I thought that rickrolling was over. Afterall, it’s 2008 and the first rickroll probably happened in 03 or so. It was a funny little inside joke that happened to me once or twice and made me laugh a bit.
Recently I’ve seen mainstream articles on rickrolls and the mainstream is starting to get the joke. That isn’t good. I’m imagining in the near future I’ll wince every time that I click a link from family and friends because rickrolling will be running rampant.
I can imagine my mom trying to rickroll me with family vacation pictures.
My boss trying to rickroll me with industry reports.
The trouble with being into the Internet is that you hear the bad jokes a million times. Don’t know what rickrolling is? Click Here
Congratulations.

Recently I’ve been spending a lot of time at the computer with my headphones in. I am overwhelmed with Pandora.com, the personal Internet radio station.
In the past I’ve used the website and it has been so so. Either their technology has gotten a lot better or I previously didn’t give them enough of a chance. I never thought that I could be so completely understood by a database located somewhere in Kansas, but it has happened.
If you don’t know about the site it is basically a radio station that learns the songs you like and then adjusts the play lists accordingly. You start by choosing a station named after a song or artist. Pandora plays similar songs based on a genome-type algorithm. As songs play you can give them a thumbs up or a thumbs down (which will skip the song). The more you listen the more the site learns about your taste.
Currently I’ve been listening for hours and have given a thumbs up to the last 15 songs in a row. Goddamn do I love Ace of Base.
