Find Something New Every Day, Part I

It's nice to have things to check in on every day: news, family, plants, email, etc. So why not add to it? This is the start of a series of sites that might be worth checking every day or so. These sites are all experiments, so I'll have to post updates about these as I discover whether they pay off or not in the long run.. but this first site seems promising: NPR's Song Of The Day. Each work day they profile a song and the artist behind it. The text is very short, and the clip lasts for the length of just one song, so this is hardly a huge time commitment, but the potential payoff is pretty high: discovering a new favorite band, or at least more great music to enjoy and tell your friends about. So here it is -- check it out:

weatherman (updated almost daily).
