Text of an email I spammed to just about everyone I have an address for:
===INTRO==============
I’m sorry to have sent what could be considered propaganda to you. I believe it’s well put together and raises very important questions, furthermore validating those questions and invalidating many official responses with evidence. Because of this, and because it’s so easy to send around (just a link to a video) I have decided to send it to just about everyone in my address book.
If you didn’t already know… Pandora.com. Yes, that’s right.
What? You want to know what I’m talking about?
Simply, it’s a brilliant option for listen to music. You go to that site, create an ID (only requires an email address) and you get a personalized (personalizable) streaming radio station determined from a seed artist or song.
How does it know what music to select? It’s made by the people who did the music gennome project, so they have littereally mapped and classified music (fairly well, it seems) and allow you to guide your station(s) accordingly… bring in variety or isolate to a single vein; the choice is yours…
Sci-Fi Film Fest in Columbus from noon Saturday, April 22 until noon Sunday, April 23 @ the Drexel.
Yup – I’m going… you should come… you should bring your friends…
geeks – unite, support the geeks who are putting on this event, and eventually – take over the world (the same thing we do every night, pinky).
I have setup a Flickr account/profile and played with it some… it’s totally awesome. I’ve heard of it for years, but haven’t needed anything like it, since I have gallery installed on a server on which I have nigh’-unlimited storage space…
Anyway – that’s my excuse for being slow to jump on this bandwagon… I’m here now.
The only question is deciding if I want to make the switch and pay for an unlimited account… then move all the photos I have in gallery into flickr… and worry about when their server goes down or looses all of my photos (not that such is likely, but less under my control).
So, in August, apparentally, Jeno went to Peru… It looks like she toured the countryside and hiked up mountains… went to the amazon rainforest, boated across pink-dolphin infested waters, and got friendly with sheep and mules alike.
I want the full story… if i get it I will post it somewhere…. perhaps I can convince her to start a blog of her own…
