So you want to listen to some music, but you are sick of your I-pod, the commercials on the radio are driving you crazy, and for every decent song, they play three that are truly awful.  Try Pandora, an offspring on the Music Genome project.  Type in an artist you like, and in what seems like a stream-of-consciousness way, all sorts of music something like that which you have chosen gets played.  It's nice, and will introduce you to music you've never heard before, but that you will like right away.  The negatives: you can't make requests or rewind a song, it's band-width hungry and an ad-free experience means a subscription of about $3.00 per month.  Still, that's a pretty good deal for all those tunes, especially if you're sitting at your keyboard WAY more than what you'd like to be.
