This Dopplr looks like a cool service. We all know some of our Plotters buddies are all over the place… you (and we) know who you are. Thanks, Lifehacker

So Last.fm’s client finally features audio fingerprinting built in. Remember all the craziness of audioscrobbler and track moderation and all the various ways they’ve tried to make the content work.
I’d like to see, someday, a version of Last.fm (or really any service) that really works for classical music.
Classical music presents two main problems for these types of services: a) they often consist of several tracks that go together in a certain order and b) you really need to keep track of title, performer, and composer at a minimum or tracking number of plays makes no sense.

Someone should at least make a cool header for our blog if nothing else, then we could get rid of this blue … thing.
Hey, cool. You can do little asides if you have a quick little note to make and don’t feel like writing up a big ‘ol post. Just set the category to Asides and you’re off.
Howdy, all. Look, we’re blogging. Okay… 1,2,3, go!
The flickr thing at lower right will display any public photos with the tag “theplotters”.
Obviously there are more links to do, I just threw in there the couple that popped into my head just to get it started.
I added a feed of recent Plotters journals in Last.fm. Is that silly?
How to Get a Gravatar
Hey y’all, I set up our commenting thingy so that it’ll recognize gravatars. Gravatars are “Globally Recognized Avatars”. They can be moderated and once you set one up, your little image will appear on a number of sites and blogs when you comment.
Gravatar - Globally Recognized Avatars
All you do is visit that site, sign up (make sure to use the same e-mail you used to sign up for the blog!), upload your avatar, and blam-O! you have a Gravatar. Then when you comment on our posts, and on other blogs too, then you use the same e-mail, your little gravatar icon will appear. But only if the blog’s administrator has set it up.
On the other hand, if you think the gravatar sucks, I can just blow it away.
