So you know what my favorite web 2.0 website is? Last.FM of course.

They recently pushed their beta site design live, and it’s beautiful. I’ve been using it to listen to music at work which has been amazing. I enjoy it more than Pandora, mainly because it isn’t so ad heavy.

My history with Last.fm is strange to say the least. I started using their services back when they were AudioScrobbler. I really liked the concept of the data collection they were doing. They logged every song I listened to on my computer, on multiple media players. Since then the site has been was merged into Last.FM and I’ve loved it ever since.

Some of the features Last.FM has added recently I really like:

• iPod Scrobbling (they track the music I listen to on my iPod as well as my computer)
• Full Tracks, not just the 30 second clips they used to have
• A powerful API. There used to be a decent API from AudioScrobler, but it has since been upgraded by Last.FM and they have added a cool app gallery.

The app gallery should really be highlighted here. Mainly because it allows access to historical data of what you have been listening to for a long period of time (four years for me I think).

Anyway, check Last.FM out if you haven’t already. If you want to add me as a friend or see my musical tastes, it is located here.

Happy Weekend,

So excited, and I just can’t hide it.

The Merchant of Death. Awesome. Check out the trailer page, and the Ironman wikipedia page. So a few comments on this film trailer. First, I think the Robert Downey Jr. was a great choice for the role, at least it seems so in this trailer. I’m hoping that he can play the cocky bastard / genius / superhero role well. It looks like he definitely has Stark’s pre-Ironman image down pat. On top of this, it seems like the suit does a great job looking like the Iroman costume from the modern comic books, such as Civil War.Finally I am happy that the movie is located all in California, even though the comic is based in New York. Why? Because California doesn’t get enough love from Marvel :p
Hasta,
