Music Chains App

I want someone to create a web app like (or with) Last.fm or Pandora but that allows you to follow a stream-of-consiousness music chain. You select a song or artist and it plays a song by that person. Then it randomly selects 2 "similar" songs and you choose one to listen to next. You could play games to see how long it takes to get from one artist to another. How many steps from Public Enemy to Johnny Cash?

Friday Roundup: April 18, 2008

It's been a couple weeks since I posted my Friday Roundup (bad Sean!). So here goes.
I haven't explored ChaCha yet, but it looks like it could be very interesting. (via GapersBlock)

I like lists, and these cought my eye: 25 Ways to Jump Start Photography Inspiration, 18 Five-Minute Decluttering Tips to Start Conquering Your Mess, and 7 Insanely Simple Ways to Ensure Your Project Gets Done.

I found Thinking Rock and it seems to be a great way to organize projects in a GTD format. So far getting rolling is slow, but that just because I've got a lot of crap I need to do.

And this is just plain awesome. DIY flash triggers for taking pictures of things breaking! Expect some pictures before too long.

Friday Roundup, March 21, 2008

Everyone else is doing it, why shouldn't I? I'm going to post some of the links I've found to be interesting this week. Here goes.

Book Lamp It doesn't do much yet, but looks like it's got some serious promise. Anything that can find me new books to read is worth checking out.

And Great Lyrics Quiz Rock Roll The Wow this is hard. I missed 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 25, 30, 34, 35, 36, 40, 41, 43, 44, 46, and 47. I expect that Dad could do better than me, maybe Phil.

Recycle By Mail Now you can recycle small electronics for free by mail. I may be taking advantage of this soon.

Animoto Create a fun video slide show. 30-second videos are free. Longer ones are cheap.

Strange Maps Lots of very cool stuff on this site.

Do you like this idea? Want more? Let me know.

Peanut Pages

We've finally gotten a blog up for the new baby. There's not much there yet, but we'll be filling it in as we go. Check out The Peanut Pages.

PandoraFM

I like the social aspect of last.fm, but I don't think it gives me nearly as good a mix as Pandora. Pandora doesn't track what I've listened to as well, but put them together and you get PandoraFM, which is super awesome.
