Google Analytics: New Features →
The new customer segmentation, motion charts, and custom reporting features in Google Analytics are impressive (Note: these features are rolling out to all Analytics customers over the next few weeks and may not be visible in your account just yet).

AC/DC - Back In Black (Live)
I needed a little pick me up this morning. If you can’t appreciate this video on some level, you’re not one of those “Real Americans” that Palin talks about.

RjDj iPhone App
The RjDj iPhone app is fantastic. The app picks up real world sounds through the iPhone microphone and turns them into trippy music. It’s really difficult to explain, so I’m including three separate videos here that give you a sense of the experience (use the arrows on either side of the video player to skip to the next / previous clip).
