I got sent a link to the beta of a new music service earlier. I signed up, downloaded the client and BOOM, I was in all honesty blown away. It may not mean allot to many, but to anyone who loves their music, regardless of genre, it's a game changer.

So basically, you download the small client file, then you legally can listen to pretty much anything you like at your computer. If you don't pay the fee you can still listen, but every few tracks you have to put up with an advert at the end.

Why was I excited? It's just got so much music on, it's legal and it really was a piece of cake to install. Other than the ability to download the music to your ipod I can't see how to improve this much (actually, I do now know a slightly surreptitious way to xfer the music from here to your itunes library but it's not legal so I won't advertise it here).

So nothing to do with fishing, no decent photography. Sorry! But if you sit at your desk, whether fly tying, editing photo's, doing work, whatever - It's a cracker!

Fishing at this time of year may be the preserve of the brave or the stupid, but I love winter...
