OHUM Aloodeh CD finally arrived today. O-HUM is an underground Iranian rock band, singing lyrics from Hafez. I really enjoyed the new album and I suggest you support them by buying it, especially that they released their two previous albums for free. The Album is published by Bamahang productions with nice cover art design from Zartosht Soltani.

Update: All the performances are online now.

A story on engadget about how Morse code beat SMS messaging in typing speed reminded me of how hard was that to type messages with a cell phone (btw, I don't have a cellphone here). I was always wondering how irritating it is to wait between key presses typing with 9 keys. But have you seen MessagEase? that's really a smart solution.

So funny, think of Bill Gates presenting a crashed device where Conan O'Brien is the talk host!
