A Major Thank You!

Well, what a long few weeks this has been!  I know it has for me, but I have suffered little compared to my wife.  The first trimester was long for her, she was nauseous, tired, and sick for the entirety of it.  This was not your run-of-the-mill "morning sickness" that is associated with most pregnancies, but was more of the 24/7 sickness variety.

10 Week Update!

Definitely 2 in there.  Measuring at 10 weeks and 2 days.  Healthy looking, strong heart beats.  175 beats per min, I am feeling some girls here!!

Both babies

Pandora vs Spotify; What's the difference?

Since the release of Spotify in the US last month, I have heard a lot of people trying to explain how it is "like pandora" or "like grooveshark".  I even heard one explanation that said it is like pandora, Grooveshark, and iTunes all rolled into one.  All of these comparisons don't seem to fit the bill.  I am not a fan of defining a platform in terms of existing platforms, it is lazy.  There can be similarities, but usually, each will have a unique set of features.

Therefore, I wanted to take some time to explain to my friends and family what I have found to be the differences between Spotify and Pandora and how I use each platform.  I will admit that I don't use Grooveshark or Rdio, so I won't bring those up.

Here is how each company defines themselves:

Thanks wife, for the awesome comic of the week.

This is where I am in life!
