I started to browse through the podsafe music network site recently (even though I am not a fan of their licensing terms) because, well, because it had some music I wanted to hear. I was getting bothered by their interface that presented these little play buttons for each audio file, and since I couldn’t just run it through Webjay’s Play This Page feature, I hacked up some code to do a little transformation to expose cleaner URL’s for the MP3’s first.

So this means what? It means I can browse to a page like this one for Scaterd Few , then click on a bookmarklet to run it through my hack, and get a simple page with links to the MP3’s.

But wait, there’s more! I can then click on the Webjay Play This Page bookmarklet to send it to Webjay and, you know, Play The Page!

And last but not least, as I said to Lucas “I will now patiently await cease and desist letters from all of the parties involved…”

I was always bothered by the scene in Return of the Jedi that shows Boba Fett falling into the Sarlacc pit. I mentioned this back in 2001:

I watched part of Return of the Jedi yesterday as well. I’m still waiting for the director’s cut where they show the scene where Boba Fett flies out of the Sarlac pit and kills Luke Skywalker…

Well… While browsing the Star Wars Databank, we came across this bit about ol’ Boba Fett:

The airborne Fett slammed into the side of Jabba’s sail barge before tumbling into the Sarlacc’s mouth. With a sickly belch from the desert creature, it seemed as if Fett’s career as the galaxy’s most notorious bounty hunter was brought to an end.

Emphasis on seemed is mine. I knew “the galaxy’s most notorious bounty hunter” could not be so easily eliminated.

(Oh yeah, Jane Wiedlin loves Star wars.)
