Death

You Are Death

You symbolize the end, which can be frightening. But you also symbolize the immortality of the soul. You represent transformation, rebirth of a new life. Sweeping away the past is part of this card, as painful as it may be. Your fortune: Don't worry, this card does not predict death itself. Instead it foreshadows the ending of an era of your life, one that is hard to let go of. But with the future great new things will come, and it's time to embrace them. Mourn for a while, but then face the future with humility and courage.

What Tarot Card Are You?

Last FM

So, while cruzing through a particularly funny and informative (in a pop culture kind of way) blog I happen to LOVE these days (Legwarmers) I came a cross a link to this site called LastFM that you can create your own music playlist and hear old favs and new suggestions based on the artists you say you like. Log on, enter artist(s) that you like and it will play songs related to your pick(s) and you can tag them/love them and LastFM will continue to "suggest" music you might like. It gives you information about artists and albums so if you REALLY love it you can buy it. I am currently listening and lovein' my way through the day!

And best of all (unlike some other music sites like this that look pretty cool), I can listen to this one on my side of the firewall. Yeah!

You can try it without creating an account, but I think if you want to get full versions of the songs to play, you need to create an account. Pretty painless, but one more password to remember. UGGGG!

UPDATE: My new FAVORITE music website! Pandora is a bit easier to navigate than lastFM and I like that you can add people who are also users on Pandora by entering their e-mail address. You can see what music your friends like! You can bookmark artists and songs in your profile and even shuffle different stations. However, you can't rewind a song or play a certain song on demand. But so far I'm liking it!

Where do I Surf?

As most of you know... I spend most of my day on a computer. Ah, such is the life of a Tech Support Rep. Between calls I do, well... many things, but mostly I surf the net. I read Blogs, watch on-line TV and generally satisfy my curiosity about the many things that float through this mind of mine. So when I find something cool, I will pass them on and hopefully you will enjoy these forays into the vastly great unknown: The Internet.
