Metallica & AC/DC New Albums…
Some of you may have noticed the banners I made for the side bar. Yep, I’m stoked about these upcoming albums (I pre-ordered both from the bands websites).
I’ve been listening to 2 of the new Metallica songs. I got them from Mission Metallica but you can get them from iTunes too.
You can listen to AC/DC’s “Rock ‘N’ Roll Train” just by heading to AC/DC.com (it’s embedded flash).

SyncToy v2.0 FINAL Released
SyncToy 2.0 for Windows is available as a free download from the Microsoft Download Center. The easy to use, customizable application helps you copy, move, rename, and delete files between folders and computers…SyncToy, a free PowerToy for Microsoft Windows, is an easy to use, highly customizable program that helps users to do the heavy lifting involved with the copying, moving, and synchronization of different directories. Most common operations can be performed with just a few clicks of the mouse, and additional customization is available without additional complexity. SyncToy can manage multiple sets of folders at the same time; it can combine files from two folders in one case, and mimic renames and deletes in another case. Unlike other applications, SyncToy actually keeps track of renames to files and will make sure those changes get carried over to the synchronized folder.
This is one of my favorite Cool Tools!
