We turn to Google for a lot of our online needs – email, maps of backyards and at times because we’re feeling lucky. Now, from the company that offers its employees free haircuts (probably not the most important thing about them) comes Music Beta. The long talked about project is ready for you to check out and, upon first glance, it’s pretty freakin’ sweet. Upload music from your computer and you’ll be able to listen to it on any other computer or Android device. Playlists, individual albums, it’s all there waiting for you no matter where you are (it’s a little like that Facebook friend who is always waiting to start a chat no matter where or when you hop on – but in a good way). Even if you’re offline, you can still access the songs you’ve recently played. The smart Instant Mix feature lets you pick one track and Music Beta by Google will customize a similar sounding playlist. Request your invitation now.

Huckberry’s Essential Holiday Gift Guide
Unzip your coat and have some mulled wine on the house—you’ve arrived at your final gifting destination: The Holiday Gift Guide. It’s like your friendly neighborhood one-stop holiday shop, except instead of balsa wood ornaments, ours is packed with thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list. Future heirlooms, small-but-significant stocking stuffers, and gear for getting out there (or staying in)—are all right here. There’s no music playing in the background though, so you’ll just have to hum Bing Crosby while you click around instead.
