If it makes you happy...

---

 

Things that make me happy:

1. Warm Januarys. (Even if it's cold today).
   
2. paintImmediately(). Because there's nothing like immediate feedback.
   
3. Backdoor code hacks that save me time and effort, but are completely transparent to the user.
   
4. Pandora. I've said it before, but it bears repeating.
   
5. Advil. Without which I would have died of a headache.
   
6. Applesauce. With Cinnamon. Who ever invented that should be sainted or something.

The day the music died...

---

 

Pandora (along with a great number of other internet radio stations) is participating in a Day of Silence, to protest the new increased royalties that are going to be charged to internet radio stations.

I wrote my representative... who was very politic, and basically said the bill to exempt internet radio from this is in committee, and she can't do anything about it, but to please vote for her the next time she's up for re-election.

Pandora is one of my biggest sources for discovering new music. I have bought probably 50 CDs, just because I heard the artist on Pandora and liked them. Regular radio around here has a rotation of like, 40 popular songs, so it's difficult to find things that are new and interesting (especially if your taste in music happens to be slightly off the mainstream). As usual, the music industry is missing the mark by putting these people out of business...
