"Cantaloupe Island" is a jazz standard composed by Herbie Hancock. It was first recorded on his 1964 album Empyrean Isles. It was one of the first examples of a modal jazz composition set to a funky beat.
It was sampled by the group Us3 on their song "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)", and furthermore has been used as bumper music (or button) on National Public Radio. Versions have been recorded by many artists, including Pat Metheny, Jean-Luc Ponty, Tanghetto, Jack DeJohnette and Milton Nascimento and TheBigMasterFunk.
Yonderboi has a (short) cover version of this song.

XTree is a file manager software originally designed for use under DOS. It was published by Executive Systems and first released on 1 April 1985, and became highly popular. Although the user interface was composed of text characters, it had many elements typically associated with a graphical user interface, especially when XTreeGold was released in 1989, and pull-down menus were introduced.
The program filled a required niche in the market, as DOS shipped with only a command-line file manager, until the generally unsuccessful DOS shell that was provided with MS-DOS 4.0. Even at this p...
I've seen a number of users with a PSI character in their names doing strange mysterious things on some Stack Exchange sites. What does it all mean?
A bromance is a close but non-sexual relationship between two (or more) men, a form of homosocial intimacy.
Etymology
Bromance is a portmanteau of the words bro or brother and romance. Editor Dave Carnie coined the term in the skateboard magazine Big Brother in the 1990s to refer specifically to the sort of relationships that develop between skaters who spent a great deal of time together.
