Another Year over? What am I talking about, New Year’s isn’t for another week. Another year over means that we have just completed Year #2 of the BenSpark. Yep this Blog has just Turned 2 Years old today and we head into Year #3.

So what lies ahead in Year #3? Expect more Photos (of course, I now post them to Buzznet, Flicker and mySpace) as I complete year one of Photo-A-Day and start Year #2 (I think I am going to do it again, it has been so much fun). We should hit the 1000th post right after New Year’s.

Expect more messages about music as mySpace has become a great place to find new musical talent. I’ll be keeping a running tally of the Books, CD’s and Movies I mention on the BenSpark (Look for a Year in Review of all the things multimedia I mentioned this past year around the 1st of the year). There will be new drop down menus on the right hand side that will list those items.

I will continue to be on the look out for other Photo-A-Day friends, funny music and videos and generally fun stuff to do on the Internet. Thank you everyone for being a reader of the BenSpark for the past two years, welcome all the new readers from this year too.

I’ll add two books to the list right away. Where is Joe Merchant? by Jimmy Buffett and A Superior Death by Nevada Barr. I finished A Superior Death this morning before I signed into work and I finished Where Is Joe Merchant? this afternoon after I signed off for the day. So I am now free to read the next Nevada Barr Book.

Gotta Send a message out about my musical friends on myspace. One of my favorite things about mySpace is that I have been able to not only find longtime childhood friends (or rather they found me.) but I can also be exposed to musical talent I would otherwise not have found. And some of that musical talent have Christmas Songs on their profiles.

First up is Christopher Williams. CW has a Christmas Album called Unbroken Song. Allison and I picked it up at the last show we went to at the Lyon’s Den in Norton. The CD is great. You can hear one of the songs “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day” on his myspace profile. Great song.

Next Check out Timothy Daniel and his song “This Christmas” A cool sound.

Shawn McDonald has his rendition of O Holy Night. Very Nice. Check out Over the Rainbow and Take my hand too, (I know they aren’t Christmas songs but they are cool.)

Check out Paul Wright’s song Love Year Long, cool little original Christmas Song. Made especially for myspacers.

If anyone wants to turn me on to more musical sounds of mySpace send me a note and your recommendations.

Merry Christmas!
