*Tell us how your week went by putting together a playlist of five songs that represent it.*
Thanks to Last.fm, this is going to be a cakewalk. Sometimes I think that my workplace is ruled over by “Lux Aeterna” from Requiem for a Dream. That was definitely a good theme for last week. After that, “Eye In The Sky” by the Alan Parsons Project. Next, “Lets Have A Kiki” by the Scissor Sisters and then rounded out by Billy Joel’s “Allentown” and Gershwin’s “Rhapsody In Blue”.
While I’ve been on my blogging bender this weekend I’ve been writing on my iPad and it’s been playing Spotify’s Classical Radio station. I find writing to classical to be the best experience when I am writing. Plus the iPad (with Drafts!) makes the entire experience all that easier since it’s so light and portable and the bluetooth connected keyboard helps me bridge that gap. I can set up my iPad and type along, listening to music all from one device. No laptop to haul around, just a slim neat iPad with nearly all the tools I need to write. The only thing that the iPad lacks and this is something that irks me, is an “After The Deadline” spell and grammar checking app. I looked and couldn’t find anything so I just spend that much more time in WordPress because they’ve got a working implementation of After The Deadline in the WordPress editor online. It’s not elegant, not by a longshot, but there it is.
