Pandora, Internet radio
I usually don’t promote things here, but this is utterly awesome If they ever make a radio station (satellite or whatever) out of this, I will invest all I have in it. It is genius in every way possible. Oh,…
Psst! You, in the blue!

Just when I thought that I was out they pull me back in
They asked me to stay another week. I think I’m going to yell. I thought I’d paid my final rent check, but no… The editor called me in and asked me if I could stay until the 12th. I couldn’t…
