No official announcement from Matt on Photomatt or the dev blog yet, but several others have picked up on the change to the download page. I found out from Weblog Tools Collection.

Whether you call them ghost tracks, bonus tracks, or easter eggs the unlisted songs appearing on compact discs are one of the many small pleasures of music listening. The problem is just finding all of them.

Have You Scratched a Cynic Today?

Some people are cynical about love. Some people are cynical about politics. Some are cynical about work or the economy. No matter the variety of cynic, however, one thing is universally true: Within every cynic lives a disappointed idealist. Scratch that hard surface, and the big heart underneath starts to show through.

Some cynics may need to be scratched harder than others. While they might never admit it, I think many cynics would appreciate the reminder of who they are inside and what’s important to them.

So, have you scratched a cynic today?
