The Music Genome Project

A group of incredibly nice people came together and produced the Music Genome Project. Pandora is built upon that project. Enter the name of an artist or a song, and Pandora will generate a "radio station" that plays songs that are musically similar to your entry! It's a great way to discover new artistes that you'll otherwise never hear about!

The songs are of excellent quality and in my 2 days of usage, I've not encountered any lags or jerkiness. Best of all, the service is free! All it takes is a free registration that includes entering a random zip code, and you're on your way! Of course, the service will soon be ad-supported, meaning that advertisements will be displayed on the page, which, incidentally, is a brilliant money generator as most people will leave the page on for hours at a stretch, allowing hundreds of ads to be displayed in the process.

Get FireFox, open Pandora in a tab, and use the other tabs for your browsing. Great, eh?

In other news, I fell twice while blading today. Not injured, no, but they were embarrassing falls in front of crowds. Not that anybody will be watching me, but my ego that has been fed by years of arrogance and cockiness was badly hurt *grin*
