Natural comes to my mind too. And as for the written/verbal accounts of people hearing Robert Johnson live; they would describe his voice as "high" and his fingers as "fast".

Considering how crazy his voice sounds on those recording, I just wanted to hear the difference. And I think the slowed down version sounds more natural. Interesting points, Ken.

Any string or wind player knows that instruments have limited flexibility. Even if Robert Johnson didn't travel with a pitch pipe or tuning fork, the producers of his first or second recordings likely had something on hand. Jimmy Guterman at Boing Boing is exhausting the realm of perception, aka what sounds right. It's awesome and convincing, but incomplete. If he could back that up with additional science I'd be more interested. I first heard Robert Johnson on second-hand cassette. I thought the cassette speed was screwed up.

Sounds like maybe not. Google Talk certainly supports vcard avatars, but maybe you can't set it from outside the GMail or Google Talk service.

However it does not work for gmail accounts. For gmail, the log in process is a little different, and when I do that, it doesn't work anymore. Does gmail support Vcards? I have realized that by simply switching the order of these two statements:

I wrote a similar one that downloads other people's instead of updating your own. Nice to know you can go the other direction too. http://collincode.wordpress.com/2009/01/31/xmpp-jabber-photo-module-2/ Cool.
