I'm going to take a step back from work and recommend a wonderful, free, online 'thingy' that I really enjoy; Pandora.

I'm one of those people who likes to have some ambient music in the background now and then. In fact, when I arrive to work at 6:30 AM and the office is completely empty until 8:30, sometimes I crank the music while I work and shake the drywall loose (just a little). Hey...I'm a child of the 80's (dude!) and those are roots I don't want to trim.

So when my good friend Deanna (from the US office) sent me this link to a 'radio' station, I tried it. I already had subscribed to Yahoo!Music and like it, but I thought I'd give this 'Pandora' a shot. I'm glad I did. Great interface, I can skip songs I don't like, learns my taste, allows me several stations, and the feed is smooth and good quality.

So if you need a little break, stop by Pandora's website and set up your station. I doubt you'll be disappointed, unless you like classical music...I can't seem to get them to play that. Otherwise, enjoy!

Sometimes I digress...

I run a Gulf War Veterans Club over at the infamous Yahoo! Clubs hangout and one of the club's members posted an excellent video. We should all be able to motivate our 'troops' like this. I highly suggest you double-time over to the video on YouTube and take a 47 second break, soldier!
