Like Rock Music? Looking for motivation music?

I thought I would share my "Angry Rock" Pandora station with all my visitors.  I don't think I have blogged about pandora yet, but I should have.  I use this site almost daily, usually more than once daily.  It basically replaces the need for radio in my life.  It streams free music to your computer, but the thing I really like is it streams music to my iPod and smart phone too!!  I just dock my iPod into my speakers downstairs, call up the Pandora app and select my station.  Free music.  Check out the site, create your own station then, if you have an iPod touch or iPhone, load their app.  This site gets 5 stars!

If you want to listen to what I listen to while working, exercising, or shoveling snow (yes, my WiFi to iPod works outside too!) then check out my "Angry Rock" station.

The Second Mouse Gets the Cheese

Posted by David Marcucci

So people who know me also know I play World of Warcraft and people who play World of Warcraft know the much anticipated expansion kit came out earlier this month. While people flocked to pre-order this "upgrade" and stay up for midnight store openings to get their copy I stayed away, waiting for the craziness to end.

Long story short, I went online today and checked my local circuit city store for inventory and bingo, it said ready for pickup in 24 minutes! I ordered although I was pretty sure they didn't have any. Showed up at the store and got the "sorry sir, there was a computer inventory issue" story. They did have 1 collector's edition left though for $30 more. Well, I wasn't going to pay $30 more, but I'd pay $6. You see if you order something online at circuit city and it's not ready in 24 minutes you get a $24 gift card, even if it's because of a "computer inventory glitch". So downstairs sits a spanking new, still sealed Wrath of the Lich King, World of Warcraft Collector's Edition.

It seems the expansion sold out however the "collector's edition" did not. Apparently there was a shipping problem and while the regular version made it to the shelves for the pre-orders and midnight release party the collectors edition did not. So the uber-geeks likely picked up the regular edition and abandoned their pre-ordered collectors kit. Now my only dilemma is do I open it or sell it on ebay? Last time the collector's edition fetched about $150.
