First, a small rant (sorry): I’ve been a Verizon subscriber for years and a Mac user for even longer.

I’m going through some little mini-demos I did for Ajax testing and I’m coming up with some …guidelines of sorts. On the other hand, this might just be a string of mildly random thoughts on the topic. Well, whatever it is, here’s what I’m thinking: Read the rest of this entry »
I’ve had the idea to put a travelogue up on my site for a while now. I started to implement one a couple times but it never seemed to work out. As I was coming back from my last trip to the Adirondacks though, I got thinking “Wouldn’t it be great if there were a hiker’s travelogue website — a place where people could write notes about my trips and read about others’ trips?”

If you haven’t discovered it for yourself yet, do it now! Pandora is pretty much the best “radio” you’ll ever listen to. You get to be the DJ but without all the work. You pick the first song, artist, genre —whatever and Pandora selects subsequent songs with similar characteristics.
From there, just decide whether or not you like a song. Pretty soon, you’ll be listening to all your favorite songs and a ton of new music too. It’s a great way to make your workday go by a little faster or put some new life into your music library.
Speaking of your music library, every song you’ll hear comes with all the information details you’d expect as well as some links to buy the song or album from the iTunes Store or Amazon.
