Haha, it's a blast reading and writing the comments. They're sort of like a mini-blog.

Have you guys shrecked out Pandora? It's part of the "music genome project," which tries to classify music by certain non-obvious characteristics. That sounds a little dry, but the upshot of it is, you go to the website and type in a bunch of artists or songs that you like. This creates a radio station for you that is composed not just of the artists that you liked, but it uses the genome business to put in artists and songs that it will think you'll like. Unlike the TiVo system ("You like Arrested Development? You'll LOVE Saved By The Bell!!!"), this one works really well. I've already found at least two new artists I thought were really cool. (Any of you guys heard of "The Knockout Pills"? Cool punk band.)

Do it!

Enron/Jael, what do you think about being manly men and grabbing a beer or two after work tomorrow night? I was thinking we could either meet at Jupiter's, near Games of Berkeley (in Berkeley), or good old Tunnel Top in downtown SF.

(Note, this was actually Jael's idea. I guess I stole it. What a rat bastard!)
