Music to my ears...AAARGH! I don't think so...

Tried to download some music. I went to the free download music site. http://music.download.com/ I thought I was figuring it out. I had the mp3 player attached and did the "sync" thing, and got a message that said: "Error: The server threw an exception." WHAT??? I decided to try and start over, saved it to a playlist...yadayadayada...and still it didn't work. Even my boss tried to help me...I was in my own profile on a laptop, so maybe that was the problem. I will attempt it again on Monday. In the meantime, I will try and download a song to my husband's iPod over the weekend. "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." Who said that? http://www.quotegarden.com/success.html

24th thing: The sound of music

I don't plan on using password management. However, I like the ideas Microsoft gave on selecting secure passwords. I haven't changed any of my passwords lately, but I probably will soon. http://www.microsoft.com/protect/yourself/password/create.mspx

I listen to music every single day, but usually it's the radio. My favorite station does have on-line listening, but I never really get the chance to listen on-line. It's usually at home or in the car.

My husband recently got an iPod for Christmas that has the Nike in-shoe technology and he has downloaded music from iTunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/ to listen to while he's running. He really likes it... yah, the music, but what he really likes is the ability to record the distance he runs and then chart it on-line. He's planning on running a marathon, so the music helps keep him motivated on the long runs.

My youngest son recently got his degree in digital media with an emphasis in recording music. I hope he will still be able to make some money doing what he loves. Right now he is recording his own band and burning a CD. Here's the site to take a listen. It's a different kind of music...enjoy! http://www.myspace.com/wemblyshadwell
