So, it’s almost Christmas around here; so things are getting busy and things are getting wrapped up in paper and hidden in closets until Friday. We weren’t going to be exchanging gifts (between Jen and I) ut she busted that notion yesterday by buying me some gifts, so I have reciprocated.

Oh Why Not?
In terms of music services, you’ve got your Pandoras, your Last.fms and your GrooveSharks (and Rhapsodys and so on) but I’ve been using Grooveshark to post tracks I’m enjoying for a while now. Now they have a VIP service, for 30 bones. Umm, I think I may just do it so that I can...
