Michael Swaim describes porn
When Michael Swaim was shot down for trying to upload porn he decided to do the next best thing.
CRACKED.com contributor Michael Swaim wanted nothing more than to host a little pornography on his video log. But when he asked for our permission, we said something like, "Hell no. We're all good Christians, here, and if any of our still-alive grandparents saw such filth on CRACKED, they'd literally die." So he settled on describing the pornography instead.

Convert audio between Microsoft and Apple
Here are a couple scripts to convert an iTunes audio file (m4a) to the ubiquitous mp3 format. The first script converts the file to a wav, the second one converts the wav to an mp3. The supporting software are nice because they're portable, they don't require you to install them. The scripts should work on m4b files as well.
- Download and extract mplayer.
- Download and extract lame into the mplayer directory.
- Download 1m4a2wav.bat and 2wav2mp3.bat into the mplayer directory.
- Drop the mp4 onto the first script (1m4a2wav.bat).
- Drop the resulting wav file onto the second script (2wav2mp3.bat).
