I'm adding some of my favorite links I've discovered lately:
Pandora (from the Music Genome Project) - This is being written to the accompaniment of music streamed from Pandora. You give it an artist you like and it proceeds to set up an internet radio channel just for you serving you songs it thinks you'll like that are similar - not based on "genre" but on harder to quantify (but they have) elements like tempo and lyrical quality and emotion. It's now my favorite musical listening means except for live music.
Emerald Stream - I've sung with this group, covering the Vermont repertoire of shape note tunes, gospel, Balkan, Georgian and other worldwide traditional songs, led by Mary Cay Brass. This link gets a CD offering from CD baby that includes downloadable music that is worth hearing.
Business 2.0 - Smart, hip, technologically aware, interesting. To me.
Barbara Micheals - My friend Barbara is a smart thinker who uses art to elevate people and society. This is her new home page. Yes, you should hire her! She's good.
And here are some I'm especially excited about but I just don't have the categories for yet:
CouchSurfing.org - You share your home, your coach with travelers and stay with others when you go afield. What makes it cool and different is that it has social networking features so everybody has a profile and can leave recommendations (or not) for each other. So it becomes safer and more fun and more of a community.
