Remove All Children!
When searching for an easy method to remove all of a node’s children in JavaScript, I really need to remember to include the search term “JavaScript”.

Transport is Arranged?
File this under “things I’m skeptical about”, but according to Pitchfork’s “real non-imaginary source”, Pavement is actually going to reunite to play a benefit show in NYC in late 2010.
I’m cautiously excited, because they really are my favorite band, but…
- Rumors of a Pavement reunion crop up every year or two
- They’re notoriously cryptic pranksters
- Their live shows, by all accounts, were always fairly hit and miss
- SM & The Jicks kick all kinds of ass
- Inevitable reunion stigma
This isn’t to say it couldn’t be good, or wouldn’t be good; some reunions have been awesome and worthwhile. Damned if I don’t want to go anyway.
Update: It’s totally real and Amy and I are totally going to go. I always wanted an excuse to visit New York for more than an hour.

The Beatles: Rock Band – Easter Eggs
If you hold down the left trigger and then depress the right trigger twice quickly during “Taxman,” the band will squabble over songwriting credits. George will walk out of the room dejected.
If you press A three times in rapid succession while moving the left stick from left to right, the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi will disillusion all four Beatles.
If you hold down A and B buttons at the same time during any of the White Album tracks, Paul will yell at Ringo to go home for the day and then overdub his drum parts when he leaves.

A mostly final tracklist
As revealed in the new Game Informer, the more-or-less complete tracklist for The Beatles: RockBand finally hit. The final verdict? Well, I was 28 for 45 with my initial list, which isn’t too shabby (a D- so maybe a bit shabby). My brother had suggested “Getting Better” in place of “Good Morning Good Morning” on my original list; as it turns out, we get both which is nice. I’m most excited about “Hey Bulldog” and happy with most of the songs I wasn’t expecting (especially “If I Needed Someone” and “Don’t Let Me Down”).
Although inevitably there will be a lot of downloads for this– with Abbey Road, Sgt. Pepper and, I think, Revolver already announced, I’m most disappointed at “Rain” not making the cut, since it doesn’t show up on any proper album, but I’ll hold out for a Past Masters set. “She Loves You” and “Lady Madonna” seem like shoo-ins.
