I think I'm close to losing my mind! This never-ending snow-ice storm has kept me largely grounded in here since Friday. We have snow in all but one state, and the poor folks of Queensland in Australia are being flooded out. This on the already tragic anniversary of the Haiti earthquake which took the lives of over 250000 people. It seems we have a ( Read more... )

Yes--isn't it awesome?
I can't wait until it's finished. You can of course thumbs down and thumbs up but you cannot add artists to existing stations or remove them; but I suspect that'll be fixed pretty soon!
For me I've been using the iPhone client to tweak the stations for now, so between the two, it's a really wonderful music listening experience.

I can't believe that just about everywhere throughout the US has gotten snow including Hawaii. That's insane!

Stay warm. Hopefully you can get out of the house sooner rather than later. :-)

Oo, being able to add artists to stations would be cool! It would definitely enhance the variety. I've noticed a couple minor issues with the client, but yeah overall it's great.
And finally we're half emerging from this ice age. lol I've just stood outside taking in sun today. I go nuts without it!
Also you got first ever comment from my netbook. lol

I love Pandora. My trainer told me about it when I got my new iPhone and I just love it.

I hope your weather gets better soon. Alaska has not had much snow lately, at least not in Anchorage, but it has been clear, foggy and cold. And today it is really windy. It is supposed to be around -10 below zero tonight!

I think the lower 48 has taken it all. Smiles And man that's cold!
I put in the Michael Jackson station, now that's a good one to work out to! Lot of fast-paced music.

Well, it could always be worse...our blizzard totals for the city were up to 20 inches, last I checked, but it's still coming down! Going to work tomorrow is going to be a barrel of monkeys :-0

And I've thought about moving up there? More signs that I'm losing my mind!

Eh, it's not such a big deal...you get used to it, like anything else, and of course it's not like it's every day. If it wasn't for the fact that I have issues walking under normal circumstances and so need cane when there's more than a bit of ice or snow out, I wouldn't even think twice.

My husband and fellow twiterite beerhound43 and I creature_girl08 are huge fans of quitter and hope. Tom did a review of the pandora client and showed a little of how it works for folks that he posted to twitter. It is pretty cool. I may buy it as well just so I can have stations I like of my own. Grin!

Didn't think I would love this stuff as much as I am. Gotta add you on twitter.

Oh yes, the storms have been awful back east and whatnot. Was remembering the earthquake from last year in Haiti. And I heard from one of my friends in Austrailia and so far they are all ok there. PHEW, eased my mind for sure. Lots of stuff happening in our world.

I want to put it on my netbook also. I guess I'll have to buy another copy in order to do that. That should be ok, though.
Glad you are following me! Smiles

We sure have gotten hit by the snow, esp this time! The ice was awful, did you get the ice up that way?

We got lots of ice! That's why I was stuck inside for so long. Only thing that's good about time flying is Spring will arrive more quickly. Smiles Life is ok up this way I suppose, slowly getting better in fact. I hope things are well with you also.
