Mango!
January 31No Comments
Just the thing for a long Wednesday: the Mango song, from the makers of the Badger song. Thought you could use something else stuck in your head besides “CORP-rate accounts payable, THIS is Gee-NA! JUST a mo-MENT!”
Here’s my design of the PandoraPod. I’d love to see it, would you? I think it could be a hit. Not only does it let you be portable with your audio, but you get the benefits of the Music Genome Project along with you, and an easy way to expand your collection on the go… [...]
If you haven’t heard by now, Google Image Search has a new interface. All of the technical information is hidden via javascript until you mouse over the image. People have their own opinions about this, but I hate it. Part of the way I qualify an image as useful or not is its dimensions – [...]
Wootable Awards at CES
January 19No Comments
I rarely post twice in one day, but this is too perfect to not send out on a Friday. The guys over at Woot give some good deals on stuff every now and then, but they’re pretty funny too! Check out the Wootable Awards for CES 2007. For all the work I’m sure some engineer [...]

[youtube]SPE8vL5hlFA[/youtube] Here’s a tip I got from Skip Barber Racing School, relating to when you’re driving a stick-shift and going out of control. In racing you drive with both feet, the left does the clutch and brake, and the right does the gas. ‘When in doubt, both feet out’ What this means is that if [...]
Well, the Pandora story continues, this time with Techdirt. The headline reads “Pandora Goes With Old Intrusive Ads To Boost Their New Media Product”. That certainly does capture what I’m trying to get across with my past few posts, and I’m glad to see it wasn’t lost on them. I love Pandora, and although I [...]
As Mashable pointed out, I’ve expressed my disappointment in the idea of audio advertising on Pandora, along with a few others. To me, Pandora represents a very pure service, offered for free, that has become one of my favorites out of the hundreds of web services I use on a monthly basis. In true conversational-web [...]
Pandora gets commercials
January 820 Comments
Unfortunately, it looks like 2007 has brought a dark cloud over one of my favorite sites, Pandora.com. While you can still get great music tailored to your tastes (and wonderfully based on music characteristics instead of user demographic averaging), it appears that there are now short audio commercials inserted into your audio streams. You are [...]
2007 Resolutions
January 13 Comments
Making short- and long-term goals are something I’ve always believed in. I’m not a big fan of just wandering through life, it makes me feel like I’m lacking direction. Like many people, I need the sense of accomplishment to feel like I’m doing something with my life. I’ve started using 43things.com to organize my goals, [...]
On July 20, 2006, I submitted the following idea to the Cambrian House community. I thought it was a good idea, but the community decided instead that there are more worthy projects. Now, the whole reason I signed up for Cambrian House is because I already know I have great ideas, but don’t have the [...]
