scotty the cool hunter
my tres cool bf scott used to xanga. and as much as i miss his very sweet posts...
he has graduated to a much cooler and esteemed blog..one that is at the forefront of hipness and coolness.
he has taken blogging to the next level...and he now brings very cool things to people..
it's really awesome. you should definitely swing by and check it out from time to time.

to demonstrate, here is his post about one of the ultra coolest things he has discovered on the web.
one that i think we might all be able to enjoy and use...i know i have.
and now without further ado, here is a shamless plug for scotty's blog and his discovery of:
Pandora
Wow. I try my best to stay current with technology and as a result test
drive a lot of programs and gadgets, but this one really knocked my
socks off. Have you ever been bored with your current library of music
and wanted some suggestions on other artists/groups? I never really
imagined that a program could do that, but apparently I was wrong. Pandora is powered by the Music Genome Project,
a highly ambitious project that has led to the analysis of music from
over 10,000 artists. Basically, how it works is you input a favorite
artist or song and Pandora does a search based on the Music Genome
Project data. Pandora then compiles a "station" of streaming music from
various artists that produce musically similiar work. If you don't like
the music, then Pandora will make adjustments and suggest alternatives.
If you happen to like the suggestions, you then have the option of
buying the suggested albums from Amazon or iTunes. It's that simple!
This is an absolute must-try for anyone who loves music.if you like his blogging, also make it a point to check out his guest blogging on the web's premier cool hunting site at http://www.joshspear.com
there's a lot of good material there and also a very cool bio of my
hunny on there at the beginning of his stint as a guest blogger.
