An astrologer I read regularly on the web has said that in two hundred years we will have moved beyond the printed word. That means this whole blogging concept will become obsolete. If print disappears, will life be as interesting as it is now?

Words to Go

Pandora.com is a new website that allows you input musical artists and/or songs. The site will select similar music for you to test drive before buying (another option offered in addition to creating a "favorites" list for you). You can minimize the window and continue with other computer projects to musical accompaniment. You can give a thumbs up or down to each selection. If you ask, the program will tell you the musical criteria it used to select a particular song for you to hear. Registration is free for the version including ads. You can buy a premium version that eliminates the advertisement component.

You create virtual radio stations (multiple stations allowed) according to the type of music you select. Remember it's your original selection and additions you make which determine what kind of music will be selected for you. This is a wonderful idea and I love it. Hope you love it as much as I do.

Finally checked out Pandora.com, but found this buried down deep in the FAQ:

"A broadband Internet connection is required; dialup is not supported."
