With so much talk about Pandora lately, I decided to drop by and pop my email address in for an invite, just on the off chance I happened to be one of the lucky ones that got accepted.

Welp, it just so happens I came back from lunch a while ago and found just such an invite sitting in my inbox… That’s right, I’m a new Pandora tester. So far, I’m pretty impressed. I certainly expected more details before they could start matching my tastes in music, but all they ask is for one artist, then they take it upon themselves to branch out. Cool…

I also love the entirely Flash-based player. Since I run Linux on my laptop, I thought it’d be really cool to find something like this that would work cross-browser and cross-platform. Very cool…

Back to the music for now. I’ll be sure to pop some more details up later, after I’ve done a little more testing / playing / breaking…
