I know most of you are here for the programming snippets, but in case anyone from upstate New York is reading I’d like to invite you to visit Croquet Shows. Croquet is a music booking co-op based in Rochester, NY I’m volunteering for this year. We book artists from all over the world in some of Rochester’s best venues, including Bug Jar, Boulder Coffee, The German House, and others. I’ve been a fan of Croquet for years, and there’s a lot of great shows coming this summer and fall. If you’re looking for something to do in Rochester, have a look!

Last weekend was BoulderFest 2008, a three day music festival held in downtown Rochester at Boulder Coffee Company. Boulder Coffee is one of Rochester’s best places to hear all kinds of live music, and definitely worth checking out if you live in the area.

I’ve been a fan of Pandora Internet Radio for a few years, and one of the few things I dislike about it is that it can be annoying to keep the flash-based audio player open in your web browser. It turns out though, that this is a perfect fit for Leopard’s new WebClip Dashboard Widget. Just turn off “Only play audio in Dashboard” in the Widget’s preferences, and you have the perfect Dashboard mini-application. And I thought I’d never find a use for WebClip!
