I don’t miss much about owning CD’s, I’m pretty glad to move away from broken jewel cases and scratched CD’s– except I miss one thing: The cover artwork. iTunes, iPods and the like have pretty much taken over my music world for good. I’m not entirely digital though, I still have a pretty solid collection of vinyl records because like many, I love album artwork! (And, I swear they sound better too). Finally released, CoverFlow is a new application that allows OS X users to browse their entire iTunes collection by album cover. If you’re missing an album’s artwork it can easily be downloaded and added. Smooth UI and great all around application, check it out.

The Hash House Harriers, heard of em? If you’re a runner (or even if you’re not) and you’re fond of chugging beer, then this eccentric club may be preparing your pledge name in a country nearby. (And be careful, they show no mercy in this department). With over 1700 groups in every major city in the world, these people who call themselves the “drinking group with the running problem” play a game of hare (runners who set the trail) and hounds (runners who seek the trail). Before, during and afterwards, there is hooliganism, debauchery and a lot of golden beverages. But it’s quite a hoot and a great way to make friends in a new country.
