I've just uploaded a
new Beta version of my site which I've been developing recently. It's very experimental and in its early stages of development, but contains a number of ideas that I've been playing around with. If you want to follow its progress then I'll be posting details of future updates on my
twitter feed. A brief summary follows...
JewelTubeis my new version of the youTube player. It was written using the
YouTube APIs and Tools. New features are multi-lingual lyrics and skip points. There aren't many videos available at the moment as a number of Jewel videos have been removed from youTube recently and also it will only work with embeddable videos.
Visualizationswritten using the
Google Visualization API will give a graphical view of a number of Jewel statistics. At the moment there are two visualizations:
songs by year, so you can see when Jewel was most prolific and when she was taking a break;
albums by setlist, is Jewel still performing more songs from Pieces of You than any other album? More visualizations will be created soon.
CalendarPast and future concert and TV details with a monthly view or a list view. Also has an option to view album by setlist visualizations. Currently only goes back to 2007, but more years will be added soon.
SongsA Jewel song database with a visual tag interface. It allows you to select songs using various criteria eg songwriter; genre; album. At the moment this is far from complete, I've still to add a lot more data.
"I think that one thing people should know is a manager should never get more than 15 percent. I have a friend that just is – it looks like he’s going to have a really big career. He just made his record – it hasn’t come out yet – and his manager is charging him 20 percent, and it makes me crazy. It’s stealing."
