Per YouTube user "wretchedSTONER," the YouTube username of the guy who used to have the awesome "24 Earth Years" fan-vid was named "BongofKthulu" (actually "BongOfCthulu").

That user account is now closed, but this was the old URL for his vid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU7DVQSOlnQ


Apparently he did a lot of these:

Unreleased insturmental from the self-titled / elephant riders era. Enjoy. I have more unreleased tracks from clutch... search "clutch - unreleased"

Anytime, and thanks for the views. Clutch is great, it's important that all of their stuff, rare and common, goes noticed. There was a YouTuber named BongOfCthulhu whom uploaded much more "rare" material, but I believe he hid/removed all of it to avoid possible suspension.

iPad and iPad Apps



iPad charger/charging questions:


Per Apple, iPhone apps should work on the iPad without jailbreaking:
  • Apps for iPad (Apple)
    "If you already have apps for your iPhone or iPod touch, just sync them to iPad from your Mac or PC. They run in their original size or you can expand them to fill the iPad screen."

Jake's Apps:


Children's Books & Apps:

Main:
YouTube: iPad iMagineering - Penguin Books - DK ()

YouTube: Alice In Wonderland iBook (actually available as app, not an e-book in ePub format)
All of this made me wonder whether there are Choose Your Own Adventure books available for the iPad...

According to Wikipedia:
"In November 2009, 33 of the books in the series were released for the Amazon Kindle."
Further:
"In August, 2008 Magnetism Studios released the first Choose Your Own Adventure iPhone application, Return to Atlantis."
And:
"In 2010, U-Ventures began re-releasing several of Edward Packard's Choose Your Own Adventure books as iPhone apps."
In the External Links section of the Wikipedia entry, there is a link to the "U Ventures web site for e-version of books."
