Nothing newsworthy, but I thought it was amusing (can I use the word, ‘cute’?) to see the site maintenance image and information that I was given from Grooveshark as I was trying to access their website (for those who don’t know what Grooveshark is, it’s a free “internationally-available online music search engine, music streaming service [...]
