Muxtape K.I.S.S.

Made my first Muxtape in no time early this morning.  You can access it by clicking here.

Other than Google, of course, this has to be the simplest user interface out there/in here, at least where music is concerned.   With such an elegant design at play I found it very difficult to turn away from the chance to re-capture even a smidgen of the romance an old mix tape session could bring.  And I must say Muxtape does an honorable job of it.  Plus, it’s as easy as 1-2-3:   Upload 12 songs, organize and share the link.  Looks promising overall.

The screen-shot you see to the left is the founder’s page.  Here are the numbers he released today:   8,685 users / 19,731 songs / 35,000 visits.  That’s after one day of action.

If you choose to make one of your own please leave your Muxtape link in the comments.  I’m always looking for new mixes to enjoy while working.  And it’s fun.  I’ve been told I need to increase my dosage…

Postscript:  I hear Contrabandwidth is compiling a Muxtape link-roll on Mog as well.

3. A small group of hunter/gatherers living in the Amazon rain forest is overturning some fundamental assumptions about the mind. Although linguists have long believed that counting and having words for numbers are basic, if not innate, to human cognition, the Pirahã people in Brazil have no words to express numerical concepts such as “one,” “two,” or “many.” “They don’t count and they have no number words,” says MIT cognitive scientist Edward Gibson, who headed a study published in the journal Cognition [pdf].
