The most important chord I added in is the E7 just before the ’stars fading…’ part. The verse section of the song is in C but changes to A for this part. The E7 acts as a pivot between the two keys. E7 is the V chord of the key of A and leads you into it. It’s very common to use the V chord to lead into the new key and to stop the two keys jarring against each other.

One person has taken the top 10 books at a given university and then cross-referenced them with that university's average SAT score. The results are very interesting, although, if they were truly representative, my SAT scores would be much, much higher, based on my reading habits.

The U.S. LoC has put a few thousand photos up on Flickr, asking the locals to tag and comment on the images. This is (IMO) an exceptionally cool and modern way to go about the business of archiving history.

Galacticast is a fun video podcast that spoofs the sci-fi, fantasy, and horror genres. The videos continue to increase in sophistication and production quality. Highly worth watching.
