Pianobar - Pandora Client for the Console
I feel like I’m the last person to hear about this, but just to make sure everyone knows, there is a command line client for Pandora. And that is awesome.
It’s called Pianobar.
For those who love their service but hate the UI, myself included, this is the perfect thing.

Collection of Vim Resources
Having just switched to vim, I’ve been spending a lot of time searching for learning resources. Sadly I’ve found a lot of the available content a little too ‘spock ears’ for me.
