Surfing in the off season

[Iron Chef Napalm]

I've found myself getting set in web surfing ways. Without baseball, it's becoming even more apparent. The same old sites and rss feeds are turning a bit bland. Digg and Stumbleupon can help, but I'd like to see what this community could come up with for interesting links they would like share.

 

My submission: Pandora.com

 

I had heard about it a number of years ago, but did not really have a good location to sit and listen to internet radio and never visited. I was reminded of it recently while watching a video on the Nokia n810 and decided to check it out. For someone with my limited musical knowledge it was impressive.

 

Listening to the radio is a chore. Dodging commercials and disliking 90% of what they play. XM is better, but is a pain to setup in my new car. Pandora simply plays the type of music I want to hear based on stuff I already like. Quick, free, painless, and effective. I now actually know of other bands that play stuff I like.

 

I'm always amazed by how much stuff I miss and thought it would be fun to start sharing.

I love Pandora, but there is not a single on there that I listen to that anyone here would enjoy.
