The Amazon MP3 store is really great. I’ve only bought individual tracks from it so far for the most part as I’m still clinging to the idea that physical CDs are better, but in terms of convenience it’s so much easier than trying to track down MP3s online especially when I’m just looking for one song.
What I would like to see is some sort of public facing API or widgets for the MP3 store. Even just an XML feed of tracks/albums I’ve bought would be great. It would be added exposure for them (as if they need any more, look at me here!) and everyone could mock not only my horrible listening tastes (there’s always last.fm for that) but my horrible spending patterns as well!

Truthfully I don’t know if I made the right decision. At times I feel as if I don’t have enough life experience, as if I’m missing out. When I was graduating from school, there was such a push to get out working and join the industry before you got left behind. And I had an incredible job offer that I would have been stupid to pass up, so I took it.
I haven’t moved around much, spent weeks at a time sleeping on friends’ couches bumming around. I haven’t gone backpacking through Europe or ridden a bicycle to the northern-most point in my small island nation. The longest road trip I’ve ever taken was only to the next state over, not even a day’s drive. These are the sorts of things I always assumed were more suited to liberal arts majors and now wondering if I am missing out on.
The other thing is I feel as if I still have a chance. I’m more tied down now than ever before with a job, student and car loans, responsibilities, two thousand ball pit balls and three thousand dollars worth of Swedish furniture, but I’m still only 23 and could still run away.
Maybe being laid off wouldn’t be such a bad thing.
It’s the second month of the two thousand and eighth year since the birth of Christ, I should know where I’m going already. Seriously. This is getting ridiculous.
