I’m a big fan of Last.fm and have been using the service for almost a year now. Last.fm’s downloadable Audioscrobbler has tracked more than 11000 tracks that I’ve played using iTunes, Windows Media Player and the Yahoo! Music Unlimited service. It is a social music application with groups, neighbours, friends, tagging, personal radio stations, and [...]

Tonight I opened my email after putting the kids to bed – it was “single dad” duty tonight as Mom finally decided to head out on her own after being cooped up for the last six months with our new daughter. Needless to say as I completely blown away when a message popped up with [...]
