9dec2009 - SoundCloud

I've been experimenting with SoundCloud for audio distribution. I like their configuration for distribution; not so sure about their organization and search systems. It's all very Euro, so there's a lot of boring formulaic techno (seriously, I actually liked techno about 115 years ago...), but that's not SoundCloud's fault, it's open to everyone. One aspect I like is the capability of following an artist or label, Twitter style. That way, you get a notice when an artist you find interesting posts fresh material. To get a taste, here's a link to their Explore Tracks page.

worthy blogs

Gristmill - national enviro topics
Indiana Law Blog - thorough and insightful round-up of Indiana legal, environmental and political news by Marcia Oddi.
Masson's Blog - Doug Masson's citizen's guide to Indiana; probably the best Indiana based blog discussions right now.
Kemplog - Life and law in Eastern Indiana
Handlens and Binoculars - Natural areas observations, often regional.
bootstrap analysis - Chronicles and musings of a SE Michigan based field ecologist; my favorite source for environmental insight.
