Remember when you would never consider going out without pre-gaming it first? Remember when pre-gaming it meant splitting s case of beer with a friend? Remember when you could drink a whole case if beer by yourself? And still remember the evening? And wake up feeling fine? And start partying at about 11 a.m. the next day?

This is an email my brother Jake sent to the family, parents included. As a point of reference, he is twenty. I could have deleted the first paragraph, where he is basically bragging about the 12,000 mp3s he has on his computer, which by the way he didn’t even download himself but which were given to him by my BF. But it’s funny to me. The second paragraph, though, might make you feel old.

So people have been giving me shit about how I have way more music on my computer than I could ever listen to. I went ahead and used the Play Count feature to check the songs I’ve listened to at least once. After crunching some numbers, I discovered I’ve listened to 2.7% of my music. The song that’s been played the most? None other than Will Smith’s “Miami,” with 9 plays. Tied for a close 2nd are “Summer of ’69” by Bryan Adams, “Money For Nothing” by Dire Straits and “Bust a Move” by Young MC.

In other news, I know you guys all love to play Power Hour, the game where you take a shot of beer every minute. Or maybe you even like to tackle Century Club, the extended version of the same game. Well now you can make your own Power Hour mixes with iPowerHour. iPowerHour plays the first minute of every song on your playlist. It’s really great and the desktop icon is a mug of beer.
