Here be loads of links for you, as I've been too busy to mention.

Is JT Leroy for real, or just a pseudonym? Here's an investigative article.

New screen-shots from the latest build of Windows Vista: here is a gallery of shots of the Windows Explorer interface, and here is a gallery displaying the search functionality (now that indexing seems to be improved - yet one still does not know which folders are and aren't searched).

I recently ordered the very fresh semi-autobiography of John Peel's life, called "Margrave Of The Marshes". His widow wrote the second part of the book, as Peel sadly passed away a little more than a year ago. Looks very interesting, as he's one of the most inspiring, musically speaking, people I've ever heard.

I see Danger Mouse and MF Doom have come together to drop "Danger Doom", an album of great hip-hop-ish proportions. Get that one.

Just caught a glimpse of a horrific little e-mail a lad's published, which is from his dad, who works in the food industry. It's a recap of his stroll through the food industries of Bejing, China. Check the e-mail in its entirety here. Here are some interesting bits from it:

I toured hydroponics facilities growing lettuce for McDonald's. Each room was twice the length of a football field and about as wide. [...] Then it was off to view all the animal breeding centers: Simental, Black Angus, etc., bulls and cows. Really big ones weighing more than one ton each. Then we saw the Transgenic ones: these are produced by manipulating genetic materials of two different strains. Then we saw the clones: These are produced from say a Holstein cow where you take a skin cell and dissect out the genetic material and replace it with genetic material from another cell, perhaps from the same animal or could even be from a separate animal, and the genetics might even have a special gene in it for some human trait such as the ability to produce human serum albumin.

I like Mobility Email, a highly tweaked version of Mozilla Thunderbird, a very popular, free e-mail client for Windows and Linux. The Mobility Email-client allows a user (only on Windows, so far) to move the installed client plus settings (i.e. e-mail-accounts and contacts) and put them on a moveable media, such as a USB memory-piece. I've tried it, worked great. It's even got extensions installed and enabled from the get-go, allowing the user to retrieve e-mail from Yahoo! and Hotmail (among other providers) and even to PGP-encrypt your e-mails.

If this tee gets approved, I'm gonna roll Katamari-style.

And don't forget to check out The Emo Song. Great stuff. Works in IE, not in Firefox (for me, anyway).
