new discovery: scholar.google.com and blip.fm



by Rowena Ricalde (fourteenth entry)

new tools plague the internet daily. and because of the need that i had to get articles not only from legal journals but also from medical journals as well (since my topic is about newborn screening), i had to find out an easier way to do research.

again, i consulted my boyfriend. he really knows a lot of stuff going on in the internet. so he suggested i go to scholar.google.com. goodness. i did not do much research during college since we had case studies and feasibility studies for marketing or sales (pre survey monkey era). so we did not have to look for sources like we do for SLR. but now, it is the complete opposite. we need to research to support any issue we want to emphasize in our paper.

thank god for scholar.google.com, i can download the pdf files in the search results since they already post the link of the pdf together with the url of the site.

and as the monotony consumed me while typing, i realized i had no music on my netbook. all my music was on my external hard drive or laptop. so, upon consultation with moi, and after failing to livestream with rx93.1 and magic 89.9 on the internet, i went to blip.fm.

if you want to hear the playlists of people with similar artists or songs that you like, simply "follow" that "dj" and hear their music. also, you can pick any music on the playlist of people and choose to "follow" that music. cool! now i can opt not to download and music and just hear people's choice of music.
