Here are another 5 quick picks for you, the loyal reader:<\/o:p><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

\"tintedwindows_250\"MUSIC: Tinted Windows <\/b>\u2013 Set to make their live debut at SXSW, Tinted Windows is an all-star band to be reckoned with. Fronted by Taylor Hanson, the group also features Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha, Fountains Of Wayne bassist Adam Schlesinger, and Cheap Trick drummer Bun E. Carlos. Shortly after their first gig, the group\u2019s first album will be released through S-Curve Records on April 21st. Power-pop fans ought to be on the look-out for this project, which looks to be more than a one-off. (myspace.com\/tintedwindows<\/a>)<\/o:p><\/b><\/p>\n

BOOK: Kathi Elster and Katherine Crowley \u201cWorking With You Is Killing Me\u201d<\/b> \u2013 At some point, everyone is bound to be have a difficult co-worker that makes their employment complicated. As international business consultants, Kathi Elster and Katherine Crowley address this and other matters in their book. Ultimately, the authors aim to bring readers towards reflecting before entering stress mode. Definitely not a bad reference guide to keep on-hand. (wwyikm.com<\/a>)<\/o:p><\/b><\/p>\n

ARTICLE: David Kushner \u201cWhen Man And Machine Merge\u201d <\/b>\u2013 Ray Kurzweil can be classified as a \u201cfuturist,\u201d since he has long been on the forefront of subjects like transhumanism and artificial intelligence. In this Rolling Stone Magazine article, David Kushner speaks directly with Kurzweil and gets perspective as to when man and machine may merge into one. While many scientists and historians alike may aim to refute Kushner\u2019s beliefs, readers are treated to a distinct perspective about how things could progress in current trends continue.\u00a0 (rollingstone.com\/issue1072<\/a>) <\/o:p><\/b><\/p>\n

TOOL: Living Wage Calculator <\/b>\u2013 It is unlikely that anyone reading this is entirely unaffected by the current economic conditions. While this column aims to provide some form of escapism from economics, the Living Wage Calculator is a free tool that enables visitors to see the average wages and expenses of their town, county, and state. At the very least, on a personal level, this ought to provide some guidance as to whether things are bad as they seem. (livingwage.geog.psu.edu<\/a><\/b>) <\/o:p><\/p>\n

SHOW: Star-Ving <\/b>\u2013 David Faustino is best remembered as the actor portraying Bud Bundy on sit-com \u201cMarried With Children.\u201d In a semi-autobiographical (very-loosely, if that) online series, Faustino portays a broke, out-of-work, divorced version of himself in Los Angeles. His partner-in-crime is fellow child star Corin Nemec from \u201cParker Lewis Can\u2019t Lose.\u201d Free of censorships, commercials, and laugh tracks \u2013 but heavy on guest stars — the episodes are risqu\u00e9. Viewers will need a Flash-enabled web-browser to watch \u201cStar-Ving.\u201d\u00a0 (crackle.com\/c\/Star-ving<\/a>)\u00a0 <\/b><\/o:p><\/b><\/p>\n
