While searching for some writing life inspiration, I found this list over at The Writer. You can check out these services and find just about any kind of music you might need to put you in the mood to write, or whatever.
Enjoy!

Writing and an Experiment with a Mac Circa 1986
This guy with way too much time on his hands, IMHO, decided to figure out what would happen if he hooked up his 1986 Macintosh to the Internet.
The reason this caught my eye was it sounds ridiculous, but I was curious. As I read the article, this part hit home:
"In other words, Keacher put a ridiculous amount of work into completing a project of questionable utility to achieve a result that delivered an extremely frustrating and subpar user experience. And Keacher is proud to have done it anyway."
Sounds like almost any new or creative endeavor. Although, parts, of these endeavors actually create a worthwhile user experience. Either for the person working on the project, or the end user. I don't think this experiment, or writing a book, is of questionable utility necessarily. So, Mr. Keacher experimented with a really old computer, and I continue to write. We both gain something from the experience, and hopefully, our audience/readers will too.
Find out a bit about what happened here.
See you online again soon!

Extreme Gingerbread Houses
These gingerbread houses get extreme. See a 67-foot house, replicas of Hogwarts Castle and St. Basil's Cathedral, a gingerbread town, and more!

Your daily funny…because we all suck at something
What Every State in the U.S. is Worst at (from Yahoo!/Thrillist)
Michigan: Worst roads
8 Mile helped put Detroit back on the Hollywood map. Too bad every other mile in the state is as terrible as the Tigers in this year’s playoffs, since Michigan spends the least per capita on its roads and bridges, at $174 per person annually.
Harsh, but true. Find more tough love for the states here.

Work Break
Been packing our house up to make room for a big project. It got tedious, so I took a break and sketched this idea for front porch planters. The pine boughs and twigs should look good in color.
Now, to put on a pot of slow-simmer spaghetti sauce, open some wine, and see what happens.
