ReadableLaws

And while I am on the topic of digging up cool links, I'll share something that was emailed to the Atlantico list by one Jib Halyard, who is an author at this site and should have just posted it his damn self.

ReadableLaws.org: "this is a wiki dedicated to explaining Congressional legislation in plain English."

I haven't yet decided exactly how useful this will be. Let me know what you think of it.

Music Genome Project

My friend D. Miller sure as heckfire lights up the Atlantico email list. Sometimes it takes months to get through all of his backmail... which is what I've been working on 24/7 since my last blog post.

He directs us to a website called Pandora, which bills itself as "radio from the Music Genome Project". He has mentioned it before, and it's been around since 2000 (A.D.), but I haven't had a chance to really take this thing for a ride before today.

It's a beautiful beast.

Basically, you tell it what music you like to listen to, and it tells you what else sounds kinda like it. It seems really fun, and I'm right now letting it riff off of Jamiroquai, which I was once told is a Hebrew word meaning "sounds like Stevie Wonder". So far the site has touched on several artists I know, but with songs I don't. Give it a whirl.

Another Great Goal

In the spirit of the NHL All Stars Skills Competition, I bring you another amazing goal. For those of you that watched the competition tonight, you will probably agree with me here...please bring hockey back to ESPN. That VS. channel coverage is horrible. But you were able to witness this goal, a replay from an intermission exhibition in Dallas.

Rick Nash, Simply Amazing

For those of you that don't watch hockey, I pity you. It's moments like these that make me think that these are some of the best athletes on the planet. Not only do they play their sport on 1/2" wide pieces of metal, they can do things like this.

Last week on January 17th, this goal happened. Rick Nash, I stand up and applaud you. You probably have the goal of the year.
