What are my top 10? Glad you asked. (In no particular order):

But Not Tonight
See You
Enjoy the Silence
Personal Jesus
World in My Eyes
Policy of Truth
Photographic (Rex the Dog Dubb Mix)
Only When I Lose Myself (Gus Gus Short Play Mix)
Headstar (Luke Slater Remix)
Yes, I know it's heavy on Violator but that really is the album that all other DM is compared to.
P.S. I know I listed eleven.
Motorola iDEN GPS Tracking with Google Maps
If you've got a Motorola iDEN phone that has Java and GPS built in, you're in luck. A free service called Mologogo attempts to stitch the world of the GPS-enabled phone into Google maps. First register for a free Mologogo account. Next, download and install (no easy feat!) the Java app to your mobile. Start the app and what you should see is a Google map with your current position, complete with scrolling and different zoom levels. But here's where it gets cool: you can share your current position with your friends and they can locate you on their phone or on the web site. The uses of this are limitless (think “lo-jack” but not just for the car).
Apparently, the Boost mobile prepaid phone also works with this (and only costs 20 cents a day for the data portion).
I can't get my i730 to work. It's stuck at “Loading Friends” and eventually gives an error “Close indication open0.” Anyone know what's wrong?

Random Axis Camera Classroom
There is a never ending use for Axis web cameras and I'm out to prove it. Today we have a camera located in a Japanese computer lab.
Random Axis Camera Zen: Georgia State
A very nice evening picture of the Georgia State University Campus and the downtown Atlanta cityscape. Shot with an AXIS 213 PTZ so feel free to look around or sit back and watch as others move the camera for you.
Update: Remember, you can't use Safari to see moving images from AXIS cameras as Safari doesn't support server push “motion-jpeg.” You should be using Firefox anyways.

The Chronicles of George: Tech Support (from) Hell
Pages and pages of help desk entries and camp stories from a guy named George. There's a lot to read there so pull up your electric fireplace and get cozy with the PowerBook.
The world of technical support is like a reflecting pool. To those who exist outside, it appears to be a deep, mystical place; bottomless, terrifying, foreign. The truth, however, is that the pool is only about three feet deep, and the bottom is grainy silt over sharp, hurty rocks.

Sir Mix-a-Lot: Meet Your Re-Maker
Jonathan Coulton makes music. He did a remake of Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-a-Lot and turned it into a mellow balad.

Caution: Low Flying Objects
Seeing the recent entry on Boing Boing about the Jesus-face-in-the-sand-dune on Google Maps reminded me of my own “Google Sightseeing” that I found one day. Sorry, no, it's not the image of the pope in a grilled cheese in an hot spring– but rather a jet overhead (or below depending on your point of view) the suburbs of San Jose. Right place at the right time.
