Let's take it easy this Monday with a few cool sites to visit during your work day!

Over the weekend, I heard about Pandora.com, a intuitive music site that helps you select an online playlist of tunes to enjoy while you're surfing or working. It's internet radio, but your own customized playlist -- such a cool idea! Just type in the name of an artist or a genre of music that you prefer and it autogenerates a playlist. Don't like someone the site selected for you? Tell it so and artists along the same vein will be excluded from future lists. Thanks to readers Kevin and Marisa for the tip!

With the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show taped and set for a (toned down) debut on network TV Dec. 3, all eyes have turned to the field of beautiful models. Don't have quite the right cheekbones to strut on the catwalks? Get involved a different way -- by sponsoring a rising supermodel on the new site BeautyHolding.com. Spot a gorgeous talent, buy a stake in her future, and watch as her "stock" rises. You can earn money and help make the world a more beautiful place -- what could be better? Thanks to Kyle over at the Green Among Gray Captivate blog for the tip!

So, you've finally sat down and penned that memoir you've been threatening to finish for 5 years, but no agents or publishing houses are biting -- yet. What's a budding author to do? Well, instead of waiting for someone to find your obvious talent, publish your own book at LuLu.com. For a small fee, this site will professionally publish a copy of your book in either hardcover (with a dust cover) or paperback, then list it online for others to purchase! You can order copies for friends and family to become a big star in your own little bubble, and if it catches on, you get royalties through LuLu if your book is sold. Good stuff!

Have a great week, everyone, and we'll see you on Wednesday!
