Memory ball alarm clock

BallradioI saw this post on Gizmodo for this Memory Ball alarm clock radio.  When I first saw the picture, I though that in order to turn off the alarm you would have to roll the pall to a particular position, or a sequence of positions.  This would be something similar to the alarm clock that rolls away from you when you hit snooze.

Jinzora importing

Paul Westbrook | 31 August, 2005 08:02

I have played around with Jinzora a little bit, and I have found it to be a pretty cool program.

But, there seems to be some problems with importing media.  I tried to have Jinzora import my music using the folder structure only (since this is what the page recommends).  On the same screen there is a pop-up that describes how, what I thought was, the meta information should be presented to the user.  I guess I picked the wrong option.  All of my artists got interpreted as Genres and all of the albums got interpreted as artists.

The strange thing about this was that when I looked at the information for a specific track, it had all of the correct information.  It looked like the browsing information was just wrong.  I didn't see a way to rebuild the browsing structure.
