For the last 3 years or so, I have been saying to myself, I must really organize my growing list of bookmarks. I must really do this, because it's becoming impossible to find anything through the haze of broken links and incomprehensible names.

This is not to say that I do not back up my bookmarks. This would quite possibly be suicide.

So tonight I decided to pull my exported bookmarks from my PC, load them into my laptop, go through them and eliminate duplicates, and finally get off my ass and use that Firefox sync plugin.

Four hours later I am about ready to kill things. My neck hurts from hunching over a computer screen. My fingertips are numb from typing (and this doesn't even happen to me when I fic). I'm hungry, sleepy, and feeling incredibly as though I should have known better than to wait this long. I'm cranky that I took time off from a great Jack Sparrow crack fic to do something actually productive.

At least now, I will hopefully be able to find the right bookmark on the 3rd or 4th try, instead of giving up and desperately punching a description into Google.

Oh Internets, why are you so wonderful and yet so incredibly frustrating? ;_;

A friend of mine has been bugging me about this site called Pandora.com. I finally checked it out tonight, because I couldn't think of anything from my mp3 collection I particularly felt like listening to (or at least not one whose stuff I have much of).

Color me quite pleased.

The way the site works is, you give them a song or artist you like, and the site creates an internet radio station (advert-free) based on that style. You provide feedback by telling the site whether or not you like the song, and it refines the station based on your preferences. If you really love a song, you can make it or the artist a favorite on your profile, and the site can show you where to buy it.

You can create lots of internet radio stations for whatever mood you happen to be in at any particular moment. There are also more generic genre stations to listen to. The only annoying thing is that, for copyright reasons, you only get 5 skips an hour...so most of the time you're basically stuck with what they give you. But it seems to be pretty good at guessing what I like, so I don't think I'll get bored enough to spam the next button too often.

I can think of several people on my friends list who would appreciate this site. *pokelene*pokeNick*
