Elsewhere on Wired:

*	It's not all iPods you know, there are some other nice mp3 players out there. Listening Post's Eliot Van Buskirk [has a look at a new model from Tascam][1] that bills itself as the MP3 player for guitarists. Some cool features include, "a DSP that can slow down playback without changing the pitch, loop sections in order to learn them, and pitch the song up or down in 1 percent increments to match your instrument's tuning."

*	Gadget Lab's Rob Beschizza finds a "[living lightshade][2]." The living lightshade consists of a hanging bulb and a vine the slowly grows up a metal frame. Strange, but kind of cool.

*	Annalee Newitz at Table of Malcontents wants to know why there's [more sex][3] in fantasy novels than sci-fi novels.

*	Cult of Mac [weighs in][4] on New York State Senator Carl Kruger's moronic proposal to ban iPods while crossing the street. Don't worry we already sent Kruger a memo about that thing called the Walkman, should be all straightened out by tomorrow. But we do predict somebody isn't getting re-elected.
