It would probably be too much like work to set up a dummy copy of my LJ, with a Last.fm, a del.icio.us, and a Twitter account linked in as well so that I have something I can actually show prospective employers.

On the other hand, if I want to, basically, blog for cash, I probably should do it.

EDIT: You know, I don't think much of LJ's stats. Telling me I haven't made an entry in the journal I have decided to use for this project is pretty fucking stupid, considering that I HAVE made an entry. But then again, it also tells me when I log in as swords_at_dawn that I haven't updated my profile, which of course I have done.

So I guess I'm gonna go ahead with this plan, because I wasn't using a ghost in the snow for anything else. And an arts/music/essay blog sounds like a GREAT plan.

I will even Twit.

I'm sure I could google it, but what is a Last.fm?

[channonyarrow.livejournal.com]

Internet social radioplay. Seriously. I don't know what it is myself, except that it plays music and keeps track of your music, and you can run a thingy that auto-scrobbles your songs from your iPod/iTunes (scrobbling is transcribing the list of what you've listened to). It keeps track of lots of totally useless stats (for example, I have listened to MCR 2464 times by now) and it's got that social-networking side going on; it recommends artists to you based on what you tell it, and there are radio stations you can access that play music in the same vein - so if you select The Academy Is... radio, you'll get Fall Out Boy, Panic (!) at the Spambot, Jasey Rae, Sherwood, We The Kings, for example. It's not totally brilliant - I thought it scrobbled the entire contents of my iTunes when I ran their app, but it turns out probably not because I had to add stuff it was recommending to me so that it would go away.

Check it out. It's www.last.fm, I'm under this username.

Ah, cool, thanks. Not really my thing, but interesting none the less. You are such a geek/goddess

It comes of being single and having no pets. *g* I am such a goddamn style yo-yo, it's not even funny. And I should be at the age where I'm shouting "You kids get off my lawn!" rather than running around trying to BE those kids.

Actually, Last is just telling me something I was already figuring out since I apped at Amazon: I'm a really big music geek. I just tend to not think I am in comparison to spamcola and graeae, who redefine music-geekhood, but compared to most people I know, I'm a big goddamn music geek.

Get a dog... you know you want one. Perhaps smaller than your parents though.

Never grow up, it sucks. :kiss:

I'm much more happy to have the cool kids like you just tell me what I should listen too. :)

Your icon...

It certainly draws one's attention.

[jkivela.livejournal.com]

I'll take that as a compliment. :)

Good, it was meant as one. ;]
