You've heard of Pandora, right? It's the Web-based radio
service that lets you choose your favorite artist or type of music, then builds
a custom station for you around that choice.
For example, just type in "Adele," and Pandora will
create a whole playlist of songs and artists with similar styles. It's
ridiculously cool.
And it's only the tip of the streaming-audio iceberg.
(For the uninitiated, streaming audio means music that's delivered in real-time
over the Internet, as opposed to broadcast over the airwaves like traditional
radio.) With a little know-how, you can access more Internet-radio goodness
than you ever thought possible.

If you're an active person and a smartphone owner, I have two products to recommend. First is the
Spibelt, an impossibly comfortable sports belt with a stretchy pouch that can accommodate keys, cash, your phone and other walker/runner/biker essentials.
The second is the
Jabra Sport Bluetooth stereo headset, which lets you listen to music and FM radio and make/take calls while you're exercising--all without wires. (
Well, sort of.) The Sport has a list price of $99.99, but right now you can get it from
Amazon for
$60.99 shipped.

I know so many people who buy big, fancy
HDTVs, then settle for the weak, tinny sound that comes from the built-in speakers. It's a travesty!
If you really want to enjoy your home theater--TV shows,
Blu-ray movies, console games, and so on--you need a nice set of speakers. And to drive those speakers, you'll need a receiver.

I don't know about you, but I hate scalp-burn. You know, when your head gets sunburned? It's worse than being burnt almost anywhere else, especially annoying when you start to peel--and yes there is a point to this gross rant—and it's just awful to have. So I always have to wear a hat when I'm outdoors for long periods of time (
yay, thin hair :(), which totally puts a damper on my music-listening times, because my big 1980s headphones won't fit under my baseball cap.
What is a girl to do? I give you
Headphone Hats from
Firebox.com.

Loose Change
When it comes to speakers, size does matter. As a general rule, the smaller they are, the smaller they sound.
The
Soundmatters FoxL v2 Bluetooth is a rare exception. This amazingly compact speaker bar delivers unusually "big" sound, with enough power to fill even a large room. And because it supports wireless audio streaming via Bluetooth, it's an ideal companion for smartphones and tablets.
It's also a great gift item for moms, dads, and grads.

Before we get started with our latest giveaway, we have some unfinished business to conduct. That is, we need to announce winners of TWO contests. Two, you say? Yup. Unfortunately our
Organize.com gift card winner did not respond to the notification that she'd won the $100 gift card, so (
don't say we didn't warn you!) we were forced to select another winner. Plus, we have the lucky recipient of the $50 Famous Footwear gift card to announce as well.
So, onward and upward!
