When I was in high school I used to spend my Saturday mornings making mix tapes to play in my 1990 Pontiac Bonneville when I went out on Saturday night. Sure, iPods and other devices that you can dump all your favorite music onto are convenient but there are few things more personal than a mix tape. (Anyone who has made one for a special someone knows what I mean.) Now there's a program that lets you make "mix tapes" that you can put on your blog and I just couldn't resist.

In addition to making a toy model to show the tipping-point behavior of charged pieces of sticky tape, I spent some time on Tuesday trying to do something quantitative with this. Of course, Tuesday is the one day of the week that I don't teach, and I didn't want to go to campus to do the experiment…
excellent choice of tracks there! I don't even have a working tape player anymore, how bad is that?
Unless they have royalties covered the RIAA is going to be all over their ass. The fact it's on a private site means nothing, what matters is that it's being shared with the world. I would recommend people find out what relationship these people have with the recording industry. I know that people put songs up on their sites or blogs, but this time the recording industry has a target they can go after.
Are you kidding? I still make "mix tapes", in a sense. Nowadays they just happen to be called "playlists". My Sansa c250 is full of them.
