iTunes & Ehcache - You figure it out
Thanks to Greg Luck, I discovered something new in iTunes called My iTunes that lets you export your purchases out as RSS or as a widget to display on your website. Check out a sample of my purchases below - With DRM free music from Amazon, I'm not buying anything from iTunes that's available on Amazon. By the way, Greg Luck is one of the lead developers of Ehcache, which IMHO is the best and most widely used Java distributed caching framework.

Coldplay on Austin City Limits
I just saw Coldplay on PBS's Austin City Limits and they delivered an awesome show. Every since I found out about the taping via Coldplay's mailing list, I had set every DVR in my house to take tape the show. Watching the hour-long concert in HD was awesome.
The show was very intimate and Chris Martin and gang did an impromptu tribute to Johnny Cash in the middle of the show. Then they brought out Michael Stipe (REM) as a special guest and they did 2 songs including REM's Nightswimming, which Chris Martin called the greatest song ever written. He had some pretty funny banter through out the show. The funniest line was when he was introducing Michael Stipe – Chris said that they called Michael Bolton and he couldn't make it and so they settled for Michael Stipe. It was funny – You had to be there.
The hour-long set was pretty standard with a mix of old and new with 'Fix You' closing out the set. Check out the ACL website for pictures and some behind-the-scene stuff including interviews.
