last.fm

So I started this blog with the idea that I’d write about system administration topics. My forays into last.fm are another example of how I’ve been failing to write about what I started to write about.

Maybe that’s okay. :-)

Introspection aside, I added a page pointing to the last few things I’ve listened to. I didn’t want to put it on the main page because it takes a while to load. Last.fm is pretty damn cool as a data collector and sorter, and I’ve found some new music that way. They are getting more commercial which dulls the experience a little but it’s okay for now. Update 7/7/07: I took that page down.

While we’re at it Yo La Tengo‘s next release has a great name: “I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass.” Another great band name is “The Number Twelve Looks Like You.” No idea if they’re good or not, I’ll figure that out in a bit.

So yeah, that’s my off-topic post for the day. Thanks for listening. :-)
