I have a guilty pleasure. I like to give (awesome) computers as gifts and record the unboxing. The first time I gave someone a Mini, I recorded a movie of it and it was pure gold. To this day watch it occasionally. It always makes me smile.

When my aunt, father and I decided that my grandfather – affectionately known as HAPPY – needed a new computer I immediately knew the Mini would be another great gift.

The first time around when Ashley unboxed her Mini I was a bit unprepared her reaction. This time I was more than ready to capture the hilarity that ensued.

Ever the music aficionado myself I took the time to make a simple list of some of the tunes that have been occupying my airwaves lately. Give somedirection.muxtape.com a spin, let me know what you think.

I love muxtape for its simplicity. It’s the kind of app that as a web developer you say to yourself – why didn’t I think of that?

Looks like S3 is leveraged for file hosting – smart move.
