snapdragon76: this is made of win and awesome (Crow -- la la la)
Just a quick little jot to inform everyone of the full moon. OK, it's really mostly an excuse to use this line from Manos for the subject title.

I am a little concerned though. I had another early dad today. *siiiigh* I hope my paycheck doesn't hurt TOO much! Ever since the crackdown on overtime it's been hard. Plus, the lack of work to do. I wonder if there's going to be any jobs cuts in the near future.

Right now I'm enjoying a cool site called Pandora. It's free internet radio station (of sorts) that lets you pick who you want to listen to and create stations based around them. Just type in what music you like, artist, song, ect... and it'll find songs by that artist as well as similar ones. It's all based on the Music Genome Project. Actually, they explain it better than I could... I was listening to some Standards last night before bed. It was nice. Plus, you can sign up and listen to your music from any computer!

The youngest person to receive a Nobel Peace Prize received the $54,000 award. Martin Luther King, Jr. donated the dollars to support civil rights in the U.S.

Thanks for Pandora :D This will be great for work! I get sick of my ipod sometimes. I found some other sites like this before but this one seems to work a lot better. At least starting with The Beatles :D

That's what my mom said (who also happens to work in a doctor's office). She said, "It's a full moon? Well that explains things..."

According to the Farmer's Almanac (which was left by a pharmaceutical company of all things) this particular full moon is called the Hunter's Moon. Go figure...

Welcome! I get sick of my iPod sometimes too, and since I've reached my music limit, I can't add anymore to it. However, my company is ultra strict about streaming radio (something about using up too much bandwidth or something. I got yelled at for using streaming radio before. Wankers), I can't listen to it at my work, which REALLY sucks... TT_TT

I too have The Beatles as one of my stations! Maybe I could try to find you through the site! :DDDD

It was friggin' hard for me to find you on there! You know how many Dave Bates' there are?!?! Plus you have a gajillion e-mail addresses...

Speaking of which, you should check out my profile sometime. I have a few stations on there of my own you might like...

I know there are a lot of Dave Bates out there. Try using it as a username sometime.

Next time I get on Pandora, I'll check out your channels. I set up a Simon and Garfunkel channel today. It's cool too.
