Reddit is slowly becoming my goto community and news source. This example of corporate anarchy is just one tiny reason why.

8tracks:

We just pushed a new homepage, which makes finding mixes much easier via 4 new or improved features:

1. TOGGLE.  
You can choose to slice-and-dice all mixes on the network OR only those by people you follow.  We save your preferred starting point when you return.

2. FILTER.  
The most-frequently applied tags now live on your homepage.  Click one — or 2 or more — to find the “intersection” of mixes with both or all of those tags. Try it out and, if you like, subscribe to the RSS feed to get exactly those mixes you’re likely to like delivered to your reader.

3. SORT.  
Whether you’re starting from all mixes or your mix feed, and whichever permutation of tags you select, you can sort the results by New (aka Recent), Hot (most plays in last 7 days), or Popular (now defined as most plays in last 30 days rather than cumulative plays).

4. VIEW.  
Some listeners like the “list” view (pictured here) because it provides more detail. Others prefer the “grid” view (as on our old, logged-out homepage) for visual impact and ready review of results. Pick the one you like best, and we’ll save your preference when you return.

Enjoy.

Hey look, new 8tracks home page. Unfortunately for you, I’ve still got the hottest and most popular mix. Please pursue…

Cameo, ‘Shake Your Pants’ 1980

Best thing I’ve seen in a while.

The Association for Retarded Citizens is appalled at Jennifer Aniston’s usage of the word “retard.”

They suggest stars consider using the word “ridiculous” instead.

Every day I want to live in the East Village a little more.

ActiveRecord is pretty smart sometimes. Self-referential has_many relations are totally possible, and rails builds a pretty query to do it.

Check it:

class Nose < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :similar_noses, :class => 'Nose', :foreign_key => 'nose_type', :primary_key => 'nose_type'
end

crooked_nose = Nose.find_by_name('Crooked')
crookeds = crooked_nose.similar_noses
# SQL: SELECT * FROM noses WHERE nose_type = 'crooked_kind_of_nose'

crookeds.collect{|nose| nose.name }
# => ['Armenian', 'Polish', 'Broken', 'Crooked']
