Today's featured artist is Qwan . His real name is Krister Kalin and he hails from Sweden. While not quite as diverse and polished sounding as our first featured artist (Nagz), Qwan is also highly beat-centric and has some really cool stuff posted at amp.dascene.net. Qwan stays close to the chiptune genre while still remaining listenable and providing enough variation to keep the songs interesting. Qwan is all over the board with his songs and you never really know what you're going to get, so you'll want to listen to at least a few songs before deciding whether you like it or not. Download Qwan's modules here. Remember, to listen to these songs, you'll need to install the proper winamp plugins such as the ones available from chipamp.org .

BBS The Documentary
This is by far the most comprehensive and entertaining documentary I have ever seen regarding the early BBS system. If you're serious about knowing your internet history, or you just want some extra geek-cred, this is your new favorite documentary.
The Nada Chair "BackUp"
The best alternative I have found to overpriced ergonomic office chairs, especially for very low pain around the sacral joint. Works better than my Aeron chair ever did. Also, it comes in navy blue and black, in case you're not into the whole pregnant woman aesthetic (pictured).It's really not meant for sitting on the floor, it's really better for seats that offer poor back support, and works great at sporting events to make sitting in bleachers much more comfortable.
Antec Quiet PC Case
At just under $120 including a 500 Watt power supply, this "quiet pc" case has worked great for me for over 2 years. In fact I now own two great Antec cases/PSUs. For the money, it's hard to beat this combination.
