Makin' a splash on "The View"

The ever important TV show, The View recently added a giant squid to their cast and hope that she has more intelligent things to say than Ms. Goldberg. The giant squid will take over the popular "Politics" portion of the show at the request of many of the fans that watch the show for their political stances.

Best website of 2008 (for me)

Brace yourself. I have deliberated over this decision for some time now, and the final tallies are in, every vote counted and dangling chad accounted for. Here is the best website of 2008:

Pandora.com

If you are not familiar with this website, please, please go and visit it immediately. Pandora is a website that streams music, like an on-line radio station only you get to choose the music! The best part about it all???? It is completely free to you and me as users!

All you need is an email address and a password. From there, you type in either an artist or a song that you like. Based off of that information, Pandora will load a list of songs and artists similar to what you have chosen and start playing music. If you like the song, you give it a thumbs up and they will continue to stream that type of music. If you don't like the song, you can give it a thumbs down and they will find another song that you may like.

Personally, I love this thing. Through Pandora, I have discovered so many great artists and songs. Now I just log on and have great music at my finger tips.

If you don't know where to start, take some of my suggestions:

Nizlopi- acoustic feeling, (this is my current favorite)
The Postal Service- just good music
Jessie's Girl- I named this station on mine "Cheesy 80's rock" I love it!
Earth, Wind and Fire- straight funky stuff that will make you dance
Carpenter's Christmas- need I say more?

Hope you discover this treasure and appreciate it! Happy Holidays to all! Give yourself the gift of Pandora radio and rock your holiday socks off!!

Raced the race

Today was a nice day because I finished my last final. As I rode my bike home from my last exam, I got to thinking. "What did I accomplish this semester?" I spent hours and hours of studying, reading, attending lectures, etc. and what do I have to show for it? I hope that my future will humble me on this subject, but for tonight, I look back and wonder. I have really enjoyed most of my classes. Learning about real estate and technology was great! (the tech course is the reason I started this bad boy!) I once heard that college is meant to show others that you can endure. Grad school is the same. And I guess life really is the same. Can one endure and be happy? Why not?

p.s I am the pasty, red haired fellow in lane 1. Not first, maybe not last, but finishing the race!

Hasta La Vista Kevin

Well tech-class of 2008. It has been a pleasure serving with you. In pain and tears you were brought to life, yet with much joy and gladness do we say 'adieu'. Such is life in this crazy blog-eat-blog world. One day you are king, the next you are worthless. Here's to you.....my tech blog. May I find the gall to one day post, like I have never posted before. But until that day, may you rest in peace 'till I call.
