Alkaline Trio This AddictionA couple new awesome items on iTunes this week:

First up is the latest album from one of my top 5 all time favorite bands: Alkaline Trio’s This Addiction. (My last.fm profile actually lists Alkaline Trio as my #2 most listened to band since 2005.) If you’re already an Alkaline Trio fan, it’s different enough that you don’t feel like you’re listening to the older stuff and it’s familiar enough that you don’t feel like you’re listening to a whole different band (*cough* like say Panic! at the Disco’s disappointing second album). If you’re not already an Alkaline Trio fan, check them out because they’re awesome.

Next up is seasons 1-4 of Criminal Minds. (The current season 5 was added a few weeks ago.) Finally! This series took forever to come out on DVD too and is rarely rerun. It has always come on at 10pm and I love sleeping so that’s usually my bedtime at the latest and while I’ve caught and loved a few episodes here and there, I’ve never been able to keep up with the series. Now’s my chance. Next we patiently await Cold Case.

I also see they’ve added Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred which some of my blogging friends are loving right now. It’d be a little intense for my health right now but maybe I’ll be able to do it some day.

I’m personally a bit underwhelmed by the iPad and don’t foresee getting one. I would like to see Apple bring iWork to the iPhone because I’m still on the hunt for a really good spreadsheet application that I can use on my iPhone.

Here are my favorite links for this edition of Link Love:

iTunes Genius Mixes: Now in 12 Different Flavors

01.28.2010 Entertainment & Technology

The other day, I was desparate for a quick mix and decided to give genius mixes a second chance. Previously I had lamented about how I had been given multiple iterations of only 3 genre based mixes rather than a true 12 different mixes.
Much to my surprise, there has been a significant improvement in variety. [...]

TomTom for iPhone

12.27.2009 Entertainment & Technology

Since I’ve got a bunch of iTunes credit saved up now, I decided to splurge on the TomTom for iPhone application that provides turn by turn directions while you’re driving.
My absolute favorite thing about the iPhone is that with it, I only need one gadget in my purse. My iPhone is replacing my need for [...]
