I’m really not one for celebrity gossip and all that jazz, but I really had to say something about Heath Ledger’s death. He died earlier today, in case any of you hadn’t heard. He was only 28.

I really liked him as an actor… I thought he was pretty cool (well, aside from the Brokeback thing, but hey, nobody’s perfect) and I absolutely loved him in 10 Things I Hate About You. I’m sorry this happened to him… though for somebody who really couldn’t give a rip about what celebrities do from day to day, I’m ridiculously disappointed.

Gosh… could you imagine the mess I’d be in if it had been Justin Bartha?

PS: While I’d like to say that Andrew wins the prize for the longest comment ever, Shawna’s still got him beat. No, this is not a challenge. I’m just saying.

Last time I discovered how to change the thumbnails on your Youtube videos. Today, I discovered how you can follow your favorite ‘tubers with RSS feeds… that you can see right in your Google Reader or Bloglines with the rest of your blogs.

All you have to do is type the following into your feed reader (or even directly into your address bar in Firefox if you’ve got it set up right):
http://www.youtube.com/rss/user/USERNAME/videos.rss

Just replace “USERNAME” with the name of the Youtube user, and voila! One beautiful RSS feed for your favorite videos, delivered hot and fresh with the rest of your daily bloggery.

So yesterday, I was so proud of myself for clearing up half of my hard drive, right? Huh. Not anymore. Well, kind of.

One of the problems I found was my iTunes music. When I had transferred all of my music to my external drive, I didn’t delete my old music files from my first drive just yet. You know, just in case; I had bought some stuff from the iTunes store and I didn’t want anything to… not work. Except I never went back and deleted my old files.

iTunes stores its library information in a little file in your music folder… and apparently, my iTunes was still writing to the old library file.

Which, yesterday, I deleted. Imagine my surprise when I went to put two new songs onto my iPod and my iTunes was COMPLETELY EMPTY. Oh no!

I guess it’s okay. Then I can get my library organized anyway. Right? Ugh!
