Pretty much off-topic: Grooveshark

Grooveshark is my favorite new online toy. Not tool. Toy. It's completely fun.

I usually put on some kind of music streaming while I'm working, especially in the afternoon. My office gets awfully lonely, and I'm still not used to working in such an isolated, non-public space. If I don't play music, I get kind of crazy.

But my general streaming sites don't usually allow a lot of manipulation of the music, and adds happen way too often. Grooveshark lets you create playlists, search for songs, play and pause all you want, and, while you do have to create an account, you don't have to download anything, which is awesome. There are premium memberships available, but the basic free account is working just fine for me right now! I spent about fifteen miutes after my (very loooonnnng) meeting this morning putting together my playlist for the day, and it's making my work fly by.
