Low Stars (music)

This looks promising. Low Stars features former Gigolo Aunt and master of melodic pop Dave Gibbs. Killer harmonies, good songs. If Gigolo Aunts were from Boston, these guys must be from southern California, or wherever Sammy Johns was from. Looking forward to seeing how this disc does...Gigolo Aunts were robbed when Minor Chords and Major Themes wasn't a smash. Their debut disc is available now at Starbucks locations.

Mozy (online backup service)

Mozy offers online backups and from what I've seen, they can't be beat. The interface is slick, they've gotten rave reviews from folks like The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, and the pricing is great. Free accounts give you up to 2GB of storage, and for $4.95/month you get unlimited storage. It's also pretty effortless...you set up the files or folders you want backed up, then it does the rest. It runs in the background and backs up when your PC has downtime, or when you tell it to. I'd been using Data Deposit Box, which is also good, but Mozy is the clear winner, if for no other reason than price. It's a bonus that the product itself is so good.
