Not a headline you expect to see very often, eh? Ok, so the accident wasn’t all that horrifying, but the pictures accompanying the news article are pretty impressive.

A friend of mine recently gave a way a stack of CDs, part of his Musical Bottom-Feeding project, where he gets and reviews an armload of discs from the record store bargain bin. I’ve put a half-dozen of them into an iTunes playlist to listen to at work.

iTunes has a nifty feature where you can assign a 1-5 star rating to a track, and I got to thinking that it’d be nice if you could assign this rating without having to actually switch to iTunes from whatever you’re currently doing… iTunes is hugely scriptable, so I suppose I could write a hook into it, but that’s too much like effort. Especially when someone else has already written a huge collection of scripts, one of which does almost exactly what I want. Over at www.dougscripts.com there are scripts for pretty much everything. Well worth checking out.
