Astonish Entertainment (a new record label) serves up one of the slickest Flash experiences I've ever seen. After the load, we were expecting the artists to be a "bit grittier" but the site still does not fail to impress. Be sure to Turn ON Effects.

After we unloaded our Dell last week, we were without a Windows machine to run browser tests on for a couple days. That is until the Mac mini arrived, complete with a dual-core Intel processor and a couple gigs of RAM. And OS X Server.
At the risk of becoming a regular eBay around here, it's another week, and we have another computer to sell. This week Firewheel is selling a Dell Optiplex GX620 with a 20" 2005FP Dell Widescreen LCD. With Bootcamp for the Mac, we simply have no reason to have this machine sitting around the office anymore collecting dust. We purchased it in January 2006 for $2,000. We're selling it for $1000 plus $100 shipping. Here's what is included:
Firewheel is selling a PowerMac G4 Dual 1Ghz with a 23" Cinema Display. We are the original owners, the machine is gently loved, will come with all original packaging, and needs a new home. For $1100 plus shipping they can both be yours.
