A few of my favourite things ....

This blog has slipped horribly in terms of its original intent (health and development experiences in africa .... hmmm) and frankly in terms of being a blog with new postings at all ....

however just a quickie to rave about and share my new most favourite thing ... and i know i'm tech-disabled so some of you yanks may already have heard of this ... but my brit compadres will definitely be in the same boat as me .... its a website called Pandora ... which is apparently linked to the Music Genome Project ...

anyhow - you just have to tell Pandora what kind of music you like ... either an artist or a song ... and the clever site will create a "radio-station" for you ... playing like-minded music ... which you then get to trawl through (but don't have to buy) ... perfect for cheapies for me who are scared of buying whole albums and are worried that iTunes is taking over the world ...

i swear its some sort of magic .... but its very lovely ....
