It lets you do lots of cool little things with your Pandora station, the most useful of which (for me) is the ability to launch it from the Quick Launce tray and to minimize the player. Dang - look how small that is!
Works on Vista and XP, no Mac version (only for the Macbook Wheel).
Ever wonder what you're friends and family do for work? I mean not just their title or whatever, but what they really do. Here's a recent project that I designed and built. I didn't build the whole thing - I can't do all of the functionality with this Silverlight technology, so I worked with a Developer at work who did the scary C# code.
I was filling out an application online today and they listed "Transgender" as one of the Gender options. This may make you wonder "what the hell is he applying for!"... nothing strange, just some volunteer with kids. I'm not saying there's anything wrong w/ being transgender, I'm just saying I have never seen this option on a form before. Interesting... very interesting....
I was watching some MMA bouts the other night and was thrilled to find out that one of my favorite competitors of all time was on the card - Yves Edwards. This guy has such a beautiful style, I just love watching him. He's always so calm and collected, strategic and methodical, creative on his feet and on the ground.
He used to be a really well-known lightweight in the UFC, but they didn't used to have a lightweight title belt, so he was never official crowned as the champ. Then when the UFC finally got their act together and started offering a lightweight belt, Yves lost like 3 in a row. I had been wondering lately what happened to him, then POW - there he was on my DVD!
Here is a little highlight reel I put together for you from the fight. Wait for the end!! Yves is the bald one btw.
Some of you may recall the post I did in July about the Pandora music site. If you have not used Pandora yet, you should be ashamed of yourself. Stop being lame right now and type Pandora.com into your browser. Don't even read the rest of this sentence, just go there now. Why are you still reading this?
Anyways, recently they started incorporating audio ads inbetween songs and it really pissed me off, so I wrote them an email expressing my thoughts on the topic. The Pandora staff quickly responded and informed me that they do have a subscription option and it's only $3/mo.
Well, you now reading the ramblings of a proud new Pandora subscriber. This is a big deal for me because I have always been a devout advocate of free music. The subscription not only helps to keep Pandora online, but it also removes ALL of the ads from the page.
