Welcome to MusicBrainz! - MusicBrainz

MusicBrainz is a community music metadatabase that attempts to create a comprehensive music information site. You can use the MusicBrainz data either by browsing this web site, or you can access the data from a client program — for example, a CD player program can use MusicBrainz to identify CDs and provide information about the CD, about the artist or about related information. You can also use the MusicBrainz Tagger to automatically identify and clean up the metadata tags in your digital music collections

How to Craft Your Personal Business Model - FreelanceSwitch - The Freelance Blog

Making these decisions can be overwhelming–even if you’re a veteran. This past January, for the second time in my career, I abandoned a comfy full-time gig and jumped whole hog into a completely open calendar. Coming up on my last day as an employee, I couldn’t wait to be free again. I felt like queen of the world: I had potential clients offering me paid work, volunteer opportunities to dive into, a long list of new skills and technologies I couldn’t wait to teach myself, and a calendar full of free time. It felt great.
Then I spent my first day as a freelancer wrapped in a blanket, wide-eyed and paralyzed, wondering what in the world I’d gotten myself into. That didn’t feel great.
It was time to do some soul-searching. I picked up a notebook and pen and got to teasing out a bigger vision that would help me make sense of the smaller decisions. I was crafting my personal business model.

Open Loops: Twelve Ways To Mark Up A Book

Use codes – Flag text with codes (e.g., Question marks to indicate disagreement, Exclamation marks to note agreement or to flag a strong statement, triangles to indicate a change in thinking, or a star for the topic sentence).
Write the passage topic in the margin as a reminder – Just a word or two.
Write questions in the margin – When you don’t understand something or when you don’t understand the author’s thought process on a particular topic, write the question in the margin as a reminder to settle the question.
Summarize – Add your own summary after the last paragraph. That simple exercise will crystalize your thinking on the topic. If you can’t write it, you don’t understand it.
