MacSlash
.com.orgUnbelievable, I don’t know if any of you have been following the story of MacSlash losing their domain name, but it seems it’s all been down to an iTools email account. Supposedly anyone with a mac.com account has their email pre-filtered, without their knowledge, for spam. Someone in their greater wisdom at Apple has decided to add domain name registration company Dotster to the list of blocked spammers, and thus MacSlash never got their renewal notices and have had their .com domain hijacked by a Spanish guy called Vicente Peiro Crespo. I haven’t read the fine print on Apple’s iTools conditions but it seems pretty amazing to me that they not you choose what and what isn’t spam on your own mail account.

Which clumsily segues into the fact that Wiley Wiggins is currently guest blogging over at bOingbOing.

Three Turntables And No Microphone
I hate to sound like an 18 year old corporate whore, but Jeff Mills really is playing an absolute fucking blinder on John Peel’s show at the moment, ( so much so that John Peel effectively just let him play for the whole show ). Live at the Liquid Room Tokyo has to be one of the greatest mix albums of all time and one of my favorite CDs.
