Music at Work (or anywhere you have your laptop)

 Pandora.comDear Desk Jockey's,

 

If you are like me you spend a good chunk of your day behind a desk, in a coffee shop, or sitting on the floor. (like now for example).  But regardless I am never more then three feet from my laptop.  Well here is a little tip to help you pass the time a little easier.  Check out Pandora.com.  It's a web site that lets you customize your own music stations.  It's free.  Simply pick an artist or song you like and it will customize a playlist based on that selection.  For each song that gets played you can vote thumbs up or thumbs down, or do nothing.  The more selections you make the more customized the channel gets.  There is no limit to the channels you can have as far as I can tell.   Give it a try.  I have it on most of the day.  And the best part, no commercials.

 

PS - If you are a Facebook fan, you can create a link that allow friends to see your channels from your Facebook home page.

Susan - I like I tunes too, but this is a great way to find new music you wouldn't otherwise think of that is similar to your tastes.  The channels are always rotating in new music.

Have you tried finetune.com  

I like it the interface and response and library more than Pandora. Enjoy

Darleen - You're welcome

Court - Are you mocking me for staying home on a Saturday night?!  Tim McGraw?  Seriously?!  I don't think we can be friends anymore.

Doreen - That's a new one to me.  I'll have to check it out.  Maybe tomorrow at my open house :P

? Why do you sit on the floor?  I don't think I ever sit on the floor.  May be the age difference :)

Ardell - my owner doesn't let me sit on the furniture.  If I do, I get the hose.

I love Tim & Faith - it must be my Southern roots coming out there...  I paid for front row seats and took my eight year old to their last concert and they both took the time to come over and shake her hand - pretty amazing and a night she will never forget!
