Ok, my favorite new thing... if any of you have a desk job that allows you the comfort of a cozy chair and a glaring computer screen for 8 hours a day (and maybe a few lucky ones a cubicle) :) , this may be exactly what you need.
I found it the other day when I was looking for a new online radio station. I've been pretty displeased with those I've found in the past.
I stumbled upon Pandora.com, a site that allows you the option of plugging in an artist or genre you'd like to hear, and then creates a playlist of similar songs for your listening pleasure. What a find! I've typed in everything from Justin Timberlake to Michael Buble, and it's great music every time. You can register for free, and the site will remember your stations. Another cool feature is that you can select "Quick Mix" and music will play randomly from all of your stations.
It's cool! You get the best of the new and the old. I just heard "Pony" by Ginuwine (memories of 8th grade dances)... and I'll occasionally hear songs I've never heard before, by new or lesser-known artists.
The ONLY way to make it through a long work day is by finding something to wisk you away. This works. Trust.
Hey I am one of those folks that has the pleasure of sitting across from the glaring computer screen 8 hours a day- I will for sure try this out!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I don't have a cubicle- the newsroom is wide open, but I could play it really soft so it doesn't bug anyone...
I am one of those lucky people too! I have my iHome at work, so I usually just play the stuff on my ipod, but I would love for someone else to do the work for me. Sometimes I have it on shuffle, but there are still some things on my ipod that are either not really office appropriate, or that I'm just not in the mood for, so I spend some time finding the perfect song. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI will have to check this out too. Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteSo fun to see you at Megan and Tanner's reception. You look so good! Oh and not sure if I told you, but I love all your wedding pics I saw on the blogs. So gorgeous!
