This probably got a laugh out of most Phish fans, as the title lacks the one thing the band has mastered over the years - subtlety of wit.

Zeus Jones does a very cool writeup on Tumblr’s signup process!
Read this. And then read it again. But skip down to the first paragraph before the screenshots. The rest is unnecessary.

How to fix your Apple mouse when the scroll ball...
Anything from finger grease to dirt can make the scroll ball stop working, but here’s an easy fix straight from Apple product reviews. I just tried it and it works like a charm.
