Pandora

If you don't already know about Pandora, then you should. Pandora is an online radio station that automatically caters to your tastes. Give it a song or artist name, and it will create a radio station that only plays songs that are similar to your entry. As you listen, tell it what songs you like and what songs you don't like, and it learns... just like magic!

Pandora Podcast

http://blog.pandora.com/podcast/

If you're a music enthusiast, then you'll appreciate these podcasts. They're filled with fantastic insights about musical styles and music recording, explained in a non-technical way. Some of the podcast titles include: Electric Guitar Effects, Recording Vocals, Song Lyrics, The Basics of Vocal Harmony, and Drums and Drumming.

Save Pandora

If you're from the states, you should sign this petition: Save Pandora. The US government is trying to throw a monkey wrench into the internet radio business by jacking up royalty rates.

Spring Ahead

Hey! It's been a while! What's the point in having a blog if it's only posted to once a year? My answer: for when I feel like writing... Like now! It's spring... a time of rebirth! Why not revive the ol' blog?

I'm almost done my undergrad. 1 exam, 1 report until the end... I'm still jobless, which is fine. It'll give me the chance to reflect on stuff back home, where my journey began, before career focus takes over. I'm jonesing for the townships, some home cooking, and cottage time.

Maybe I'll even have time to ski one more time before the season is done. Jay is still 100% open, so hopefully it stays that way until the 28th. Not looking good though, with all that sun in the forecast. Come on winter! Hang in there!

Lastly, I look forward to hitting up the last curling tourney of the year, up in Chicoutimi. One more chance to party it up with the curling crowd before we all hibernate for the summer :)
